Oct 26, 2020, 08:46 ET
HIGH POINT, N.C., Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The coveted 2020 Pinnacle Awards, sponsored by the International Society of Furniture Designers (ISFD), are the furniture industry's highest honor recognizing the top professional and student furniture designers who envision and create the designs that ultimately become some of the most sought-after home furnishings items 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 quite desirable to the consumer marketplace.
The Pinnacle finalists were recognized and the winners revealed on Saturday, October 24 during the Pinnacle Awards' Great Designs Unmasked, an online TV-style program on ISFD's YouTube channel. Acclaimed interior designer Corey Damen Jenkins keynoted the awards ceremony.
According to John Conrad, ISFD executive director, "The judges commented that selecting just one winner in each of the 20 categories was incredibly difficult. We not only had a record number of entries but the designs from all of the finalists were exceptional this year creating very stiff competition. The designers should all be very proud of their work."
The outstanding award-winning designs can be acquired through home furnishings and décor retailers and from interior design firms across the country. The Pinnacle Awards salute designs that range from incredibly affordable to the luxurious supporting the belief that good design can be found at all price points.
Here is the official list of winners who were honored with the prestigious 2020 Pinnacle Award trophy.
