British designers Tom Dixon and Bethan Laura Wood, Muji art director Kenya Hara and Morphogenesis founder Sonali Rastogi have joined Dezeen Awards 2019 as judges.

Other new judges announced today are Swedish design duo Front, architects Jim Olson of Olson Kundig, Vo Trong Nghia and Li Xiaodong.

Tom Dixon, who recently collaborated with IKEA to launch an urban farming collection, will judge design products alongside fellow British designer Bethan Laura Wood and Japanese designer Kenya Hara, who has worked as Muji's art director for over 15 years.

Anna Lindgren and Sofia Lagerkvist are the co-founders of Swedish design studio Front, which designed an experimental collection of life-size animal products for Moooi.

Rastogi is co-founder of Indian design studio Morphogenesis, one of the world's first architecture practices to report a "gender-positive pay gap". Morphogenesis has a 50/50 gender balance, just like the Dezeen Awards 2019 judging lineup.

With a career spanning six decades, US architect Kundig is the lead architect for The Bob Dylan Center, a recently unveiled proposal for a museum in Oklahoma dedicated to the American singer.

Xiaodong was the first recipient of the RAIC International Prize – an award launched by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and architect Raymond Moriyama in 2014. He won the award for his Liyuan Library project.

Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia incorporates plants in many of his residential projects in Ho Chi Minh City, exploring new ways of creating green architecture for the 21st century. This year's Dezeen awards judging criteria is weighted to benefit projects that are particularly beneficial to people and the environment.
