Core77 honors over 200 designs in their 14 categories, from lo-fi design solutions to highly complex and collaborative efforts. The designs are judged by high-profile individuals like Italian designer Luca Nichetto; 54 members of the jury are split into groups of three or four. We’ve selected two notable project winners.
