ASID Icon - March/April 2009 - (Page 6) OF NOTE/ In Full Bloom ASID HONORS SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS/ IN RECOGNITION OF the increasing demand for high-quality sustainable products, ASID and Interior & Sources magazine (I&S) launched the first ever Bloom Awards this year. The awards, given in five categories—furniture, flooring, textiles, lighting and innovative materials—applaud the achievements of sustainable products in interior commercial design. “Interior designers have been clamoring for more information on how to identify and select green products, and the Bloom Awards distinguish the products that best exemplify sustainability, innovation and performance,” says Robert Nieminen, editor of I&S. The winners were selected by a panel of industry experts, based on a variety of criteria including the extent to which the product is environmentally innovative and aesthetically pleasing, how the product promotes sustainability, materials selection and resource efficiency within the manufacturing process, and recycling and waste management throughout the product’s lifecycle. The winning products will be featured in subsequent issues of ASID ICON and profiled in the March issue of I&S.
