Organised annually by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), the DesignEuropa Awards celebrate excellence in design among holders of Registered Community Designs (RCD). The aim of the awards is to raise awareness of the design protection system in the European Union and to promote design as a valuable intellectual property right that underpins our economy and supports jobs.
On 25 September, the fifth edition of the DesignEuropa Awards took place in Riga, Latvia where creativity and groundbreaking design took the spotlight. This prestigious event brought together designers, innovators, and industry leaders from across Europe to honor the outstanding accomplishments of this year's winners.
The DesignEuropa Awards 2024 honoured four outstanding registered designs and designers, celebrating industrial design excellence. From emerging talents and innovative products to established industry leaders, the event recognised the best of over 800 applications.
The top two company awards were presented to a sustainable record player, Transparent Turntable, and a patient-centred hospital bed, Essenza 300 LT. Young Italian designer Chiara Mignani earned the Next Generation Award, while renowned German industrial designer Dieter Rams was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
