New York Spaces magazine’s first-ever Spring Into Design program, presented by Benjamin Moore CENTURY, unfolded on May 1, revealing the winners of the inaugural Leaders in Home Products Design Awards.
The magazine’s editors nominated about 250 firms and individuals across 10 categories; then thousands of designers, luxury homeowners, local style devotees, and readers of New York Spaces and NewYorkSpaces.com voted on the nominees to narrow the field to five finalists in each category. Finally, a panel of eight industry stars—Joshua McHugh, Louise Phillips Forbes, Martin Kesselman, Janice Langrall, Bruce Tilley, John Barman, Gisue Hariri and Matthew White—met to choose the final winners.
The winners include:
