HBF and HBF Textiles recently clinched top honors at the esteemed Best of Year (BoY) Awards. The mood was genuinely joyous as they cheered for the Bao Collection in the Contract Stool category and the Deep Connections collection in the Hospitality Textiles category. This dual success underscores their commitment to design that addresses the needs of today's contract interiors while keeping accessibility at the forefront of their endeavors. It's a nod to their ongoing efforts in shaping the design landscape with a touch of sophistication and approachability.

The Bao Collection, specifically the Bao pouf, is a collaborative seating solution with Alda Ly Architecture (ALA), reflecting a blend of modern aesthetics, flexibility and space-saving functionality. Inspired by the Chinese term "bao," connoting preciousness and delicacy, the pouf features a soft, circular shape that seamlessly merges comfort with tranquility. Offering six base archetypes, two seat heights, and a range of customization options, the Bao pouf caters to diverse spaces and takes on different personalities.

The Deep Connections textiles collection takes a departure from traditional definitions, offering a nuanced exploration of form and design language. It goes beyond textiles, capturing the delicate intricacies within shadows, the layers of organic patterns, and their interplay with light. This collection becomes a visual sensation that captivates at every turn, embodying the allure of nature's textures and tones.

Interior Design's Best of Year, now in its 18th year, remains the ultimate arbiter of design excellence, recognizing noteworthy work and setting benchmarks for the future. The awards celebrate designers, architects, and manufacturers from across the globe.
