Five Best New Product Awards Presented at Winter 2014 New York Home Textiles Market Week

Five companies participating in Home Textiles Market Week® in New York City were named winners of Home Textiles Best New Product Awards today, with Couture Dreams receiving the “Best of Market” award for its Heavenly Throw. All of the honorees are eligible for NY NOW’s “Best of HOME” Award, which will be determined by online balloting – atwww.redclaydesign.com/nynow – during the Winter 2014 edition of NY NOW™, the Market for Home + Lifestyle (formerly NYIGF®), which runs Saturday, February 1, through Thursday, February 6, at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

In addition to the overall “Best of Market” distinction, Best New Product Awards are presented semi-annually in four categories: Bed, Bath, Dining and Home Accessories. A panel of trade and consumer editors select winners and finalists based on criteria including innovation in design, creative use of materials/construction and new fiber, material or technology.
