Good Design Award (Chicago Athenaeum)
The Good Design Awards for industrial design are awarded annually in various categories by the non-profit organization Chicago Athenaeum since 1996. All products and graphics submitted must be designed, in production or manufactured for at least two years before the contest title year. In 2012, more than 700 of these awards were awarded.
History[edit]
The award was initiated in 1950 by Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen and Edgar Kaufmann Jr., and ran until 1956 or 1957.[1] The competition did not run again until 1990, when it was revived.[1]
The current annual Good Design Awards are organized by Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, Museum President and CEO of The Chicago Athenaeum. Since 1992, the Chicago Athenaeum has filed a number of trademarks for the typed phrase ″Good Design″ and for the same phrase in a white circle superimposed on a black square. Most of the trademarks have expired.[2] One trademark is still registered to the Chicago Athenaeum in Galena, IL.[3]
In 2009, the Green Good Design Awards began providing for a more environment-oriented type of selection of products, organizations and people. For instance, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Architect Stefan Behnisch were awarded.[4] This new award system will follow onto 2010 and beyond. [note 1]
