Giants of the design industry gathered to be honored by design industry Guru Charles S. Cohen. It was a star filled night in Manhattan, and the stars gathered in ASTRA atop Cohen's famed landmark NY D&D Building.  STARS OF DESIGN Awards are given annually to iconic figures in their fields.  This year's legends included Robert A.M. Stern, David Easton, Dana Lorenz, Melanie Acevedo, Gail Anderson, Deborah Nevins. The first ever posthumous award was given to artist Kenneth Noland. His widow, iconic former Architectural Digest editor Paige Rense, accepted it on his behalf.

This annual Award is becoming the gold standard in the Design industry, and Charles Cohen told us, "My four Design Centers are honored to recognize the sheer giants and geniuses in the industry. They grace our lives and lifestyles, and we are proud to recognize their unique contributions to our world."
