What an incredible few days at the PAID Summit 2026! 🌍✨ As a proud partner of the summit, the AIDA Awards was honored to be part of these important conversations shaping the creative industry today and tomorrow.
Last week, the global design community came together for three inspiring days of conversation, collaboration, and powerful exchange at the summit. Hosted by Light Design Lab, the event proved just how impactful virtual gatherings can be — with an incredible response from designers, architects, educators, and creative leaders across Africa and the diaspora.
One of the highlights was hearing from our very own Astrid Hébert, Co-Founder & Director of 3C Group GmbH, during her talk on Global Positioning: Telling African Interior Stories, where she explored the importance of creating stronger global recognition for African design voices and creative excellence.
Thank you to everyone who joined, contributed, and shared their perspectives throughout the summit. The discussions sparked over these three days will continue far beyond the event itself. Until the next one!

Take a closer look at The Kabila Collection, created by Terry Aidoo, our 2026 Product Designer of the Year. Together with Festival Divercity, the collection reimagines furniture as a space for connection, community, and shared presence.
Drawing from African cultural memory and the communal courtyard, Kabila turns gathering into the heart of the design itself. Sculptural forms, tactile finishes, and grounded silhouettes bring together contemporary expression and ancestral influence.
Since its debut at Milan Design Week, the collection has received international attention for its cultural depth and powerful storytelling.
Check out his story as he shares the vision behind this award-winning project!

As we built the AIDA Awards from the ground up, there was no one more fitting to lead our very first jury than Bibi Seck. A true force in the design world, he continues to inspire generations of creatives across Africa and beyond through his work, vision, and influence.
His words capture something we have felt since launching this inaugural edition: African design is entering a powerful new chapter. Across the continent, creatives are shaping work that is thoughtful, rooted, innovative, and deeply connected to the realities and cultures that inspire it. Just as important is the responsibility to uplift the next generation and create space for their voices to grow.
As we celebrate our first winners, we also celebrate the people helping pave the way forward. 🌍
