The Australian International Design Awards attracts some of the most innovative and groundbreaking products in the world, and has done so for more than 50 years. Originally established in 1958, the Australian International Design Awards is highly respected for the important role it plays in championing innovation and fostering a culture of creativity and competitiveness among businesses. The products featured in this Yearbook are not only fine examples of great design, they illustrate just how important investment in professional design is to achieve commercial success. These businesses have put their products up to be judged against the world’s best. They understand the importance of harnessing the power of design to help distinguish their products and services from their competitors. These are businesses that are driven by design. On behalf of our expert judging panel which meticulously assessed each product, my sincere congratulations to the designers behind these businesses and the fine products they have created. Your commitment to good design not only sets an example for others to follow, it continually raises the bar to do things better, by design.

Ei Makes Product Design Look Easy
Design Mark Winner 2010
Making installation, operation and maintenance of a Saltwater Chlorination device the easiest it can possibly be for the pool owner certainly isn’t an easy design brief. But the resulting Zodiac Ei Saltwater Chlorinator, with its many built in features that make the entire process from unpacking the box to enjoying a perfect pool, has achieved just that: ▲
The world’s only inline chlorine generator for residential swimming pools that requires no plumbing to install
▲
A DIY patented seal and clamping system that fits to most common pipes in just a few minutes
▲
Using the process of electrolysis to create chlorine all that’s needed is to add salt to the pool and in 15 minutes a healthy saltwater pool will be ready to be enjoyed

architectural gate hardware Innovative Hinge for glass gates
D&D Technologies is proud to have won a 2010 Australian Design Mark® for its innovative Vizage™ Glass Gate Hinge. At last there is a gate hinge designed especially for glass gates. The Vizage™ Hinge marks a new era in stylish, architectural-quality gate hinges.

Made of tough, engineering-grade polymers and zirconium-protected leaf covers, this remarkable hinge is guaranteed against rust, binding, sagging, staining and chipping. D&D’s patented self-closing (tension) adjustment can be made from either end of the hinge, and each pair of hinges closes gates weighing up to 25kg. The Vizage™ range comes from the designers of the world-famous MagnaLatch® Child Safety Gate Hinge, D&D Technologies, proud holders of three Australian Design Awards and two Australian Design Marks.
