James Dyson Awards

“Design is not just about how something looks, but how it works. I don’t see a difference between a designer and an engineer, and I don’t want to see a difference. A designer should be both,” James Dyson.

“Australian Design Award – James Dyson Award (ADA-JDA) highlights projects from tertiary students of design in Australia most closely aligned with Dyson’s philosophy of complete design – meaning that a product should not only look good but also use innovation and technology to provide significant advantages over the product it replaces”
