L. & J.G. Stickley took home the Luxury Bedroom award for their Maidstone Bedroom Collection.
International Society of Furniture Designers (ISFD) announced
the winners of the highly competitive Pinnacle Awards during a gala held at the Centennial Station Arts Center in
High Point on Oct. 28th. A slate of industry notables presented professional and student home furnishings
and textile designers with the prestigious 2024 Pinnacle
Awards. The Pinnacle Awards are the furniture industry’s highest honor, recognizing brilliant designs
created by individuals who envision and craft the pieces that become some of the most sought-after home furnishings
around the world. Their works are produced and marketed by companies large and small, but with a common
denominator—to proudly illustrate that artistry, craft, and innovation are important and desirable in the
consumer marketplace.
“Each year when I see the exceptionally creative pieces that the professional and student furniture and textile
designers enter, I appreciate the daunting task that the judges have in selecting the finalists and ultimately the
winners,” stated David Blair, executive director of ISFD. “Once again, the designers outdid themselves
by submitting pieces and collections that continue to raise the bar in this prominent industry competition and make
winning a highly valued Pinnacle Award an even greater honor.”
Blair continued, “I want to thank all who entered the Pinnacle Awards and all who worked to make our
28th annual competition an outstanding success. A heartfelt thanks is also extended to our keynote
speaker, Bill McLoughlin, for inspiring us with his thoughtful insights. And a special appreciation goes out to the
ISFD board whose driving force was instrumental in creating this popular event. Thank you all!”
