Furniture Excellence Award 2009

Providing a platform to encourage design and for creativity to become a marketable tool, the furniture excellence award honours the best in innovation, aesthetics and functionality. This year, sustainability is included to form part of functionality.

Said Chief Judge, Ian Howard Davies @ Iskandar Abdullar: “The overall standard of entries for the Furniture Excellence Award this year was slightly better than last year. However, there is still a gap between world class design standards and most of the entries”. He continued, “In summary, it is the opinion of the judges that by investing in world class design and innovation, we can take the furniture industry forward, to survive and prosper in the recession, and look forward to a stronger, more profitable future”.
