Eyes on the prize

Article Abstract:

The International Design Prize introduced in 1991 formed part of the efforts of Erwin Teufel, prime minister of the Baden-Wurttemberg region of Germany, to establish a design identity for locally-manufactured products. Numerous German companies that recognise the importance of design in gaining a competitive advantage are based in Baden-Wurttemberg which has a reputation for good design. However the International Design Prize produced no local winners and both it and the region's other major design award scheme, Design Selection, should be more locally focused.
