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.
