Las Vegas Market 2019: Home design experts honor this year’s exceptional products
Like any good contest, the competitors are the best in their fields. But unlike other contests, there were plenty of winners when results of the 14th Housewares Design Awards Celebration were announced Tuesday night at the Las Vegas Winter Market.
Winner were named in 13 categories: 11 core housewares categories, a Smart Home category and a new Gourmet Specialty Foods category.
This year, the Design Innovation of the Year award went to Lodge Cast Iron’s Cast Iron Cook-It-All, best-in-category winner of the Cookware & Bakeware category.
In addition, Tastemade — a worldwide food and travel network — was awarded the third annual Design Influencer of the Year award.
