Finalists Announced for 2019 Pinnacle Awards

The International Society of Furniture Designers (ISFD) has announced finalists for the prestigious Pinnacle Awards.

The finalists will be feted and winners will be announced at the 24th Annual International Society of Furniture Designers (ISFD) Pinnacle Awards Gala, set for Monday, October 21 at High Point University’s Congdon School of Health Sciences from 6-9 pm. 

“Now in its 24th year, the annual Pinnacle Awards competition continually attracts more and more talented designers and innovative design concepts each year,” says John Conrad, executive director. “This year we expanded the competition to include 20 furniture, accessory and lighting categories. Plus, we received a record number of entries for the major collections category along with the new luxury dining and luxury bedroom categories.”

The judging panel represents an influential mix of high-profile industry leaders encompassing manufacturing, retailing, education, journalists, designers and home fashions forecasters.  The panel includes Christi Barbour, Barbour Spangle Design; John Gill, Haverty’s; Diane Falvey, Furniture, Lighting & Décor; Jackie Hirschhaut, AHFA; Gary Inman, Baskervill; Adam Kessler, AWFS; Greg Kincaid, Sherwin Williams; Kaitlin Peterson, Business of Home; June Sedlak, Studio J; Dorian Stacy Sims, Stacy Furniture & Design and Patrizia Torelli, Australasian Furniture Association.

The 2019 finalists, all professional product and furniture designers, envision and create the designs that ultimately become some of the most sought-after home furnishings items around the world.  Their works are produced and marketed by companies large and small, but with a common denominator—to proudly illustrate that artistry, craft, and innovation are important and quite saleable to the consumer marketplace.
