The 10 companies were selected after online voting in August among ICFA’s membership, and the winner will be announced at the ICFA Awards Gala on Thursday, Sept. 14 during Casual Market Chicago.

The finalists are: Brown Jordan, Castelle, Gensun Casual Living, Gloster Furniture, Jensen Leisure Furniture, Lloyd Flanders, O.W. Lee, Telescope Casual Furniture, Treasure Garden and Tropitone Furniture.

ICFA Executive Director Jackie Hirschhaut said the finalists were selected based on the overall design and quality of their products, along with their merchandising, customer service, ethics, communications and trade relations.

“Voter participation among ICFA members for the top manufacturers was very strong,” Hirschhaut said.

During the awards gala, top retail stores, manufacturers and sales representatives, and products receiving the industry’s Design Excellence Awards will be spotlighted. In addition, two Lilly Awards for Outdoor Furniture and Outdoor Accents will be presented, plus the Lillian B. Winchester “Best of Show” design award.
