NYSID proudly presents the Larry Kravet Design Industry Leadership Award to Nate Berkus, one of the world’s most influential interior designers, author, and television personality. He's introduced by Wendy Goodman, design editor of New York Magazine.
---------------------------
The Larry Kravet Design Industry Leadership Award is presented to an individual or company who has helped advance the field of
interior design in a significant way and is a leader in the industry. Presented for the first
time in 2019 to Christopher Spitzmiller (Innovation award), we presented the 2020
Innovation award to Gale Singer (Circa Lighting) and Andy Singer (Visual Comfort &
Co.), the 2021 Leadership award to Corey Damen Jenkins, the 2022 Leadership award to
Young Huh, and the 2023 Leadership Award to John Edelman.
The Kravet Award is named in memory of Larry Kravet, an icon within the interior design
industry, who passed away in 2018 at age 92. He transformed his grandfather’s small tailoring
shop, established over 100 years ago, into Kravet Inc. Under his leadership, Kravet Inc.
grew into North America’s largest integrated ‘to the trade’ wholesaler of decorative home
products and one of the world’s foremost purveyors of fabric, furniture, wall coverings, and
carpet. Mr. Kravet was the third generation of a now five-generation family company. His
daughter, Ellen, is Chairman of the NYSID Board, and is helping to continue his legacy
both at NYSID and Kravet Inc.
