The winners of Australia's Good Design Awards, the highest honour for design innovation in Australia, were announced at the Sydney Opera House on 17 May at the 60th Annual Good Design Awards Ceremony.
Nail Snail® - Baby Nail Trimmer received a prestigious Good Design Award® Winner in the Product Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation.
“Such a great departure from the most usual solutions in this space. Strong use case seems like it would be effective and easy to use. The metaphor of a snail is fresh and inviting and offers a great way to cut children's finger nails without scaring them off or causing injury." — Good Design Awards Jury
