How do we pick Best Japanese designs

Best Design Japan procures Best Japanese designs from multiple sources, primarily the A' Design Award & Competition. The A' Design Award is an international, juried accolade for good design, where entries are evaluated by a grand jury panel of eminent scholars, established design professionals and prominent journalists on pre-established, public evaluation criteria, following academic blind peer-review process that is fair, ethical, just and meritocratic. A' Design Award is organized annually and is open to entries from all countries and territories, and they also run and manage the World Design Rankings, as such the A' Design Award is our primary source when selecting Best Japanese designs to feature at Best Design Japan. We generally scout the A' Design Award's Winners Registry to find award-winning designs, designers and brands from Japan.
