Let´s meet at the
Vienna Design Week

The Design Intelligence Award (DIA) is the first international academic award in industrial design established in 2015 by the highly respected China Academy of Art, created to celebrate innovators’ and entrepreneurs’ imagination and inventiveness. Design Intelligence focuses on “livelihood, industry, future”. It is also about having a clear people-centred approach, emphasizing human-machine interaction and deep learning to achieve multidimensional social and economic success through cultural and technological innovation. It is a design collaboration activity which integrates human social networks with top-level design strategies. The Exhibition will showcase a selection of outstanding works by honorees as well as the Austrian prize winners.

keep in touch ….

A week is not enough.
Open until end of October…

22 Sept - 29 Oct

Clearly, one week is not enough for everyone to visit the exhibition. Therefore it will be open from 22.09 to 29.10.2023 in the designforum Wien, in the very heart of Vienna.

designforum Wien is a spatial and content-related platform for design. Its task is to think out loud about design and its function in our time and to create awareness of good design.

The designforum Wien is a place that offers the opportunity to prepare design-relevant topics for the general public and to address them in different forms. This is done through exhibitions, discussions, symposia, lectures, conferences and events.

A full Week
of Magic Design.

22 Sept - 1 Oct 2023

It's time to dive into the enchanting world of Vienna Design Week and the DIA exhibition as a part of it.

Vienna Design Week has been the talk of the town since 2007. It dares to challenge the status quo and explore how design can shape our coexistence in the city and beyond. Socially and ecologically sustainable solutions? It’s covered! From product and graphic design to architecture, crafts, experimental approaches and much more.

The energy of Vienna Design Week will collide head-on with the brilliance of the Design Intelligence Award exhibition. The works exhibited in the DIA exhibition will get to bask in the spotlight, captivating not only the design pros but also the curious souls who wander in with wide eyes. And believe us, there's no shortage of those – 40,000 visitors of the Vienna Design Week every year can't be wrong!

The Design Intelligence Award exhibition is a melting pot of creative minds, sparking connections and collaborations that could change the design landscape.

Design Intelligence –
Awarded Projects.

The Design Intelligence Award (DIA) is an international competition connecting cultures through design. It gathers a global community of entrepreneurs, creatives and innovators who tackle society's biggest challenges.

The DIA recognizes innovative, forward-thinking, and sustainable design solutions that address real-world problems and improve people's lives like the young talent Ruben Asuo and his football shoe for the rough conditions of Ghanas’ football fields.
