National Design Awards
25th ANNIVERSARY PRESENTATION
April 3, 2025

Join 2025 Award winners, design leaders, and museum patrons for cocktails, a seated dinner, and the official presentation of the 2025 Awards—overlooking Cooper Hewitt’s Carnegie Mansion home. The celebrations conclude at the Mansion with our first-ever House Party, which welcomes design lovers and museum friends for music, sweet treats, and encounters with National Design Award winners from the last 25 years.

Book your tickets to this exclusive event: Individual admissions and table sponsorships are now available.

We look forward to celebrating the National Design Award winners with you!

Please note: Book your ticket or sponsorship by Monday, March 17 to be included in printed materials.

Can’t join us in person? Make a contribution in honor of the award winners. All proceeds from the National Design Awards support Cooper Hewitt’s mission to share new stories of design vision and to empower new generations through design.
