A panel of judges, consisting of CDG retailer members, evaluated the nominees on originality, creativity, consumer appeal, use of materials, functionality, and manufacturing execution. The winnerwill be announced in December at the group’s annual conference.
“It’s a great marketing opportunity for anyone creating great new pieces to promote their designs to the modern furniture shopper,” said CDG’s executive director Alicia Mendez. “Getting additional exposure at High Point Market, when you have a chance to get buyers to your showroom is an obvious plus.”
