For the fifth time, we had the honour of designing the iF Design Award Ceremony. And next to the extraordinary designs, what impresses me most every year is the teamplay behind it. Together with Uwe, Carmen and Birgit, we manage to develop the show further every year, making it more beautiful, sharper, smoother and better. For me, that is exactly what a strong relationship is about: the shared ambition to constantly improve together. A big thank you to Linda Maas and Robin Schneider from OBJ.Studio Art Department for the beautiful opener, to Anika from AMBION GmbH for the great tech and setup collaboration, and of course to Yasmine Blair, who gives the show such a lively and warm character. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you Lukas: As the mastermind behind, you manage to bring together mountains of content, information and details into a truly unmatched design structure. That level of clarity, overview and precision is a huge part of what makes this show work. Congratulations to all for the tightest iF Award Ceremony in history!
