KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD is an international competition for product design that aims to co-create with talented designers and support their activities.

Since its establishment, excellent product designs have been selected from entries that represent current social conditions, and award-winning works have been turned into commercial products through co-creation between KOKUYO developers and the award winners.

By delivering designs to the world that breathe new life into the tools we regularly use in our daily lives and at work as reliable products, KOKUYO aims to support the future activities of designers and at the same time, bring you a tomorrow you can’t wait for.

More than 20 years have passed since the founding of the award, and more than 20 products have been

created to date.

It is continuing to evolve as a project that conveys value reflecting the times, and not simply as something to be selected and awarded.

The theme is ‘Primitive’.

Any stationery, furniture or tool used in working, learning and living scenes.

The competition accepts entries from any corporation, individual, or group that fulfills all the following requirements, regardless of their age, sex, occupation, or nationality.

Unlimited: Entry eligibility is limited to those designs never before shown publicly (in Japan, other countries).
