You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.212.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:38, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Good Design exhibition series''' was an industrial design program organized by the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (MoMA) in New York, in cooperation with the [[Merchandise Mart]] in Chicago, held between 1950 and 1955. No awards were granted to designers whose work was put on view in these exhibitions, despite misinformation suggesting otherwise. 
== History ==
The exhibition series ''Good Design'' was spearheaded by [[Edgar Kaufmann, Jr.]],<ref>Wendy Kaplan: ''California Design, 1930-1965 : Living In a Modern Way''. MIT press, 2011, pg 295.</ref> who was then director of the Industrial Design Department of MOMA. Predecessors to this series were two other exhibition series on modernist design, including a series that began with ''Useful Objects Under $5'' (later the maximum price climbed to $10 and eventually $100), the other a series of international design competitions.<ref name="Kimmelmann">Michael Kimmelman: ''[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/06/arts/design/moma-good-design.html Celebrating ‘Good Design’ at MoMA: The Nut Dish and Other Populist Gems]''. In: ''New York Times'', 6 June 2019.</ref> An agreement to launch the ''Good Design'' exhibition series was struck between [[Rene d'Harnoncourt]], director of MoMA, and Wallace O. Ollman, general manager of the Merchandise Mart.<ref>Arthur J. Pulos: ''The American Design Adventure, 1940-1975''. MIT Press, 1988, [https://books.google.com/books?id=MAlz-7XgpjwC&pg=PA110 pg. 110].</ref> ''Good Design'' had five editions:

The Museum of Modern Art developed a circular ''Good Design'' tag, designed by [[Morton Goldsholl Associates|Morton and Millie Goldsholl]] of Chicago, which manufacturers of products chosen for exhibition could use in advertising and sales. Critic [[Michael Kimmelman]] of the [[New York Times]] called this tag a "version of the [[Good Housekeeping|Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval]]", and compared it to efforts of similar institutions like [[Victoria and Albert Museum|V&A]] in the UK or [[Bauhaus]] in Germany in promoting modernist design.<ref name="Kimmelmann" />

Since 1996, the Good Design award selection has been organized by the [[Chicago Athenaeum]].<ref>((Cite web |title=The Good Design Awards |url=https://www.good-designawards.com/about.html |access-date=2022-11-20 |website=www.good-designawards.com))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=The Chicago Athenaeum |url=https://www.chi-athenaeum.org/ |access-date=2022-11-20 |website=www.chi-athenaeum.org))</ref>

MoMA has staged retrospective exhibitions called ''What Was Good Design''<ref>''What Was Good Design? MoMA’s Message, 1944–56''. Exhibition  held at MoMA from 6 May 2009 to 10 January 2011. ([https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/957 Archive])</ref> (2011) and ''The Value of Good Design''<ref>''The Value of Good Design'', Exhibition held at MoMA from 10 February to 15 June 2019. ([https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/5032 Archive])</ref> (2019).<ref name="Kimmelmann" />

The [[Japan Institute of Design Promotion]] also sponsors an annual [[Good Design Award (Japan)|Good Design Award]] which is unrelated to the American award.
