Sky Design Awards 2022 Shortlisted (Architecture)

“ALL LISTED IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER”

Sky Design Awards 2022 Shortlisted (Interior Design)

Sky Design Awards 2022 Shortlisted (Product Design)

All our trophies are handmade, done by artisans in Japan. Jon Billing is an American but has lived in Japan for three years. He has been doing woodworking since 2003 but developed an interest in traditional Japanese woodwork which led him to come to Japan. He builds furniture and also does traditional carpentry work in Japan.

As the world evolves and adapts to ever-changing circumstances, the Sky Design Awards also grows and transforms as we embark on our fourth year.

Last year we were excited to announce ‘Sky Design Bridge,’ a sourcebook of world-class architects, designers, and materials suppliers that will be newly established, making it a further upgraded DESIGN AWARDS, and will be pre-launch by the end of the first quarter in 2022. To inaugurate this milestone, we are delighted to unveil a new logo. This design was created to integrate the Sky Design Awards with our new B2B platform to connect designers and companies from different countries.

The red circle symbolizes the sun in the sky, shining a light on outstanding sustainable designs with social impact. The A for Awards is reminiscent of a bridge with a road leading the way to success by communicating with and connecting people worldwide.

ABOUT SKY DESIGN AWARDS

Like the limitless sky, the Sky Design Awards aims to create opportunities for designers to expand their potential and broaden their horizons. The Sky Design Awards was established by Merci Magazine, a company active in the design industry.

The SKY Design Awards celebrates achievement in design excellence for projects that deliver meaningful social impact in the areas of architecture, interior design, visual & graphic design, and industrial design.

The Sky Design Awards endeavours to create opportunities for collaboration between designers and companies in the Asia Pacific region and internationally. We strive to empower design professionals to hone their skills and creative development through our awards recognition, design dialogue and experience hub. We hope to encourage and nurture creative exchange and collaborative relationships with design peers and companies around the world.
