The New Zealand Society of Industrial Designers, known as NZSID, formed in 1959, was a professional body for designers in New Zealand. Its membership was multi-disciplinary, representing designers in all branches of design for industry—interior, product, furniture, graphic, packaging, exhibition, apparel, design education, design management...[3][2] It was rebranded New Zealand Society of Designers (NZSD) and reconstituted on 28 May 1988 with a full-time office, the Designers Secretariat, from 1 August, and The Best New Zealand Graphic Design Awards scheme from 1 October.[4]: 286–287
The Society merged with the New Zealand Association of Interior Designers (NZAID) to form a new society, the Designers Institute of New Zealand (DINZ), in April 1991, which was incorporated on 23 August 1991.[4]: 288 NZSID and NZAID were formally dissolved as incorporated societies on 11 August and 10 October 2000 respectively.[5]
