Five Accent on Design exhibitors were recognized this week for design excellence, with awards for product design, overall excellence, best collection and best new designer.
The Winter 2010 Accent on Design award-winners are:
Excellence in Product Design: Areaware (New York, N.Y.) for "Shovel Birdhouse"
Excellence in Product Design: j-me® (London, England) for "Float" magazine rack
Best Collection: Pablo (San Francisco, Calif.) for ambient, hybrid and task lighting
Overall Excellence: Eastern Accent (Sudbury, Mass.)
A+ Best New Designer: Jung-woo Lee of EK DESIGN (Seoul, Korea)
The ‘Best Collection’ winner Pablo Pardo is worth reviewing in more detail. This month as SFMOMA is celebrating its 75th anniversary, the existing museum-store will soon mark ten years since the store doubled in size expanding to 6,000 ft. sq. With that was a decision to showcase furniture and lighting and Pablo was the featured lighting designer.
For this award his designs were recognized for ambient, hybrid and task lighting. The collection, which is both innovative and traditional, includes LED task lighting and energy-rated incandescent or halogen ambient lighting. The judges recognized Pablo’s high design, quality and technology in a diverse line of lighting.
