What Fuels the iF Design Award? Decoding Its Obsession with Smart, Life-Changing Innovation

The iF Design Award isn’t here for shallow eye candy—it’s got a serious crush on designs that think. Launched in 1953 by iF International Forum Design in Germany, it’s all about practical brilliance. Over 60 expert judges dig into what makes a design tick: Is it functional? Sustainable? Does it make life better? While pretty products like tools and tech often snag the spotlight, user interfaces and service design are stealing scenes too. With nearly 11,000 entries every year, iF rewards ideas that don’t just look good—they work hard and spark change. It’s the nerdiest, coolest design love fest around, and we’re smitten.

Ddiin’s riding this wave with Exlicon – Groundbreaking Multi-Shape Design Tool, an iF Design Award 2022 gem that’s pure brain food. Say goodbye to the days of wrestling with clunky, outdated compasses—this revolutionary tool redefines what’s possible in design.
