REN, designed by NERI&HU for Poltrona Frau, wins the inaugural NYCxDesign Award for best "Storage"
23/06/2016
REN, the collection of complements for the home designed by Chinese architects Neri&Hu, was awarded at the first edition of the NYCxDESIGN Awards in the "Storage" category.
This range of accessories stems from thorough research by designers Neri&Hu on providing decorative storage solutions for home entryways and halls, and Ren is definitely an innovation both formally and functionally.
All elements of the collection are created to interpret in different ways the nature of this entrance area, proposing a series of hybrid objects in both materials and functions.
It so happens that the Ren range comprises a mirror as well as a free-standing and wall-mounted coat rack, table, console and valet stand.
Crafted in wood, brass and leather, the furniture is characterized by meticulous attention to detail in its features and forms.
NYCxDESIGN Awards is a global design competition celebrating outstanding achievement across major areas of design—from architecture to interiors, from furnishings to lighting, from products to collectibles, from craft to technology and unifies the more than 500 events taking place during New York City's showcase of global design.
30 categories and a jury composed by 28 members from Cindy Allen, editor in chief of Interior Design magazine, to Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at MoMa, to architect Daniel Libeskind and other prominent celebrities of the international A&D community.
It is a very prestigious accolade for Poltrona Frau that has just launched this new collection at Salone del Mobile, which further confirms its worldwide leadership as manufacturer and provider of proudly "Made in Italy" furnishings.
