1stDibs, the leading marketplace for extraordinary design, has announced this year’s 1stDibs 50. This esteemed list spotlights 50 of the most talented designers globally — today's design visionaries whose impeccable taste, unrivaled creativity and expert curation of art, objects and furniture elevates interiors into works of art.
Selected from a network of more than 64,000 international design firms, the 1stDibs 50 honors top designers and has become a coveted distinction in the design industry. The 2023 list features a diverse group of talent, with woman-owned businesses accounting for half of the honorees, and 12 firms completely new to the list this year. Additionally, this year’s list features the return of nine firms that have received this honor for five or more years. The annual award reflects the brand’s commitment to supporting deserving talent and sharing the work of designers with 1stDibs’ international audience of design lovers.
“The members of this year’s 1stDibs 50 represent design at its very best across stylistic and geographic spectrums,although they’re all united in their passion for the beautiful things with which they create their interiors,” said Anthony Barzilay Freund, Editorial Director and Director of Fine Art, 1stDibs. “In 2023, we are privileged to showcase so many women-led firms that are operating at the very peak of the profession. It’s an honor to celebrate them and all our honorees and to share their work with our large and far-ranging audience of design enthusiasts who, in turn, are inspired by this remarkable group’s daring and flair.”
The honorees are carefully chosen through a rigorous selection process conducted by the 1stDibs editorial team.
