Now in its eighth year, Dezeen Awards celebrates the world's best architecture, interiors and design and has become the benchmark for international design excellence.

For the third year in a row, the annual awards programme is being run in partnership with Bentley, as part of a wider initiative to inspire, support and champion design excellence, as well as showcase innovation and sustainable solutions.

To kick off the 2025 edition of Dezeen Awards, we're hosting a launch event and panel discussion about why design matters, taking place as part of Stockholm Design Week.
