At this year’s International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), NKBA, and Aspire teamed up for the Inspire Awards, celebrating the best in furnishings, decor, seating, lighting, booth design, and more. On Sunday May 18, the panel of judges from the NKBA Manhattan NYC Chapter hit the Javits center bright and early in search of the most interesting, innovative, and beautiful products in a wide variety of categories beyond kitchen and bath. Thank you to our media sponsor aspire design and home magazine for collaborating. Read their story here with additional photos of the winners. And, a big thanks to our panel of esteemed judges (L to R above): Hila Sabin, Diana Mosher, Barbara Haberman, Sandra Singh, Felicitas Oefelein, Coco Kanakis, JoAnn Genova, Sami Kelmendi, and Jamie Keel.

The next Inspire Awards is scheduled for opening day of BDNY in November. If you’d like to be a judge, please email Diana Mosher, NKBA Manhattan-NYC Chapter Membership Chair at mosherdiana@gmail.com.
