【Application Overview】
The KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD is an international product design competition that’s all about bringing together proposals for projects the future needs and giving them form.
We received a total of 1,031 entries from 58 countries all around the world last year and are actively working on turning winning entries into commercial products.
Some of the 20 past entries that have been made into products include the Kadokeshi eraser, the Nameless Paints, and the True Measure ruler.
Through the process of thinking deeply about the tools people use in their everyday working, learning, and living scenes, the competition aims to give form to the possibilities of design and the power of products.
