Lexus today announced the four winning entries of #lexusdesignaward2023, the international #design #competition that recognizes up-and-coming creators.
The three-judge panel of Paola Antonelli, Karim Rashid and Simon Humphries selected the winners from among 2,068 entries representing 63 countries and regions. Judging criteria were based on Lexus' fundamental principles for creating a prosperous society and a better future: Anticipate, Innovate, Captivate, and Enhance Happiness.
Winning entries for the 11th #lexus #design Award continue with the tradition of addressing issues and trends of the times under the theme of “Design for a Better Tomorrow”. The four vigorous winning proposals aim at resolving particular social issues to help prepare for the decades ahead.
Speaking about the #competition after selection of the four winners, judge Paola Antonelli commented, “Having served as a judge since the first #lexus #design Award, I appreciate, all the more, the generosity, talent, and energy of hundreds of young designers from around the world, and continue to note the #design field’s evolution, as these designers take an increasingly visionary and yet realistic view that encompasses not only humanity, but also all the rest of nature”.
LEXUS #design AWARD 2023 WINNERS
Winners entered a three-month mentoring programme in mid-January, which will see them collaborate with four world-class creators: Marjan van Aubel, Joe Doucet, Yuri Suzuki, and Sumayya Vally. This process aims to refine the winners’ ideas while developing prototypes that embody their proposals. First-time mentor Marjan van Aubel said “We live in challenging times where the #design we create for the future needs to be considered in terms of whether it will work in the years ahead. That is, will it be suitable, practical, and possible? I hope to give them a future-proof perspective. For emerging creative talents this offers a springboard for their careers. I am excited to be part of this!”.
This Spring, #lexus will present how the winners’ prototypes have developed and blossomed through interaction with the mentors. Also, in order to bring knowledge of the #lexusdesignaward2023 to even more people around the world, the public will be invited to participate into the People’s Choice Award. This award will allow anyone to choose their preference among the four winners as best representing #design for a Better Tomorrow. Details will be announced at a later date.
