Established in 1953, iF Design Awards are recognized as one of the most prestigious awards within the field of design. This year's awards honored outstanding design achievements across five disciplines: product, packaging, communication, interior architecture, and professional concept design.
Canon won its first iF Product Design Award in 1989 for an office copying machine and, since that time, has been awarded for a wide range of products, including cameras, video camcorders and copying machines. This year marks Canon's 21st consecutive year of winning iF Design Awards. Encouraged by the recognition of the Company's design excellence, Canon will continue striving to realize products that combine the highest levels of performance and design.
