HIGH POINT — To better reflect the full range of products in home furnishings, the International Society of Furniture Designers has divided the Home Office and Occasional Storage segments into Broad Appeal and Luxury categories for the 2025 Pinnacle Awards. Winners will be announced during the fall High Point Market at the annual Pinnacle Awards Gala held on Oct. 27. The deadline to enter is July 31.
“After reviewing the Pinnacle Award entry categories, the ISFD board decided to add Broad Appeal categories for the Home Office and Occasional Storage sections,” said David Blair, ISFD executive director. “This will allow companies that serve consumers at lower price points to be recognized for excellence in design.”
