Cooper-Hewitt People's Design Awards

As part this year's National Design Awards, the Cooper-Hewitt was accepting nominations for the People's Design Award where members of the public could nominate and vote for their favorite designs.  Nominees include the usual suspects like the iPod and the Mini Cooper but they also some great nominations for the wheel, the umbrella, duct tape, air bags and playing cards.  That is my kind of design contest!  Check out all the nomination on at the Cooper-Hewitt site.
