Answer 1

If it doesn't matter which one, you can always take the maximum\\minimum one:

SELECT design,type,max(ID)
FROM YourTable
GROUP BY design,type

This won't be randomly, it will always take the maximum\\minimum one but it doesn't seems like it matters.

Answer 2

Try this one:

select *
from (
select *, row_number() over (partition by Design,Type order by id desc) rowID
from @tab
) x
where rowID = 1

Answer 3

Hope this one helps you :

WITH CTE AS
(
    SELECT Design, Type, ID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Design, 
                                                   Type ORDER BY id DESC) rid
    FROM table
)
SELECT Design, Type, ID FROM CTE WHERE rid = 1 ORDER BY ID
