The Top Twenty in 2000

edited by Elana Frankel -- Interior Design, 12/1/2000

The indefatigable Connie Barton in our reader service department helped compile this year's top twenty product picks. She was there every step of the way-from the time you circled the number next to a product in the Market section to the year-end tallies. However, Connie could not predict exactly which products struck your fancy over the past year. From the four original chairs shown at the Milan furniture fair to fashion-forward fabrics and new floor coverings, your choices were distinct and daring. Readers favored products from young upstarts like lighting designer Aaron Rincover as well as re-introductions from more established designers such as Gunta Stölzl and Willy Guhl; readers similarly preferred work from established companies-Maharam and Cappellini-Modern Age-as well as newcomers such as Biproduct and Elson & Company. Diverse, indeed.
