These awards honor the crème de la crème of products released on or after July 1 of the previous year that are at the forefront of design and innovation in upscale plumbing and hardware. This year the DPHA called in media and marketing luminaries to judge award nominees. These judges work for — and in some cases founded — such leading decorative plumbing and hardware publications and companies as KITCHEN & BATH DESIGN NEWS, Hospitality Design (HD) magazine, The Architect’s Newspaper, Dwell and Sphere Trending. This year’s panel included Jennifer Krichels, Jana Schiowitz, Jordan Kushins, Eliot Sefrin and Maxine Lauer. Click here to read their professional biographies.
