iD INTERNATIONAL EMERGING DESIGNER AWARDS 2020 WINNERS NAMED

For the first time in the 16 year history of the iD International Emerging Design Awards, the awards winners were named at a show they were unable to attend.

Finalists from 14 countries filmed themselves and their collections on their phones in their bedrooms, apartment building hallways and parks during lockdown.
