Core Introduction
The VAND Design Award 2025 edition emphasizes "calm design," advocating for work that transcends trends and seeks balance, dignity, and quiet strength. With a jury of 149 world-class designers from 18 countries, the award uses unique "Human Calm Criteria" to ensure recognition is granted for enduring contributions to design's future rather than temporary fashion.
