The Kobe Sannomiya Hankyu Building, Ecoru Togoshi, and Osaka City Sewerage Science Museum, for which we helped create the spaces, have been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2023.
Based in Hannover (Germany), iF International Forum Design is the world's longest-standing independent design organization, and every year it selects outstanding designs and presents them with the iF DESIGN AWARD. This year, after a rigorous review of 11,000 submitted designs from 56 countries and regions by 133 design experts, the following three projects were awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD.
Going forward, we will continue to keep in mind the perspective of those who will use the space and work to create rich spaces that can contribute to our customers' businesses.
