Under this project, JDP is looking for internationally competitive
products with designs that fully utilize the materials and technologies of
the ASEAN region, as well as the life and cultures that form their
background.
The following product categories are recognized:
(1) Furniture and interior furnishings
(2) Exterior furnishings
(3) Tableware and Everyday Goods
(4) Packaged Food Products |
|
|
The project follows the following three steps: (1) Counterparts in each
country seek applicants from among companies and designers in their
country. (2) 6 Good Design Award jury members from Japan travel to each
country, conduct the screening, and decide which products will receive the
award. Screening in some countries collaborated with local designers as
jury. (3) The award-winning products are brought together for exhibition
and a publicity campaign is conducted.
Entries are judged according to the Good Design Award screening criteria.
Since the main aim of this project is to encourage introduction to the
Japanese market, an additional criterion has been established concerning
the significance of a product entering the Japanese market with the G-Mark
attached.
Interviews are also held with the applicants for all designs being judged,
and the results are communicated either through seminars or one-by-one
discussion. |

|
The circumstances of applications from the ASEAN countries and awards to
their products were as follows:
The standards for submission from the various countries were on a high
level, differing very little from the Good Design Award in Japan. The
companies and designers that submitted entries also displayed remarkable
enthusiasm.
Project activities in Cambodia and Laos for the present fiscal year
consisted solely of introducing Japanese design and holding seminars to
attract participants in the Good Design Award. |
