Launched in 2003, the ELLE DECO INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS or EDIDA is a unique international event where the 25 Editors in Chief of the ELLE DECORATION international network gather to award global excellence in design in 15 categories.

The annual EDIDA cocktail takes place in Milano during the Salone del Mobile, the world’s leading furniture fair, an unmissable event for the interior design world. The Award ceremony traditionally takes place during the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the world’s leading furniture fair. Generally, the event is held in a different location of the city every year. It gathers the editors-in-chief of ELLE DECORATION editions worldwide who reward the winners of the year in the presence of major actors of the international design community. Some of the world’s most renowned designers have received EDIDA awards. The winners are announced in the ELLE DECORATION editions around the world.
HOW ARE THE EDIDA WINNERS SELECTED?
Every edition of ELLE DECORATION independently puts forward its suggestions across 15 categories, from fabrics and flooring to furniture, kitchens, and bathrooms. Then, from this massive global shortlist, each Editor in Chief nominates their preferred winners. The votes are collated at the Paris headquarters of ELLE Decoration International, and the winners announced during Milan’s Salone del Mobile furniture fair. In addition to the international EDIDA, some of the editions also organize local EDIDA events in their respective countries – each one with its specific selection process and event format.
