The 18th annual Starnet Design Awards recently honored the best and brightest work in commercial flooring as one of the major highlights of Starnet Worldwide Commercial Flooring Partnership’s annual meeting held in April.
“The Design Awards allow us to come together and recognize talent and creativity,” said Jeanne Matson, president and CEO of Starnet. “This year’s winners demonstrate to the entire industry that outstanding flooring design and craftsmanship can achieve amazing results in the commercial market. The Design Awards also allow us to showcase the collaboration between our members, vendor partners and the A&D community. It’s a team effort that strengthens relation- ships and fosters innovation.”
