Preview the Future

Preview of the Future presents the latest winners of the Red Dot Award: Design Concept, showcasing more than 500 ideas from designers, studios and companies around the world, spanning everyday products, technology, mobility, healthcare, sustainability and beyond. Over 100 works are accompanied by physical prototypes.

These are concepts at their development stage: early ideas, prototypes and design explorations asking what design can do, and where it might take us. Each offers a different perspective, an unexpected insight, or a new way of approaching familiar challenges. As winners, these works represent some of the most compelling ideas emerging from the global design community today. Together, they offer a preview of the future through design.

Walking through the exhibition, you encounter ideas across almost every category of everyday life. Some explore challenges you recognise. Others are entirely unexpected: a medical device that reimagines patient care, a mobility concept that challenges how cities move. Each concept offers a different perspective. Together, they offer a preview of the future, seen through the eyes of designers from around the world. This 2025/2026 Winners' Exhibition is presented exclusively at Red Dot Design Museum Singapore, Marina Bay.

"This place is small, but the displays are inspirational and amazing. I love learning about new ideas and seeing beautiful, functional designed daily items."
