The Ralph Saltzman Prize 2025
Returning to the Design Museum for its fourth year, The Ralph Saltzman Prize celebrates emerging product designers, in recognition of Saltzman鈥檚 design legacy.
Created by Lisa Saltzman on behalf of the Saltzman Family Foundation, The Ralph Saltzman Prize reflects the Design Museum鈥檚 overarching commitment to champion new talent and nurture the development of a vibrant design sector.
Designer Mac Collins was selected as the inaugural winner in 2022, Marco Campardo was the second recipient in 2023, and Attua Aparicio was awarded the 2024 prize.
The shortlist for this year鈥檚 Saltzman Prize includes designers from across Europe and is made up of Ella Bulley, Johanna Seelemann, Lulu Harrison, Samy Rio and Sarah Brunnhuber. All are nominated for projects that explore material properties and innovate around different manufacturing techniques.
Each nominee was selected by the Design Museum鈥檚 curatorial team and presented to a selection panel including the museum鈥檚 directorate and members of the Curatorial Committee.
Nominees are selected according to certain criteria, including how their practices explore new directions for design, either by supporting the green transition through technical innovation or by presenting compelling design ideas, and whether they have established their own design practices within the past five years.
The work of the five shortlisted nominees have been presented鈥痶o an international jury made up of Konstantin Grcic (industrial designer), Seetal Solanki (material designer), Stephen Burks (artist and designer) and Michelle Ogundehin (design journalist and author), along with Mr Saltzman鈥檚 daughter, Lisa Saltzman.
This year's winner will receive a 拢10,000 bursary to support their work, which will be displayed at the museum from 24 June until August 2025.
