The best designed products of 2017

Good product design has the power to redefine the way we interact with the world.

That can mean presenting a new, more efficient way to cook dinner or changing the way parents interact with a sick child.

In that spirit, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) picked 77 finalists for its 2017 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) earlier this year.

The distinction was given to designers and concepts that achieved excellence in product design in 2017. Of the finalists, 25 were given "gold honors" and the remaining 52 were given silver. 

Here are some of the best designs from around the world this year.

GOLD: The VECTRA WB360 3D Whole Body Imaging System is the first machine capable of producing a 360-degree picture of the human body. It has 92 cameras to capture the body's shape and skin conditions — useful information for surgeons and dermatologists.

SILVER: Real Rain uses the same amount of water as a traditional shower, but mimics actual rain with droplets and irregular spacing between bursts of water.

GOLD: Q-Collar helps athletes prone to brain injury, such as football or soccer players, minimize their risk. The collar gently tightens around the neck to reduce the brain's tendency to slosh inside the skull.
