The awards, the oldest institution about design globally, were established in 1950 and they have been indispensable part of the programme of the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Almost seven decades later after their establishment the organisation of Good Design Awards, joined by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design, is trying to keep this spirit alive all over the world by demonstrating the design excellence. The annual museum programme includes exhibitions in various central places, both in Europe and the USA.
