The NY Product Design Awards was launched to honor the efforts of talented product designers, design teams, and manufacturers from all over the world, whose designs have made daily living that much better with their practical and ingenious creations.

2025 Theme
Reimagine Tomorrow
Crafting the Future from Today’s Possibilities
Imagine a world where each product does more than meet a need—it elevates how we live, challenges boundaries, and opens doors to possibilities yet unseen. “Reimagine Tomorrow” celebrates those who breathe fresh life into the familiar and those who dare to envision the entirely new. These creators, whether rethinking the everyday or boldly venturing into uncharted realms, craft designs that do more than function—they shape the future. It’s a journey powered by unwavering progress, where bold innovation and thoughtful reimagination come together to build a tomorrow that is smarter, more dynamic, and intimately connected to human potential.
