Cooper-Hewitt Announces Winners of the Seventh Annual National Design AwardsThis fall Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum will celebrate significant achievements in the design world with its annual National Design Awards, now in its seventh year.
Established in 2000 to broaden awareness of the role of design in daily life, the Awards honor individuals in all areas of design, as well its patrons and supporters.
The recipients of the 2006 National Design Awards were announced today by Cooper-Hewitt director Paul Warwick Thompson, and the finalists and winners will be honored at a Gala dinner at Cooper-Hewitt on Oct. 18. Mrs. Laura Bush is the Honorary Patron for this year's National Design Awards.
"Cooper-Hewitt is delighted to once again recognize, through the National Design Awards, some of the greatest contributions to the world of design made in recent years," Thompson said.
"Each year, the Awards grow in scope, and this October we are introducing National Design Week, a new education initiative created to promote better understanding of the role that design plays in all aspects of our lives.
During National Design Week, Cooper-Hewitt will host programs and panel discussions on design, and on our website, we will launch design education content for teachers nationwide."
