HICKORY, NC - Century Furniture and designer Richard Frinier recently received a 2016 ADEX Platinum Award for their new and innovative Palm Beach Royal Lounge Chair.
ADEX stands for Awards for Design Excellence and is one of the largest and most prestigious award programs within the architecture and design community, as sponsored and awarded by the Design Journal Magazine, an international trade resource for interior designers, architects and facility managers since 1988.
Director of Century Outdoor, Haynes King, says, “We are very proud to receive this award for our new Palm Beach Royal Lounge Chair. ADEX awards represent the best-of-the-best in product design annually, and this design seems to have risen to the occasion since its launch for the 2016 season and beyond.”
The Palm Beach Royal Lounge Chair from the Richard Frinier Collection for Century presents an iconic, high-back chair with a most distinctive form and innovative 360° smooth swivel rotation base achieved with concealed polyurethane skate wheels for performance and stability. Its full surround back and arm rest areas are well defined by a woven shawl collar detail cascading to interior arm rests for styling, comfort and privacy.
“I enjoyed creating this new and timely design with Century Furniture,” adds designer Richard Frinier. “The Palm Beach Collection has been very well received in the marketplace and I believe this is due in part to its intergenerational appeal in design.”
