CDG Opens Entries for Haimsohn Design Award

April 10, 2017  by Larry Thomas in Industry, Special Events   

A panel of judges, consisting of CDG retailer members, will evaluate nominees on originality, creativity, consumer appeal, use of materials, functionality, and manufacturing execution. The winner and finalists will be announced in December at the group’s annual conference. 

Entries received prior to April 17 will receive signage for use at High Point Market, which begins April 22, and will be promoted by the group.

“It’s a great marketing opportunity for anyone creating great new pieces to promote their designs to the modern furniture shopper,” said CDG’s executive director Alicia Mendez. “Getting additional exposure at High Point Market, when you have a chance to get buyers to your showroom is an obvious plus.”
