State Design Prize 2026 – Best of Austrian Design
Learn more
“Good design is not a product of chance; it is the quiet alliance of a bold spirit and precise craftsmanship.”—This is how the five-member international expert jury for the “2026 State Prize for Design” competition put it —which this year included two jury members from Tyrol: interior architect and product designer Nina Mair and architect Patrick Lüth—in the introductory statement of the accompanying catalog for the exhibition of the same name.
Every two years, the Federal Ministry of Economy, Energy, and Tourism awards the “State Prize for Design.” The competition was held for the 51st time this year and honors the most creative and innovative products in the three categories “Consumer Goods,” “Capital Goods,” and “Interior Product Design.” In addition, special prizes were awarded for spatial design in the “Spaces & Environment” category and for forward-looking, innovative, and as-yet-unrealized projects by emerging young designers in the “Design Concepts” category.
