International Forum Design was launched in 2001, as the operative business arm of design promotion company iF Industrie Forum Design Hannover e.V. (founded in 1953).[3] International Forum Design and Industrie Forum Design are known internationally for awarding the annual iF product design awards.[4]

Overview

Industrie Forum Design Hannover was established in 1953[5] as "Die gute Industrieform" ("Good Industrial Form") by Deutsche Messe AG (then known as Deutsche Messe- und Ausstellungs- AG); the Working Party on Industrial Design within the Federation of German Industries (BDI); and other design corporations. It is located in the Hanover exhibition center, and was founded to promote industrial goods by organizing and promoting exhibitions.[6] The company held its first exhibition in 1953, and has awarded the iF design awards annually since 1954.
