Love for OFS from IIDA

The International Interior Design Association holds frequent competitions for the interior design community to participate in all over the world. Most recently, the IIDA announced its winners for The INDEX & Office Exhibition Product Design Awards, a contest which took place in Dubai last month.

The competition featured products designed for residential and commercial office spaces, which were offered for sale after February of 2012. Categories included applied finishes/materials, free-standing furniture, decorative accessories, flooring, lighting, seating, tables, and textiles - among others. The winning products were selected by a judging panel of design professionals, with a Best of Category winner for each, and two Honorable Mentions in each category. An overall Best of Show winner was then chosen from the category winners.

With a plethora of awesomely deigned products to choose from, the judges gave OFS - one of our favorites - ample praise at the showcase! Eleven won Best of Category in Casegoods/Free-Standing Furniture, while the Madrid chairs won an Honorable Mention in the Seating category!
































How exciting to see some of the products we love being awarded around the world. We're currently enjoying those wonderfully modern Madrid chairs in our own office as well!

Here's a look at some of the other winners from the exhibition:
