Dezeen Awards 2018 design longlist announced
A table made from flexible concrete cloth, a garment that could allow humans to breathe underwater and tableware made from food waste are among 171 design projects that made the longlist for the inaugural Dezeen Awards.
There were more than 3,500 entries for the first edition of our new awards programme, across architecture, interiors and design.
The design longlist features industry-leading names such as Nendo, Barber and Osgerby, Marc Newson and Patricia Urquiola. It also includes leading brands like Google and IKEA, plus rising talents such as Normal Studio, Tom Fereday and Envisions.
Other highlights from the list include a wax chair pockmarked by melting balls of resin, clothes that grow as a child does, a UV sensor that tracks sun exposure and a reusable tampon applicator.
The list will now be judged by a panel of designers and industry figures, including Benjamin Hubert, Paul Priestman and Mette Hay. The shortlist selected by the judges will be announced in August, while the winners will be revealed in a ceremony in London in November.
The winners of each category will also compete to be named design project of the year – one of nine Ultimate Design Awards, a top tier of accolades that will honour the most outstanding design talent of the year.
The architecture and interiors longlists have now also been announced.
