About IFB Award
IFB Award is DesignWanted's recognition programme for product and industrial design with real market potential.
We celebrate design that earns its place in the market — projects judged by the people who buy, distribute and manufacture design every day.
Born from the DesignWanted community, IFB Award connects emerging and established designers with industry decision-makers through a transparent, editorially curated process.
