Croatian design studio Studio Tumpić/Prenc has been ranked among the 50 most awarded design agencies in Europe, according to the newly introduced Agency League by the European Design Awards.
The ranking is based on data collected over the past five years and recognises agencies that have demonstrated consistent creative excellence and international recognition.
The Agency League was launched to mark the 20th anniversary of the European Design Awards, a leading European design festival and competition distinguished by its jury, which is composed of design journalists and critics rather than practitioners.
Over the past two decades, the awards have played a key role in raising professional standards, celebrating creativity and recognising some of Europe’s finest communication design work.
According to the organisers, the Agency League is a data-driven ranking and archival system designed to identify Europe’s most awarded design studios. It functions as a living index, capturing both historical achievements and current creative momentum.
“The Agency League is intended to serve as a public archive of excellence, a historical reference point, and a valuable tool for clients, institutions and fellow professionals,” the European Design Awards stated, adding that it is also a celebration of the wider design community.

Studio Tumpić/Prenc said the recognition came as a welcome surprise.
“To begin the year with such news truly surprised and delighted us. It is a great honour to see our work recognised by the profession and the wider design community, especially considering the dedication, effort and continuity behind every project,” the studio said.
The recognition comes as the studio approaches an important milestone — nearly a decade of operation. Over the past ten years, Studio Tumpić/Prenc has established itself on both the European and global design scene, earning some of the industry’s most respected awards.

In addition to multiple European Design Awards, the studio’s accolades include Cannes Lions, Red Dot: Best of the Best, London International Awards, Golden Drum, and the IIID Award, among many others. These honours reflect not only the studio’s creative vision but also the collaborative work of its team of designers, whose diverse skills contribute to the studio’s consistently high-quality output.
Among the projects that have defined Studio Tumpić/Prenc’s reputation are Famìa, a premium olive oil brand; Franc Arman – “It’s Time for Your Time”; Šuran biodynamic wines; Istriana; and major public projects such as Rovinj–Rovigno City Swimming Pool, Pula–Pola City Pools, and Kappo.
