NEW LONDON, N.C. — The American Society of Furniture Designers is accepting nominations for this year’s Pinnacle Awards for furniture design.

Furniture designer Katie Hatch is ASFD vice president and chair of the 2009 Pinnacles.
“I strongly believe that through support of innovative design we can make breakthroughs similar to the iPod,” said Hatch. “The Pinnacle Awards really celebrate and promote companies that strive for this kind of innovation.”
Furniture/Today is the major underwriter of the awards. Additional support and sponsorship is generously provided by Akzo Nobel, Appalachian Hardwoods, Elmo Leather, Furniture Design Studios, Häfele America, High Point Market Authority, Home Lighting and Accessories, Hickory Springs Mfg., Home Furnishings Business, the International Home Furnishings Center and Leggett & Platt.

The Pinnacle Design Achievement awards were created in April 1995 by the ASFD’s board to promote better design quality and encourage the recognition of furniture designers within the retail home furnishings industry. The awards are intended to celebrate designs that are produced in large numbers for sale to customers through stores.
We would love your feedback!
