SO WHO WON THE VERANDA ART OF DESIGN AWARDS?
What is the best in design that will stand the test of time? With so few magazines doing designer lists it is nice when creatives get honored through other platforms. One such way to award industry luminaries as Veranda Magazine is doing. Honoring design industry trailblazers whose work is both "innovative and timeless", Veranda and their new editor in chief Dara Caponigro selected and recently announced the winners of their second annual Art of Design Awards. Categories considered were fabric design, architecture, accessories/furniture, garden design, and jewelry design.
A vast group of more than 100 candidates were nominated by leaders in the worlds of decoration and design. The judging panel included fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, designers Rose Tarlow and Holly Hunt, architect Peter Pennoyer, author Carolyne Roehm, and David McFadden, chief curator of the Museum of Arts and Design.
And the winners are:
