„The future will not 'just happen'. It will be shaped and design is one of its most powerful tools.“
The Pinnacle of Design
Every year, the Red Dot team plays host to an international gathering of design visionaries in Singapore. Winners travelled from far and wide to celebrate design at its finest. Each laureate is recognised for work that reflects not only creative excellence but also the enduring global resonance of the Red Dot Award. With a discerning eye in search of good design, Red Dot Award: Design Concept illuminates works across Architecture and Environment, Product, Communication, and the defining Mega Trends of our time.
Award Ceremony at the Capitol Theatre in Singapore
Red Dot honours its winners with a moment of true distinction. In a time-honoured tradition, winners walk the iconic red runway to take the stage, where they receive their certificates in the presence Professor Dr Peter Zec, founder and CEO of Red Dot. The night reaches its height of anticipation as the winners of the prestigious Luminary award and Peter Zec Prize are revealed live. It is
a moment of pure suspense and celebration, witnessed by the global design community.
2025 holds special significance for Red Dot, as it marks two decades since the Red Dot Award: Design Concept began. It has become a stage that attracts the boldest, most forward-thinking minds from around the world, inviting designers, studios, and companies to present their research, in-progress ideas, and prototypes to set new benchmarks for design excellence and innovation.
