Enter now for ein&zwanzig 2020

Nov 5, 2019

With its ein&zwanzig competition for emerging designers, the German Design Council is supporting design students and graduates from around the world by providing them with greater exposure and the chance to expand their network. If you are interested, you can apply now at www.ein-und-zwanzig.com to submit your project  for the Product or Lifestyle categories. Works from the 21 winners will be presented in an exclusive exhibition as part of the Salone del Mobile 2020 in Milan.

An international panel of leading experts will award prizes to 21 outstanding works: 20 „Winners“ and one „Best of Best“. The winning products will be exhibited from 21 to 26 April 2020 during Tortona Design Week, as part of the programme of events surrounding the Salone del Mobile 2020 in Milan. For the last few years, the exhibition has been created by renowned designers: the Hamburg studio Besau-Marguerre in 2017, the Danish designer Nina Bruun in 2018, and in 2019 the designers Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto from Studiopepe.

Through this competition, the German Design Council offers young designers the opportunity to present themselves and their work to an international audience, and to take part in the world's leading furniture trade fair. They will also have access to the German Design Council's unique network of Foundation members, enabling them to make important contacts.
