The jury for the 2019 German Design Awards has announced the finalists for the Newcomer Award. Of the 188 talented young designers from German design schools who were nominated, the following have been short-listed to win the €15,000 prize: Essi Johanna Glomb, Luzia Hein, Gabriel Müller, the designer team of Luisa Rubisch and Rasa Weber, and Frauke Zoë Taplik.

Once again, a search for excellence in design has begun for the German Design Award.

The registration phase ends on 13 July.

The German Design Award 2019 has entered the starting phase. The goal: to discover, present, and honour unique trends in design. The experts of the German Design Council are constantly nominating the best international products and projects for participation.

Suspense until the very end: it was announced only at the 2018 German Design Awards ceremony that Philipp Weber was named Newcomer of the Year. Weber prevailed over a total of 132 nominees put forward by German design schools. More than 1,300 guests attended the ceremonial presentation and celebrated this special honour, which is awarded annually, together with the young designer.
