Of the Benjamin Moore booth, the jury panel said, “This was a hard decision, because there were many outstanding booths to choose from. Benjamin Moore stood out for its exceptional design concept, consumer-friendly appeal and overall memorable installation.”
On Zavar Design, winner of the Best Innovation Design Award, ASID said, “The installation illustrated the brand’s core mission, displaying materials in a very interesting way to showcase functional products that combine design and technology.” Sustainability winner JM Lifestyles, noted for its WoodForm Central Park table with mini-ecosystem on top, “succeeded in bringing the look, feel and warmth of nature into a healthy environment for consumer use.”
