Good Design Awards Owala, Gridstack, and Life360

The GOOD DESIGN® Awards, presented annually by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, recognize the most innovative and exceptional industrial, product, and graphic designs from around the world. Founded in 1950 by Edgar Kaufmann Jr. and designers like Charles and Ray Eames, the program acknowledges outstanding design across a wide range of industries, from everyday products to large-scale innovations. In 2024, the Museum received a record number of submissions from leading manufacturers and design firms in over 55 countries, highlighting the best in consumer design for sustainability, function, and aesthetic quality.  This year, Whipsaw received three GOOD DESIGN® Awards for Ravenchord, Aescape, and IonQ. These awards highlight the strength of our partnership with Aescape and IonQ, as well as our continued contribution to emerging innovation across the wellness and technology industries.
