Ljubljana (Slovenia) - The Icograda Excellence Award winning  by Gigodesign is just one of the 350 exhibits from 17 different countries on display at BIO 20 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Winners were announced on 5 October at the Fuzine Castle where this year's exhibition is being held.

In selecting this piece for the Icograda Excellence Award, the international jury explained, "The corporate identity programme successfully incorporates a diversity of subsidiary and product identities into a clearly organised and integrated system. Outstanding features are the manner in which colour and shape is used to unify the diversity of brand personalities as well as projecting a common visual language that underpins the organisation's corporate philosophy and personality. The system's flexibility and two and three-dimensional applications show true ingenuity."

Exhibits that received awards in other categories show how communication design solutions are being integrated in overall product development. The refrigerator of the Gorenje Pininfarina kitchen line received the Icsid Design Excellence Award and the jury made note of the integrated touch screen interface.

The BEDA European Design Award went to the Brachia Olive bottle. The jury highlighted the integration of the design disciplines in its success. "This original hand made packaging solution reflects the personality of the brand as well as the premium quality of the product. The success of this design solution lies in the clever integration of its product design, branding and communication properties. The product is also differentiated from others in the marketplace due to its reusability as a decorative and functional object."

"Those who will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition will have a broad view of what design means, and how design effects every single aspect of our daily lives. Design is not just about embellishing objects. Design helps to solve human challenges and needs. Design means experimentation and taking risks." says Francisco Carrera, President of International Jury BIO 20.

The international jury included: Judit Varhelyi (Icsid, Hungary), Julia Chiu (Japan), Jacques Lange (Icograda, South Africa), Massimo Pitis (Italy, BEDA), Francisco Carrera (Spain).

BIO20 is endorsed by Icograda, Icsid and BEDA.
