The Institution Award annually ecognizes a professional organization that plays an integral role in strengthening the presence of Spain’s stone industry across the globe.
More than 600 professionals representing the stone industry from multiple countries attended the 29th annual award ceremony; noteworthy guests included Prime Minister of Spain Mariano Rajoy and Eduardo Cosentino, president and CEO of Cosentino North America.
“ASID is grateful to Cosentino Group for nominating our Society for this esteemed award, and to AEMA for celebrating its international partnership with an organization that represents all aspects of the interior design profession,” Fiser said.
“Partnerships like these are not only the foundation for the interior design industry, but a platform that drives forward-thinking creativity and meaningful conversation for both residential and commercial spaces. I am very proud to accept this award.”
“We are truly honored and humbled to have hosted a Society as influential as ASID at an event so important to Spain’s stone industry,” said Eduardo Cosentino. “Cosentino’s partnership with ASID has proved invaluable, spurring new developments to best meet industry demands, and we’re thrilled to celebrate their contribution to our industry with the Institution Award.”
The honor comes as ASID celebrates its 40th Anniversary – a celebration of its thousands of members and industry partners who are shaping the places people live, work, learn, play, and heal.
“With every material selected and space created, interior design transforms lives, and we are grateful both AEMA and Cosentino recognize the importance of these ideals,” Gordon said.
