by HIGH POINT — This year at the International Society of Furniture Designers Pinnacle Awards “Untamed Minds” Gala held on Monday, Oct. 16, in the Loft at Congdon Yards in High Point, a slate of industry notables presented professional and student home furnishings and textile designers with the prestigious 2023 Pinnacle Awards.
The Pinnacle Awards are among the furniture industry’s highest honors, recognizing brilliant designs created by individuals who envision and craft the pieces that become some of the most sought-after home furnishings around the world. Their works are produced and marketed by companies large and small, but with a common denominator — to proudly illustrate that artistry, craft and innovation are important and quite desirable to the consumer marketplace.
