Our Vision & Prizes of Sky Design Awards

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 art & 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.

IN 2021, the Sky Design Awards announced the addition of a new award, The New Black. The New Black Award is for young architects and designers (under 38) OR small projects that push the boundaries of innovation to accomplish project goals in each of the four categories.

In 2019, we were honored to have PROMEMORIA from Italy extend an opportunity for one of our shortlisted firms – A.N.D (Aoyama Nomura Design) – to collaborate on a new furniture piece for an up-coming design show in 2020. We are hoping to foster more collaborations this year.
