About
The concept behind the award is to give an opportunity for young designers to develop talent and skills under the best possible conditions.
With diverse views on future design, the award is an exciting cooperation between The Danish Art Workshops, Normann Copenhagen, Dansk Dynamit, Danish Association of Wood and Furniture Industries (TA) and OeO. Time to design – new talent award was founded in 2008.
