IDA Silver Award Winner

DEZEN is proud to have won a Silver Award in Other Fashion Designs / Recycle / Sustainable fashion, and a second Silver award in Accessory / Jewelry from the 15th edition of the International Design Awards (IDA) for our Juicy Grapefruit Signature Hoop Earrings. IDA attracted thousands of outstanding submissions from designers around the world who vied for the top prizes in this prestigious award.  Evaluating submissions from more than 80 countries, members of the IDA jury commented on the incredibly high standard of design entries across the five Award disciplines - Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic and Fashion Design.

A handful of designers, thinkers and entrepreneurs created the International Design Awards in 2007 as a response to a lack of recognition and to celebrate smart and sustainable multidisciplinary designs.

The International Design Awards (IDA) exists to recognize, celebrate and promote exceptional design visionaries and discover emerging talent in Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic and Fashion Design worldwide.  The Farmani Group founded the IDA as the design sibling of the Annual Lucie Awards for Photography, which has emerged as one of the world’s most prestigious photography awards.

Designed to revolutionize the fashion accessories with circular design model Juicy Grapefruit Grand created with closed-loop in mind by using renewable, plant based petroleum-free materials with zero waste production to re-define fashion accessories with a new green mindset.

The Importance of Design

Redesigning the hoop earrings aims to bring a new perspective on the centuries old genderless accessory. It merges in-vogue look, comfort and circularity for the eco-conscious generation to enjoy bold style and experience innovative materials. DEZEN is a low carbon product designed and made in California.

"Designers have more social responsibility than ever since we need to tackle large complex systemic challenges adapting the state-of-art technologies. Hence, International Design Awards (IDA) provides a great open platform that goes beyond just a design award to empower designers to explore, act, and share their social innovative projects," remarked Jury member Sheng-Hung Lee, Designer and Engineer, MIT and IDSA Boston Vice Chair
