HIGH POINT — The International Society of Furniture Designers (ISFD) is set to applaud this year’s winning designs and the designers who created them at the 2025 Pinnacle Awards Gala.
The winners will be announced at the gala, scheduled during the High Point Market on Oct. 27, in the International Home Furnishings Center 11th floor ballroom.
“In addition to learning who the professional and student furniture and textile designer winners of the prestigious Pinnacle Awards will be, we will have everyone’s favorite, John Conrad, ISFD retired, as the emcee and the TV personality Natalie Papier, an interior designer, art curator, author and host of Magnolia Network’s Artfully Designed home renovation show, as the keynote speaker,” said David Blair, executive director. “All of this was made possible by our presenting sponsor Andmore, our panel of industry judges and our category presenters.”
