The Lexus Design Award is an international platform to identify and recognize the next generation of global creators and designers. Imagination, Craftsmanship, and Design have always been a fundamental part of Lexus brand. At Lexus, they believe in the power of creativity to change the world and build a better future. The award seeks to foster the growth of ideas that contribute to society by supporting designers and creators whose works can help to shape a better future.

This year’s creative theme for the Lexus Design Award 2018 is “CO-,” a Latin prefix meaning with or together in harmony. Lexus believes that great design can ensure the harmonious coexistence of nature and society. In that sense, “CO-” is an approach that allows the brand to explore its true potential and that of the environment by creating new possibilities through collaboration, coordination, and connection. Now, young designers get their turn for “CO-” to inspire them to conceive a better world.
