Armstrong Wins ADEX Award for Design Excellence for
Chef Center Kitchen Cabinets

ADEX is the largest and most prestigious awards program for product design of furnishings marketed through the design trade. Awards are judged on form and function. Platinum is the highest achievement.

 A Lifestyle Solution that makes daily tasks easier and more enjoyable, ChefCenter™ is an integral part of any cooking zone and works well other kitchen zones. The center, available only from Armstrong, features either a 30” or 36” drawer base with organizer and pull-out organizers.  Since it is modular and scalable, it is easy to include innovative, value-adding features to enhance standard kitchen plans.

“Interior designers, architects and other professionals who influence the purchase of residential and contract furnishings see the ADEX Award as a glowing symbol of excellence, representing the absolute finest in product design,” said Kalpesh Nanji, New Product Development Manager, Armstrong Cabinets. “We are proud of this achievement.”

This year’s competition sponsored by Design Journal, the international trade publication for interior designers and architects, was the most hotly contested in the last 13 years with over 300 companies entering more than 1,200 products. ADEX Awards represent the best product designs of the year.

An anonymous panel of professionals representing a cross section of the design industry conducts all voting for the ADEX Awards. Winners are published annually in Design Journal.

ChefCenter also was one of only 10 products to be honored earlier this year by HOME magazine with a 2008 Kitchen & Bath Award.
