Design plays an integral role in our daily life. Designers' inspiration and creativity drive new thinking in society, exploring possibilities and sustainability for the benefits of diverse sectors.
The DFA Awards is organised by Hong Kong Design Centre, supported by Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (formerly known as Create Hong Kong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) as Lead Sponsor, celebrating design excellence and acknowledging outstanding designs with Asian perspectives. Comprising six major award programmes, the DFA Awards underpins the role of designers within society, celebrates exemplary leadership, designs and projects with impact in Asia, and recognises the growing force of emerging Hong Kong designers.
As a stage upon which design talent and corporations showcase their design projects internationally, the Online Showcase of DFA Awards 2024 presents the winner portfolios of the four design trailblazers of DFA Lifetime Achievement Award, DFA Design Leadership Award, DFA World’s Outstanding Chinese Designer and DFA Designer of the Year, 215 winning projects of DFA Design for Asia Awards, as well as the impressive portfolios of the 17 awardees of DFA Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award.
