About NY Product Design Awards
The NY Product Design Awards was established with the purpose to honor and recognize product designers who contribute to the advancement of the field, regardless if the results are incremental or completely revolutionary.
A well-thought-out design is not just functional, but it can be aesthetically pleasing as well. To then take it a step further, and include provisions for what the future may hold, makes a design truly remarkable. Going beyond provisioning for the current era, and paving a path for future possibilities, that is what sets excellent designers apart.
