Pratt Team Wins Best in Show at Architectural Digest Home Design Show Event

A tabletop installation created by Pratt architecture and industrial design students for the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) Dining by Design event was one of only two out of 44 installations voted "Best in Show" by The American Society of Interior Designers. This is the second year in a row that a Pratt student team has taken home a Best in Show award from this competition, which also included installations by Jonathan Adler, David Rockwell, and Ralph Lauren.

The event, which runs concurrently with the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, brings together some of the most celebrated designers to create spectacular dining environments. A dinner fundraiser is then held in each space. Pratt received guidance and feedback from industry mentor Stephen Apking, FAIA, design partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM).

Way to go Pratt! Congratulations all on placing. However, I find it disappointing that a project that is so interior-centric had no representation from the Interior Design department. What is up with that?
