Deutscher Design Club
The German Design Club (DDC) stands for excellence in design. We are the leading association for designers across all disciplines in the German-speaking world. We see design as a bridge between aesthetics, functionality and social transformation. For more than 20 years, we have organized a non-commercial design competition—initially under the title Gute Gestaltung (“Good Design”) and, since 2021, under the name WAS IST GUT (“What Is Good?”). Its purpose is to highlight the value of design as a driving force for transformation, innovation and positive change.
Through our various platforms, we foster interdisciplinary exchange, collaboration and networking, providing an independent meeting place for designers and creative professionals from business, politics and society.
