Welcome to our HD Awards issue, where we showcase
the winners and fi nalists from our annual awards competition.
And it is a doozy! In fact, we had the largest number of
entries-more than 1,100-in the program's 18-year history and
the following pages showcase close to 200 products and projects
(pages 55 and 71, respectively). It's an impressive look at the
amazing work happening in our industry today.
As Kathryn Greene, our products editor says: " When
selecting fi nalists, many of the judges' decisions hinged on
the smallest details, exemplifying the abundance of ingenuity
in hospitality. It's thrilling to see how designers continue to
push the boundaries of product design, taking the industry to
new places whether it's through a sustainable manufacturing
process or the use of unexpected materials. "
As Alissa Ponchione, our executive editor and HD Awards project manager, says: " With
more than 800 submissions to look through, our judges had the unenviable task of narrowing
down their selections to the 131 winners and fi nalists in these pages. You'll fi nd an eclectic
mix, one that recognizes the allure of maximalism and the soothing eff ect of stripped-back
minimalism-all woven together by compelling design narratives. "
It was an honor to celebrate all the fi nalists and reveal the winners on June 7th at Cipriani
South Street in New York, where we also fêted our hotelier of the year, Sharan Pasricha of
Ennismore/Accor (read about why we chose him on page 30); design fi rm of the year, KTGY
Simeone Deary Design Group (see our profi le on principals Gina Deary and Lisa Simeone on
page 32); and our second annual HDAC Awards of Excellence winner (fi nd out more about Jason
Bass on page 34). Special thanks to our sponsors for making the ceremony a reality: Interiors
from Spain, Tarkett Hospitality, Williams-Sonoma/West Elm, Daltile, Durkan, Yellow Goat
Design, Valley Forge Fabrics, Summa International, Bermanfalk, Cortina Leathers, Furniture
Atelier, and Majestic Mirror/Lighting. (Check our Instagram and future issues for photos from
that amazing night.)
We aren't done giving out awards though. Save the date for our Platinum Circle Gala on
November 11th at Gotham Hall in New York. I hope you can join me in celebrating our incredible
2022 Platinum Circle honorees for their lifetime achievements: Barbara Parker and Miriam
Torres, Parker-Torres Design; Neil Jacobs, Six Senses; Sheila Johnson, Salamander Hotels &
Resorts; Ken Fulk, Ken Fulk Inc.; and Ronnie Bray and Elisa Whaler, Bray Whaler. It's been
called the party of the year, and one not to miss (plus, it kicks off BDNY). Tickets will go on sale
in July at hdplatinumcircle.com.
It has been a crazy few months here at HD (and in the world), and with summer around the
corner, I hope you all can fi nd some time to disconnect and recharge.
