Accent on Design Awards Best of New York Gift Show

The New York International Gift Fair just wrapped up over at the Javits Center, and the juried Accent on Design division has chosen four winners for outstanding product design and presentation. Exhibitors were judged on innovation, function, originality, and design by a committee that included Miguel Calvo (Design & Research), Judy Dunne (Butter and Eggs), David Reid and James Klein (Kleinreid), Ilene Shaw (Shaw + Co. Productions), and museum consultant Jon Weatherman. “The winners represent the broad scope of design aesthetics — from industrial to artisanal,” said Priscila Onou, manager of the Accent on Design division.
