– The winners of Australia's peak industry design awards – the highest honour for design and innovation in the country – were announced at The Star on 11 July at the 61st annual Good Design Awards Ceremony.
QuickFix™ technology, by Allegion, received a prestigious Good Design Award Winner Accolade in the Product Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation. The locally developed technology features on the recently released Schlage Form and Schlage Medio Series. It is the latest in almost 100 years of continued innovation featured in Schlage products.
The annual Good Design Awards are Australia’s most prestigious international awards for design and innovation with a proud history dating back to 1958. The Awards celebrate the best new products and services on the Australian market, excellence in architectural design, engineering, fashion, digital and communication design, as well as reward emerging areas of design strategy, social impact and design entrepreneurship.
The Good Design Awards Jury spent several days evaluating each entry according to a strict set of design criteria which covers ‘good design,’ ‘design innovation’ and ‘design impact.’ Projects recognised with a Good Design Award must demonstrate excellence in all areas and convince the Jury they are worthy of recognition.
Dr. Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia, said: “Receiving a Good Design Award at this level is a significant achievement given the very high calibre of entries received this year.”
“Australia’s Good Design Award is more than a symbol of design excellence; it represents the hard work and dedication towards an innovative outcome that will ultimately improve our quality of life. These projects showcase the brilliance of design and the potential it has to improve our world,” said Dr. Gien.
The Good Design Awards Jury praised QuickFix™ technology, by Allegion, commenting: “Quality design details with a balanced aesthetic. It is highly commendable that it is designed with recyclability in mind and the ease of installation and reduction in installation time is the QuickFix's best advantage. Quality product well finished to appeal to high-end market. Patented IP to reduce installation time.”
The Good Design Awards attracted a record number of submissions in 2019, with close to 700 design projects evaluated in this year’s international competition.
