JUDGES COMMENTS
“We were extremely impressed by the originality and quality of entries this year. This is evident by our ability to present a top-ten 'finalist' selection without compromise.
The award continues to attract and challenge the best and brightest designers, producing innovative, practical product ideas. We commend their desire to make our world a little less predictable, rather, a more stimulating place where form and function ignites the senses through powerful simplicity and ingenuity.
We congratulate all participants for their passion, persistence and inventiveness.”
