High-end casual furniture producer Castelle has received a 2017 Award for Design Excellence (ADEX) for its Roma deep seating collection and Fire and Ice fire pit. The popular transitional outdoor furniture collection was honored with a Platinum ADEX award.
The company said the Roma collection has drawn the attention of retailers nationwide since its initial introduction in September 2016. The collection exudes a farmhouse chic transitional design style that easily coordinates with contemporary or traditional outdoor décor.
The accompanying Fire and Ice fire pit is also constructed of cast and extruded aluminum and offers the consumer the opportunity to enjoy an outside gas fire while chilling drinks in an ice-bucket style opening.
“We are honored to have been once again recognized for this prestigious award,” said Derek Ritzel, president and CEO of Castelle. “With each season, our design team works to bring innovative original designs to market for our customers and their consumers and the Roma is an example of their successful efforts in this area.”
Hosted by Design Journal, an international trade journal for interior designers, ADEX is the largest and most prestigious awards program for product and project design in the A&D industry. Each submission was judged by an anonymous panel of professionals representing a cross section of the design industry. In its 23rd year, each nomination is reviewed prior to judging to correctly categorize the products from over 2,000 nominations received.
