CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (March 1, 2024) — Founded in Chicago in 1950 by Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, and MoMA curator Edgar J. Kaufmann Jr., GOOD DESIGN® is internationally recognized as the ultimate, global symbol for design excellence worldwide. The exhibition and Gala events take place at The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies (74 Mitropoleos Street) in Athens opening on March 15 and continuing through May 12, 2024.
GOOD DESIGN, first awarded in 1950, is the oldest competition of its kind and the most internationally sought-after seals of quality for design excellence.
Considered as the most coveted and prestigious award in the world, the GOOD DESIGN is synonymous with design superiority and is recognized by industry professionals as a certificate of quality design. The annual competition is curated by the Finnish/Lithuanian/American architecture and design critic Christian Narkiewicz-Laine who also serves as the President of The Chicago Athenaeum.
In 2023, hundreds of submissions were received by the Museum for product and environmental designs and graphics and packaging launched on the market between January 1, 2021 and June 1, 2023 from over 56
countries.
An international jury of design experts evaluated hundreds of submissions on four key design qualities: product function, aesthetics, ease of use, and responsibility/sustainability—the same criteria written in 1950.
From a short list of over 4,500 submissions, the entries were then judged on nine criteria, including degree of innovation, functionality, formal quality, ergonomics, durability, ecological compatibility, and symbolic and
emotional content.
The final jury selected over 1,200 products and graphics worthy of the GOOD DESIGN Award for electronics, robotics, kitchen and bath products, household goods and appliances, furniture and lighting, medical, transportation, installations, environments, home and office products, personal products, new technologies, floor and wallcovering, fabrics/textiles, architectural building products, recycling, safety and security, tabletop, tools, children and pet products, interactive design and mobile applications, sports and recreational designs, and graphics and packaging as a testament to the exceptional quality of the product design and the GOOD DESIGN SHOW 2024 unwavering commitment of the designers and manufacturers behind them.
The 2023 edition recognized the creative scope and innovation of each submission.
The 73rd GOOD DESIGN jury members included some of the world’s foremost design authorities:
• Emmanuelle Andreani, Principal, [siz'-ix] architectes
• Jon Pickard, Principal, Pickard Chilton
• Kasper Meldgaard, Principal, Says Who ApS

• Renato Benedetti, Principal, Benedetti Architects
• Ross Wimer, Head of Architecture, AECOM
• Tapio Anttila, Principal, Tapio Antilla Design Ltd.
• Treasure Hinds, Partner, Anvil Studios, Inc.
“Winning GOOD DESIGN is a testament to the commitment of designers and manufacturers to create intuitive and easy-to-use products and bold and new innovative solutions for product design,” states curator
Narkiewicz-Laine.
“In keeping with the same spirit of Saarinen and Eames, the 2023 GOOD DESIGN winners overall have set an ever higher, bold standard for sustainability with an extraordinary design sense that is increasingly
sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and contemporary.”
“In this year of the competition, I have been particularly struck by the ingenious creativity shown by the award-winning products. It is really impressive and praiseworthy that there are still designs out there that
can surprise us with their form and functionality.“

“Since its inception, the goal of GOOD DESIGN has always remained to identify and honor the pinnacle of design excellence,” states Narkiewicz-Laine
“It’s inspiring to see signs of more sustainable approaches in design—sustainability as 'the new luxury'— meaning replacing some of old, irrelevant aspirations, with new and meaningful and clear objectives.”
'The GOOD DESIGN Awards sets the benchmark for what a design award represents and has endured 73 years to become a career-defining catalyst for those talented enough to win."
For this 74rd edition of GOOD DESIGN, award winners are honored and celebrated at the “Good Design Show,” which opens at The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies in Athens,
Greece starting March 15 and continuing through May 12, 2024.
