IDEA 2007 Winners SelectedSome of the world's hottest designs, innovative problem-solvers and coolest concepts are among the winners of the 2007 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEASM).
One of two award programs co-sponsored by BusinessWeek magazine and the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), IDEA celebrates design excellence.
Since its inception in 1980, the IDEA awards program has generated worldwide attention from designers, business leaders and consumers as a powerful endorsement of the aesthetics, engineering and usability of winning designs.
Participation has grown steadily, reaching 1,691 entries this year.
IDEA's influence has expanded geographically as well, with 595 entries this year from 29 countries other than the United States.
In 2007, the IDEA jury - a carefully selected group of 18 leading thinkers in the design world - selected 20 entries to receive the coveted Gold award, 19 entries for the Silver award and 42 for the Bronze award in categories as diverse as consumer electronics, housewares, transportation, sporting goods, furniture, and medical and scientific equipment and ecodesign.
IDEA jurors noted several exciting trends among entries and winners of the competition, including greater attention to ecological impact.
