IFDA SELECTS
BEST IN SHOW at NY NOW!
And, the winners are,
drum roll...
IFDA SELECTS was created to support and promote the design industry by highlighting innovative and creative products to various categories. Eight talents--board members and friends of the IFDA--were hand picked as design spotters and judges in categories that work with their expertise. The judges chose a BEST IN SHOW winner in their category at NY NOW last Sunday. It was a fun and productive morning on opening day. The judges met up early Sunday in the press room, then spread out throughout the show, walked the floor and chose their favorites in their categories. Winners were announced the next morning at the IFDA Color Event at NY NOW.
