Celebrating the emerging design culture of the U.S. Pacific Northwest, the GRAY Awards recently concluded its 2019 edition, which attracted 220 entries this year. Designers and manufacturers from the region were invited to submit their best projects and products across 11 categories.
The jury — which included HAY cofounders Mette and Rolf Hay, designer Yves Béhar, Note Design Studio’s Johannes Carlström, and Zaha Hadid Architects' Patrik Schumacher — selected winning projects by Waechter Architecture, Mutuus Studio, LEVER Architecture, Allied Works, and more. Winners received a custom-designed trophy handcrafted by distinguished Seattle-based glass artist John Hogan.
