LAPOD Lap Desk Wins Gold In The 2021 Good Design Awards
Very humbled, proud and happy to announce that LAPOD Lap Desk was recognised in Australia’s International Good Design Awards for Design Excellence this year.
We often receive supportive messages from LAPOD users along the lines of 'not sure how I lived without it before,' or that it's an 'absolute game-changer.' It is this regular feedback from our community that is the heartfelt gold we carry with us always - recognition that through design we are helping people simplify and organise their lives. What could be better than that!
However, we had to laugh as in true pandemic fashion there was not only no IRL awards night event (so luckily no getting stuck at the VIC/NSW border crossing) but also because of lockdowns/ restrictions and hence supply shortages, the physical trophies and certificates could not be completed in time for the announcements. We can relate. And sympathise. So as we are getting good at making-do in these times, we have taken the liberty of 'borrowing' the gold trophy in this post, which we found here. Promise to post a selfie when the real deal trophy arrives in the mail.
LAPOD received a prestigious Good Design Award Gold Accolade in the Product Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation. Gold Winners represent design that exceed the Good Design Award selection criteria and as noted by GDA is "a significant achievement considering the high number of submissions and incredible calibre of projects represented in this year’s Awards."
“An innovative and simple solution that ticks all the boxes, while still being an environmentally friendly option. It's a nicely designed item with a clean and simple aesthetic. The concept is quite compelling too.”
We would sincerely like to thank the Good Design Awards and jury for this recognition.
And for making our day!
