Design group chooses Brooklyn Bridge Park for annual award
Brooklyn Bridge Park will receive the International Furnishing and Design Association’s (IFDA’s) annual Big Apple Award on Oct. 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Galapagos Art Center, 16 Main St., DUMBO.
IFDA, according to its website, is “the only all-industry association whose members provide services and products to the furnishings and design industry.” The group was founded in 1947 by six women in the home furnishing industry, in part to further the role of women in the profession. Later, the organization admitted men and grew to encompass all facets to furnishing and design.
Co-chair Su Hilty told the Eagle that Brooklyn Bridge Park was chosen for the award after a “pretty rigorous process” involving a committee and the organization’s membership.
