Coverings Announces Winners of 5th Installation & Design Awards
Chicago, IL, April 20, 2016—Fifteen outstanding projects demonstrating spectacular craftsmanship and creativity in the use of tile and stone materials were recognized in the fifth annual Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards.
An independent panel of judges, comprised of notable industry writers, leading designers, installation experts, and representatives from Ceramics of Italy, the Tile Council of North America, Tile of Spain and National Tile Contractors Association, utilized a blind judging format to evaluate each submissions’ technical execution and installation, and the inspired and original use of materials in the design’s aesthetic.
The winning projects were honored, and $20,000 of award money was distributed, during the 2016 CID Awards & Opening Night Celebration on Monday, April 18 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Two remarkable projects were awarded grand prize honors, one for outstanding use of stone materials and one for outstanding use of tile materials.
The Stone grand prize was awarded to Carson Guest Inc. and Marmi Natural Stone for their work on The Farley Residence in Duluth, Georgia.
Grand prize honors in the tile category were awarded to Doty Tile, Snyder Tile, and Aileen Bar for the Lincoln Park Tiled Stairway project in San Francisco, California. All Grand Prize winners received $2,000 and a one-night hotel stay in Chicago during Coverings.
