I don't know if you feel this way. Generally speaking, the design award only refers to one of the "three major design awards in the world", not one of the "four major design awards in the world. Starting from the "three major design awards", there is no doubt about IF and red dot, but IDEA and GMARK need to compete well. In China, IF, red dot and GMARK are listed as the three major design awards, while IF, red dot and IDEA are listed as the three major design awards.

Today we will have a good talk about IDEA

The full name of the American IDEA Award is the International Design Excellence Awards, the American Industrial Design Excellence Award. IDEA is an industrial design competition sponsored by American Business Week (BusinessWeek) and reviewed by IDSA(Industrial Designers Society of America).
The award was established in 1980 and is mainly awarded to products that have been sold.

Every year, tens of thousands of works participate in IDEA's selection. The awards are divided into gold and silver awards. From these tens of thousands of works, experts will select about 100 outstanding works and award them their due honors.


As red dots become more commercial and if become more and more popular, there are more and more idea Chinese winners. For example, China's Xiaomi MIX was among the gold medal winners in 2017.

At the same time, Google Home voice control speaker was also awarded.
