Haworth has picked up a 2007 AIA Institute Honor Award for Interior Architecture from the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The award recognizes the office furniture manufacturer’s Chicago showroom, which features a sustainable design by Perkins+Will | Eva Maddox Branded Environments.

A nod to works that exemplify excellence in architecture, interior architecture, and urban design, an AIA Institute Honor Award is one of the industry’s highest honors. The Haworth showroom is one of 11 projects selected from nearly 700 submissions to receive 2007 Honor Awards for Interior Architecture.

Serving as a showroom, sales office and conference facility, the space showcases the manufacturer’s workplace concepts, product applications, and integrated communications elements.

“The space serves as an inspiration for the melding of sustainable design with high design principles,” the jury notes. “The water element elevates the experience by engaging new dimensions of sensory awareness.”
