The Designed in Saudi Initiative was launched by the Architecture and Design Commission of the Ministry of Culture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on June 5, 2023. It is part of the implementation framework of the commission's strategy aimed at supporting the architecture and design arts sector. The initiative focuses on supporting local products by creating a trademark that signifies the product's compliance with specific standards and specifications, thereby increasing consumer confidence and contributing to the growth of the architecture and design arts sector.

Objectives of Designed in Saudi initiative

The Designed in Saudi initiative aims to support local designers by creating a seal that signifies product excellence, establishing productive partnerships and relationships, and creating opportunities for growth and development within the architecture and design arts sector. Additionally, it seeks to provide platforms for showcasing Saudi designs, increase the popularity of Saudi design both locally and internationally, and enhance the quality of design outputs.

The seal of the Designed in Saudi initiative

The Designed in Saudi initiative is working on creating a unique seal that highlights the excellence of local products, along with a trademark that indicates the product's adherence to pre-defined specifications and standards. This aids in promoting Saudi products both locally and internationally. Additionally, the initiative offers financial incentives, such as tax exemptions on products certified with the seal, and facilitates access to discounted prices from suppliers for certified products.

The Architecture and Design Commission has identified various sub-sectors for the application of the seal, including the furniture design sector, and designs encompassing daily products, such as home decor, home textiles, tableware, technology design, and automobile design.
