Foreword

It is with great pleasure that I honour the inaugural year of the Australian International Design Awards under the custodianship of Good Design Australia.

Recognised as one of the world’s most prestigious design assessment programs, the Australian International Design Awards promotes excellence in design, creativity and innovation, and plays a significant role in promoting professional design in Australia and internationally.

More importantly, the Awards tell the story of how design is used to create better products and services and how it can be an agent for change helping to shape our society, our economy and our wonderful environment.

My sincere congratulations go to all the Finalists in this year’s Awards. You have helped raise the benchmark for design excellence and are an inspiring example for others to follow.

I am delighted to support the work of Good Design Australia and its endeavour to promote the importance of good design through recognition and awards.

His Excellency Michael Bryce, AM, AE, lFRAIA, lFDIA Patron

Good Design Australia is proud to present the Australian International Design Awards, one of the longest standing and most prestigious design awards in the world. With a proud heritage dating back to the Industrial Design council of Australia established in 1958, the Australian International Design Awards is recognised as Australia’s peak design endorsement scheme and maintains one of the most rigorous product assessment processes around.

In Good Design Australia’s first year of establishment, the 2011 Australian International Design Awards attracted a record 325 entries across nine categories including student design. Eligible entries were assessed by multi-disciplinary panels of Australian and international design experts. Judges physically tested the entries and ranked the design merits of each against a common set of criteria including form, function, quality, safety, sustainability, innovation and best in class design.

Winners in the 2011 Australian International Design Awards are the result of unwavering dedication to good design and highlight the importance of placing professional design at the heart of innovation and creativity.

Judging and Process

BEHIND tHE ScENES At tHE DESIGN AWARDS

“comparing a toaster, a playground and a swag is tough, but spirited discussion among the judges confirmed that the principles of design apply universally: usability, honesty, reliability, quality, sustainability, aesthetic, scale, etcetera.

A great product does not trade off one principle for another, it transcends them and creates a whole that evokes a sense of ‘this is the only way this could possibly be’.

We see companies of all sizes waking up to the power of industrial design, its ability to give them a long term competitive advantage, generating higher profits and increasing market share by gracefully satisfying people’s needs.”

oliver kratzer ideal induStrial Judge, ConSuMer Panel

“I think the standard of design and manufacture has risen noticeably over the past 10 years. As an example, the ‘Eona’ table system this year was a re-submission responding to earlier jury critique. As a result of the substantial improvements made, it was given a Design Award this time.

It’s also great to see environmental responsibility as a requirement – all entries promoted their achievements in this area. For instance caroma’s simple and elegant water-saving shower head was a category Winner and independent testing of the ‘Aeratron’ ceiling fan has shown it to be the world’s most efficient.

I think the Australian International Design Awards demonstrate that things are going the right way in design.”

neil Burley, aniBou Judge, arChiteCture/interior/houSing Panel
