![]() |

| The Home Entertainment Lounge downstairs at Sony Style on Madison Avenue was filled with over a hundred revelers on Thursday evening, April 10. IDNF members, Seki Design Competition winners and their proud parents and friends gathered to celebrate the culmination of a successful campaign and prizes awarded to a group of very talented young designers. We are extremely pleased that all twelve winners were present to receive their awards. Posting information regarding the competition on the Internet proved very effective, as evidenced by the attendance of prize winners from as far away as Poland and Spain.
In creating this competition IDNF offers young designers the opportunity to learn about production values and network with manufacturers and established design professionals. At the same time a valuable service is provided to the manufacturer, through the introduction of some very creative innovations. In the words of the competition sponsor, Mr. Katsuhiko Hasegawa, Gifu Seki Cutlery Industry Association Chairman, "We received many interesting ideas and concepts and I was impressed with all the efforts of our many applicants. I feel lucky to have worked with IDNF, David McFadden, Yoshiko Ebihara, and the jurors on the panel." Place: Sony Style Home Entertainment Lounge 550 Madison Avenue, New York, NY In Conjunction with: The Gifu Seki Cutlery Industry Association |
