REAL DESIGN OR DESIGN REALITY? A GLIMPSE OF THE GOOD DESIGN® SHOW 2020.

This year Good Design®, the exhibition and international design prize awarded by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture in a collaboration with The European Centre of Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies and Metropolitan Arts Press, Ltd., passes a milestone of 70 years since its original inception.  Each year Good Design® is juried by distinguished leaders in the design industry who select the awarded products, graphic designs and packaging. Good Design® has become an internationally acknowledged  benchmark and another symbol of outstanding design that serves as a beacon for the audiences who follow design and believe in it - in and out our global economies.

In 2019, over 1000 new products and graphics were selected and awarded from over 50 countries;  from electronics and transportation to medical equipment, furniture and household products - the list is endless. Real design by heavy-weight talents from different ages:  these qualified designers who search to serve the individual of today, the millennial in desperate need of everyday, soluble products more than anything else right now. The visionary design of previous decades give its place to a new era of commodities: this is a period of finding ways to exist, survive, respect the planet and make room for the next generations. The end of the manifestation politcs? Maybe. One thing is certain: technology, cure and hands-on, direct approach are coming up as the essentials of the Good Design world. Active participation is the actual reference and the strongest link between the selected products bellow. Enjoy the view and reflect on it. It is definitely worth it.
