Australian Good Design Awards 2024: Celebrating the Transformative Impact of Design
Sydney, Friday 20 September 2024 - The 2024 Australian Good Design Awards were unveiled, showcasing the pinnacle of design excellence in a grand ceremony at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney, attended by over 1000 distinguished guests from design, architecture, engineering and business sectors.
This year’s theme, "The Design Effect" underscored the crucial role design plays in shaping better products, services, spaces, and experiences while driving the transition to a more sustainable, less carbon-intensive future.
The Australian Good Design Awards highlighted how design not only enhances functionality and aesthetics but also contributes significantly to business success and societal advancement.
Among the standout winners our 2-in-1 Suction Plate, received a prestigious Good Design Award Winner Accolade in the Product Design category for exceptional design and innovation. The Good Design Awards Jury commented:
"The innovative suction plate for children’s mealtimes showcases thoughtful design that evolves with a child's development. The Jury appreciates the removable divider, mess-free edge, and emphasis on sustainability through recyclability. These features not only address practical mealtime challenges for parents but also contribute to a cleaner environment."
The 2024 Awards highlighted excellence across 12 Design Disciplines, covering more than 32 Categories. The Awards recognise a diverse range of projects from Australia and abroad, encompassing architectural design, engineering, digital and communication design, and emerging fields such as design strategy, social impact and policy design – a new standalone category introduced in 2024. This year's entries were rigorously evaluated by more than 80 distinguished Jurors from around the globe, including designers, engineers, architects, and industry leaders. The evaluation process focused on three core criteria: Good Design, Design Innovation, and Design Impact, ensuring that each winner demonstrated outstanding design quality and effectiveness. The Awards showcase the best in design, reaffirming the critical role design plays in shaping a better, more sustainable future for businesses and society alike.
Rachel Wye, Managing Director of Good Design Australia, remarked, “This year’s Awards reflect the profound ripple effects that exceptional design can have on people, place and planet. The projects honoured in these Awards exemplify how thoughtful design can drive meaningful change, not only enhancing user experiences and the way people interact with the world, but also contributing to a more sustainable and more prosperous future. The Australian Good Design Awards are proud to recognise the truly inspirational work that is being done across different design disciplines, sectors and industries in Australia and overseas.”
