Irish Furniture and Homewares Show announce new format for awards

The Irish Furniture and Homewares Show 2024 will once again play host to the Irish Furniture and Homeware Awards which will take place on the evening of the shows opening day, 25 August 2024.

The awards have announced a new format and entry process this year, making it easier than ever for exhibitors to submit products, innovations and initiatives.

Entries are invited under three categories as follows:

  • Best New European Product
  • Best New Global Product
  • Best Company Sustainability Initiative

This year a new category has been introduced to acknowledge a move towards a more sustainable future for the furniture industry. Entrants are asked to showcase a sustainable initiative or new product design to reflect their company’s broader commitment to environmental and social responsibility. From reducing waste and conserving resources to embracing eco- friendly technologies, green transportation and sustainable product development and lifecycles. This award celebrates company achievements, leadership and excellence in environmental initiatives.

All exhibitors will be automatically entered into the Best Overall Product Display and Exhibition Stand Category, which will be judged by Amanda Bone on the day of the Awards.

The highly anticipated Retailer’s Choice Awards for Best Supplier and Sales Rep of the Year will also feature in the ceremony, with both being voted on by shows attendees, when they register to attend the event.

These awards provide the perfect opportunity for suppliers of furniture and homeware products into the Irish market to showcase the best of their products. The awards also recognise the enormous efforts made by exhibitors to present new products and new ideas to the trade buyers at the Irish Furniture & Homeware Show.
