TheCalibre Design Awards, held annually by IIDA SoCal, the Southern California Chapter of the International Interior Designers Association (IIDA), celebrates design and recognizes the importance of collaboration and teamwork to realize successful projects across multiple typologies.

With design careers spanning three decades, the husband-and-wife duo are industry pioneers and creative icons who elevate the quality of the built environment. Their portfolio encompasses commercial, hospitality and museum interiors, as well as industrial, textile and furniture designs. Felderman and Keatinge were recently named Design Legends at the 37thannual Interiors Awards presented by Contract magazine.

Future design leaders were also honored at the Calibre Awards gala. Each year IIDA SoCal invites student members to participate in portfolio and charrette competitions organized by the IIDA SoCal Board of Directors. An esteemed panel of professionals serves as jurors for each program, and the chapter provides monetary awards in recognition of outstanding student work. Top students received sponsored tickets to the gala, where they were presented with their awards.

Last November, 30 students from interior design programs in schools throughout Southern California gathered in Costa Mesa for the 2017 IIDA Southern California Student Design Charette, hosted by Pivot Interiors. Students were grouped into six teams and allotted only 4.5 hours to design a multiuse concept combining a spa, yoga studio, beauty salon, retail, and a restaurant set within the The Bloc, a new open-air shopping center in downtown Los Angeles.

Additionally, 13 student members from six Southern California schools participated in a portfolio competition. A total of $16,000 was divided between scholarship award winners. The winners include Melissa Yip (California State University Long Beach) in the Social Relevance Category, Melissa Nguyen (Art Center College of Design) in the Innovation Category, and Afshin Homayoonmehr (San Diego Mesa College) as an Honorable Mention.

Companies, designers, architects and agencies worldwide are now invited to submit their products and projects for the German Design Awards 2025. The German Design Awards by the German Design Council set international standards for innovative design developments and competitiveness on the global market. It only honours projects that are pioneering in the German and international design landscape and highlights positive developments in circular design. The award not only makes success visible, but also opens up a valuable network, international reach and additional market opportunities for the award winners. Application deadline is 6 September 2024.

Whether digitalisation, AI or circular design - the German Design Award platform reveals the contribution that design can make to the sustainable transformation of the economy. Now more than ever, outstanding design can provide answers to the challenges of our time, focussing on the impact of products and services on the planet and our society - through multi-perspective approaches, sustainable and circular design processes or resource- and environmentally friendly production. The German Design Award has set itself the goal of promoting the diverse transformation tasks of our time through design and providing orientation for others through outstanding examples.

Starting this year, companies and designers can submit their projects in an additional category called "Circular Design". This category recognises particularly innovative solutions that implement the current objectives of the circular economy and provide inspiring impulses.

The high-calibre international jury of the German Design Awards honours these pioneering design achievements in three main categories: "Excellent Product Design", "Excellent Communications Design" and "Excellent Architecture". The German Design Awards make design trends visible across all industries in a glamorous setting.

The Awards Show in Frankfurt am Main in February 2025 is one of the biggest design events of the year, where international guests from various industries get together and exchange ideas. The "Gold" award winners will also be showcased in an exhibition.

To visualise pioneering developments in architecture through the influence of artificial intelligence and digital design methods, designers and developers can submit projects, service designs and virtual architectures in the "AI in Architecture and Metaverse Space Design" category from this year onwards.

The German Design Council has entered into an exclusive TV partnership with CBS/Paramount's new US documentary series Europe ByDesign, offering German Design Award winners far-reaching opportunities to position themselves on the US market. You can present your work in the next season of Europe ByDesign, which will be broadcasted in prime time on CBS in the USA as well as streamed worldwide.
