We will be holding "My Favorite Item," an event that showcases the latest Good Design Award-winning designs as quickly as possible, starting this year on Thu October 15th.
From the winning designs of 2026, we will introduce 88 of the favorite "must-have" items selected by all 101 judges, along with their messages, in three phases.
"My Favorite Item" is an exhibition showcasing and introducing items that caught the judges' attention at the second Venue of judging, as well as their personal favorites, from among the Good Design Award-winning designs that will be announced on Thu October 15th, along with comments from the designers themselves (the exhibited items will be published on the website after the award announcement on Thu, October 15th).
The exhibition will be divided into three phases: Phase 1 will showcase designs that enrich everyday life; Phase 2 will feature designs that demonstrate innovative and imaginative power to shape the future; and Phase 3 will present thoughtful designs that contribute to shaping society and the environment.
Additionally, Venue will host talk Events focusing on exhibition design and the judges' personal interests (details will be announced as soon as they are finalized). Discover the best designs of 2026 at the One Item Exhibition.
