January 21, 2005—Steelcase Inc. has announced that the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design has awarded its Think chair with a Good Design award.
Founded in 1950, Good Design awards publicly acknowledge the world’s most prestigious industrial design firms and manufacturers. The awards recognize the best and finest new design and design innovation for products and graphics designed and manufactured between 2002 and 2004. The jury of architects, designers, and authorities in the design community selected winners from hundreds of entries from all over the world.
The design of Steelcase’s Think chair was among the 150 products that were awarded this year. The Think chair is a smart, simple and environmentally sustainable seating product that addresses the growing need for mid-priced ergonomic seating.
Created in collaboration with designer Glen Oliver Low, McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry and the Institute of Product Development in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Think chair conforms to the highest environmental standards and raises the bar in cradle-to-cradle design and life-cycle thinking.
