Each year, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) chooses its favorite products. Here are some of the top picks from this year. Good product design has the power to redefine the way we interact with the world.
That can mean presenting a new, more efficient way to cook dinner or changing the way parents interact with a sick child.
In that spirit, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) picked 77 finalists for its 2017 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) earlier this year.
The distinction was given to designers and concepts that achieved excellence in product design in 2017. Of the finalists, 25 were given “gold honors” and the remaining 52 were given silver.
Here are some of the best designs from around the world this year.
