The Australian company, Specialised Solutions, recently picked up one of the coveted Good Design Awards in the Furniture & Lighting category for its Sedi Connect Solar bench. These awards are presented annually by the Australian Design Council whose Good Design Awards program is one of the oldest and most prestigious international design awards in the world, promoting excellence in design and innovation since 1958. It is recognised by the World Design Organization (WDO) as Australia’s peak international design endorsement program.
Winners of the awards are able to use the green ‘Good Design Tick’ mark which is among the most respected and recognised international design endorsement symbols in the industry.
The Good Design Tick of approval is a visible indicator of good design and a brand’s commitment to excellence in design and innovation. It assures consumers that a product, project or service displaying the Tick has been professionally designed to the highest standards and put through rigorous testing by an independent panel of design experts using a comprehensive evaluation process.
The solar products under the Specialized Solutions ‘Sedi’ label were created from the desire to bring technological advancement to the public realm, in a self-efficient furniture form that inspires and intrigues. Sedi products are the manifestation of this ideal - with responsive designs that represent a new level of comfort, amenity, connectivity and sustainability in a piece of standalone urban furniture.
