Entries are now invited for the Kokuyo Design Award 2021 International Competition. The Kokuyo Design Award is an international competition for user-centric design, where the best of the best are actually turned into products for the consumer market.

This year’s theme is ‘Post-Normal’. The world became new while we were totally unprepared for it. Before we are given time to think carefully about things, what we like, dislike, agree with, disagree with, our once-familiar everyday life continues to change. So we try to catch up with the changes, and in our rush, many ideas spring up and disappear.
