Paoli Wins Platinum and Gold 2009 ADEX Awards
ORLEANS, INDIANA, April 2009 – Paoli is the recipient of one Platinum and three Gold 2009 ADEX Awards for design excellence. The company’s contemporary Quoin Lounge Seating Series took Platinum, while the R5 management chair, the Overture conference room offering and the Altamont desk series received Gold. According to Design Journal publisher John Moses this year’s competition was the most competitive to date with entries up 22 percent, and an average of 4 products entered by each competing company. “We’re honored to see these products given award status among the many entries in this year’s competition,” said Kent Robbins, vice president, marketing for Paoli. “These ADEX Awards recognize we’re on target with our customer-centered focus in addressing marketplace opportunities with versatile, well-crafted products. The product designers we partner with contribute their insights and expertise toward creating new offerings that meet customer needs and expectations.”
The Platinum-winning Paoli Quoin and Gold-winning Paoli Overture were both designed by Q Design. The Paoli R5 management chair was designed by Bill Raftery of Raftery Design, Inc., and Paoli Altamont was designed by the father and son team at Archetype+, Don and Matt Laughter. ADEX is the largest awards program for product design in furniture, fixtures and finishes marketed to the design trade. Design Journal, the international trade publication for interior designers, architects and facility managers, sponsors the ADEX Awards. Voting was conducted by a panel of professionals representing a cross section of the design industry.
