The ANDYZ Awards were created in 2015 to recognize exceptional design from interior designers, architects and design students. Interior design projects in residential, commercial and hospitality categories were judged by a panel of ASID board members and by an editorial member from media sponsor Furniture, Lighting and Décor on five main criteria: presentation; innovation/creative use of space; scale and functionality; aesthetics; and overall execution.
Las Vegas Design Center showrooms are open during IMC’s bi-annual Las Vegas Market, the leading home furnishings and gift market in the western U.S., presenting more than 4,300 gift, home décor and furniture resources, allowing for cross-category commerce among these industries. The Summer 2020 Las Vegas Market runs August 30 – September 3, 2020, at World Market Center Las Vegas. For more information, visit www.lasvegasmarket.com.
