From
a "city to a spoon", GOOD DESIGN annually showcases and awards new
consumer / industrial products and graphic designs that distinguish for
their design excellence, technological innovation, sustainability or
high aesthetic, under the auspices of The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of
Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art
Design and Urban Studies.
The
trademarked and prestigious Awards Program was founded back in 1950 in
Chicago by the former MoMA curator Edgar Kaufmann Jr. and other pioneers
in modern design, such as Charles and Ray Eames, Russel Wright, George
Nelson, and Eero Saarinen. The program was - and has been ever since -
an annual tribute to the achievements of the best industrial and graphic
designers, and world manufacturers, an honorary for their pursuit of
extraordinary design excellence.
Chicago
designer Mort Goldsholl designed the GOOD DESIGN logo the same year the
Program was founded. This distinctive logo is still used globally by
winning companies to publicly announce that their products and designs
have met the most strident and professional criteria, the
highest standards that GOOD DESIGN stands for.
