GOOD DESIGN Show 2020 Tell a friend
Announcing the exhibition about the legendary program of design and architecture, GOOD DESIGN® SHOW this summer on July 10, in Athens, Greece.
GOOD DESIGN® annually awards distinguishing designers through for excellence, creativity, and novelty; talented creators who promote the design as the art of evolution, the art of a better future. This year, GOOD DESIGN® celebrates its 70th Anniversary with a tribute exhibition entitled "GOOD DESIGN SHOW 2020" in THE EUROPEAN CENTRE, Mitropoleos 74, Athens, Greece, featuring winning products and graphics from the GOOD DESIGN® 2019-2020.
The COVID-19 global crisis caused delays in every sector, including shipping, resulting in many amazing designs still being on their way to our space. Thus, and in order to be able to showcase the wider range of GOOD DESIGN® awarded works possible, we have decided to further extend the opening date and the duration of the show.
The opening will take place on July 10 and the exhibition will last until September 6. In conjunction with GOOD DESIGN® 2020, The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design has announced that this year's Laureate of the prestigious American Prize for Design® is the visionary and prolific American designer, Karim Rashid, whose stunning designs will also be displayed in the show. Under the banner "Build A Better World Now" designs for buildings and products that emphasize the most advanced green approach, product designs and architecture projects were awarded the GREEN GOOD DESIGN®, which will also be featured in the exhibition.
The GOOD DESIGN SHOW 2020, under the auspices of The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies presents Europe's leading designers and manufacturers, and highlights the most innovative designs from advanced electronics and furniture to medical equipment, graphics, and the most exceptional new automobile designs of the year.
