Lexus Design Award 2023

ANTICIPATE. INNOVATE. CAPTIVATE.

Inaugurated in 2013, the award has served up-and-coming talent as a global platform for exposure, discovery, and launch of impressive careers.

Design can light the way to a brighter future for all. It is this idea that fueled Lexus to create the LEXUS DESIGN AWARD over a decade ago, giving emerging designers a platform they truly deserve.

LEXUS DESIGN AWARD 2023 WINNERS

This year, the three-judge panel of Paola Antonelli, Karim Rashid and Simon Humphries selected the four winners from 2,068 entries originating from 63 countries and regions around the world. From addressing environmental issues to human-centric ideas, each winning design has the potential to drive change.

Winning entries for the 11th LEXUS DESIGN AWARD continue with the tradition of addressing issues and trends of the times under the theme of “Design for a Better tomorrow”. The four vigorous winning proposals aim at resolving particular social issues to help prepare for the decades ahead.

Lexus is pleased to introduce the four chosen LEXUS DESIGN AWARD 2023 Winners.
