This year’s SOS Awards once again placed the emphasis on innovation and contemporary design, with the nominations in most categories being limited to products launched in the 12 months prior to the voting period. These results celebrate the 17 ‘best in class’ products launched or reviewed in the period from September 2018 through to the end of August 2019.
