IDEAS Ltd to sponsor Design Guild Mark 2024

IDEAS Ltd has signed up as a sponsor of the Furniture category for the 2024 Design Guild Mark awards.

Founded by Keith Lovelace in 2002, IDEAS is a leading authority in ergonomics and inclusive design for any commercial or public space including leisure, sports, hospitality, healthcare, and education.

Since its inception in 2008, the Design Guild Mark has grown to become one of the most influential and coveted design programmes. Its three categories – Furniture, Lighting Design, and Interior Design Elements – are open to designers working in the UK and British designers working abroad. Each submission is subsequently judged in person, with the designer present, by a carefully curated panel of judges, all of whom are at the top of their respective fields and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the evaluation process.

Designers and companies have until 19 January 2024 to submit entries for the final deadline.
