GOOD DESIGN Award 2010

A long list of winners of the 2010 GOOD DESIGN Award was recently announced by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design together with The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. Founded in Chicago in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., GOOD DESIGN bestows international recognition upon the world's most prominent designers and manufacturers for advancing new, visionary, and innovative product concepts, invention and originality, and for stretching the envelope beyond what is considered ordinary product and consumer design.

A total of over 500 Awards were given in late December of 2010 by a New York jury, representing the work of thousands of designers and manufacturers in fields like Electronics, Medical, Robotics/Bionics, Textiles, Transportation, all the way to Children's Products, Tools, and Graphics/Identity/Packaging.
