The International Interior Design Association (IIDA), in partnership with Hospitality Design magazine, announced the winners of the 24th annual IIDA/HD Expo Product Design Awards. Entries were judged virtually by a jury that included HGA Architects and Engineers senior associate Mari Ansera; Perkins&Will senior associate Mike Johnson II; and Alexis Moore, healthcare designer at Gresham Smith.
“Our ability to conceive, plan, and create products that support high performance emphasizes design’s significance in building humility and unification in the hospitality industry,” says IIDA executive vice president and CEO Cheryl S. Durst. “The winners of this year’s competition demonstrate prudence in the face of the rapidly changing needs of the hospitality industry. Their products are timely, sustainable, and most importantly, human-centered.”
