2006 Best Product Design

BusinessWeek's annual design awards have been ... well, awarded. And the winners are:
  • Design Factories: (1) ZIBA, (2) Formation Design Group, (3) Antenna Design NY, (4) blueMap design, (5) Davison Design & Dev.
  • Business/Schools: (1) Panasonic, (2) Samsung, (3) The Timberland Company, (4) Art Center College of Design, (5) BRP (Bombardier/Learjet)
You can check out the full list of winners from the article. Surprisingly this year, IDEO didn't even make the list of design firms. And on the business side, Apple just fell off the list. Both IDEO and Apple remain high ranking when look at the last five years -- with IDEO being number one and Apple being number two, dropping behind Samsung, who is at the top of the business heap for the last five years.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration.
