ISFD Celebrates Pinnacle Award Winners at HPMKT Gala
October 28,
2025 by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Industry 
Like an Oscar or a Grammy, an International Society of Furniture Designers (ISFD) Pinnacle Award is one of the highest honors a creative professional can receive. It recognizes brilliant designers who envision and craft pieces that become some of the most sought-after home furnishings worldwide. Their works are produced and marketed by both large and small companies, but with a common goal—to proudly demonstrate that artistry, craft, and innovation are essential drivers of marketplace success. The recipients of this year’s Pinnacle Awards were announced at the annual gala held in the IHFC 11th Floor Ballroom on October 27.
“Winning a Pinnacle Award is indeed a powerful recognition that, in some cases, has been known to advance individuals’ careers and companies' reputations,” stated David Blair, executive director of ISFD. “I want to congratulate everyone who was recognized as our industry’s top design leaders. They are shaping the future of our retail floors and influencing what consumers see and buy. With their help, we will continue to meet the consumer’s demand for great design.”
Here is the official list of winners who were honored with the 2025 Pinnacle Awards trophy.
