Message from Judging Committee Chair


 
Design connects objects and people.
No matter how good the product is, it cannot obtain support from people if it does not appeal to people's mind. The higher the product's performance is, it has to express its high performance inside to deliver the goal of the product to people's minds.
The latest designs from various fields gather here once a year. You would be able to see a front line of design in this event such as daily commodities, landscape, traditional craftsmanship, and advanced technology.
This year is a special year. An economical crisis is changing the social situation in various aspects. Many companies are seeking for the next age in a difficult situation. This year, Good Design Award received as many applications as usual years. Design is becoming widespread in industry and culture of this country.
Eagerness of applicants that it is necessary to tell goodness of the products for consumers in such an age is presented in their entry items firmly.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could feel the energetic messages from the exhibited items.
