The International Interior Design Association (IIDA) announced
the winners of the 21st annual IIDA/HD Product Design Competition
during HD Expo, held in early May at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Reflecting the latest products for hospitality interiors, the 2017 winners
were chosen based on innovation, technical advancements, cost
efficiency, environmental consciousness, aesthetics, client-user
benefits, and need and usage within the industry. The threeperson jury panel comprised Chris Evans of Rottet Studio, Kellie
Mayfield of Mayfield and Ragni Studio, and Patricia Rotondo of
Antunovich Associates.
MDC took this year's top prize, the Eric Engstrom Best of
Competition award, for its Zintra Acoustic Solutions (1). Available
across a broad spectrum of both colors and applications, Zintra
is crafted to absorb internal and external sounds to reduce overall

noise level within a space. The product also won in the applied finishes
and materials category under wallcoverings and treatments.
Other winners include the Hanging Lounger (2) from Kodama
Zomes, which was honored in the seating: group or series category
for outdoor. Made from double powder coated steel and outdoor
grade polyester webbing, the suspended lounger optimizes comfort
with high-density foam cushions wrapped in Sunbrella upholstery.
Victoria + Albert received recognition in the casegoods and
freestanding furniture category under individual furnishing
items for its Eldon bathtub (3), which was designed by
Conran + Partners. -WILL SPEROS
