“Another big surprise was the adsence of familiar design and innovation consultancies in the winners box...Fresh names such as Atlanta-based Formation Design Group, New York-based blueMap Design, and Munich-based designaffairs did well. There were fewer winners in 2006, just 108, down from 148 last year. There were only 27 golds, vs. 2005’s 38. Clearly, it’s a tougher playing field. There were 995 entries from the U.S., and 499 from 28 other countries. The design game is increasingly global.”
