I.D. August 2004: Annual Design Review 2004

Two thousand pieces cascaded into the 2004 competition (including the Student Design Review, which will be published in September/October) . Some of the country's most distinguished designers and critics were stuffed, three by three, into a conference room and tossed a few sweet rolls until they had winnowed a final selection. The jurors were demanding-some might even say pathologically picky. But Adam Tihany, who helped judge the furniture category, articulated his colleagues' high standards when he stated that "an I.D. award sticker...should be so prestigious that it's like being in a museum collection."
