On World Design Day, we honor the power of design. ❤️ Good design goes beyond function. It creates connection. It solves problems. But design isn’t just about the future. It’s also about the journey.
The lessons learned. The advice we wish we’d heard sooner. So we asked members of our international iF Jury:
 "What’s a piece of design advice you wish you’d received earlier in your career?" Their answers are personal, practical and inspiring.

World Earth Day 2025 🌍🌱 Design has never just been about how things look. It's about how they work – for people, for systems and for the planet we all share. Every choice a designer makes has an impact. From the materials we use to the lifespan we design for, from local supply chains to global scalability. Sustainability is shaped long before a design finds its place in the world. At iF Design, we see this responsibility every day. In our juries, in our award entries and in the conversations with experts rethinking what good design means in a world facing climate crisis. Their message is clear: sustainability isn't a feature. It's a foundation. And while there's still so much work to do, we're constantly inspired by the bold ideas and quiet innovations shaping a better, more responsible future – one design decision at a time. 🌱 Read more about our sustainability commitment: https://bit.ly/4cHClhL Kenny Arnold Diana Verde Nieto Richard Trigg Steve Alagna Lisa Gralnek #WorldEarthDay #iFDesign #iFDesignAward2025 #SustainableDesign #DesignForImpact #CircularDesign #DesignForChange #DesignResponsibility

Bold. Built to perform. Designed to impress. 🔥 What if your BBQ wasn’t just a grill but the centerpiece of your outdoor space? Compadregrill, winner of the iF DESIGN AWARD 2025, redefines the BBQ experience. It’s not just about grilling it’s about hosting, connecting and turning every meal into a moment. Crafted from facial concrete, Compadre combines the power of a charcoal BBQ with the soul of a stone baking oven – perfect for firing up steaks, crisping vegetables or baking pizza. And while the food speaks for itself, the design does too. Inspired by modern architecture, this grill is a showpiece. Sleek, sculptural and built to stand out. It holds heat for hours, so you’re always ready to serve – no matter when guests arrive or how many rounds of food you’ve got planned. Because grilling isn’t just about flame. It’s about fire, flavour – and timeless design. Manufacturer & Design: Compadre Grills, Ulm/Germany #iFDesign #iFDesignAward2025 #DesignAward #ProductDesign #OutdoorDesign #OutdoorCooking
