2016 PaperCity Dallas Design Awards: And the Winners Are…

The second annual PaperCity Dallas Design Awards with Dunhill Partners elicited 232 outstanding entries in 17 categories, with more than 2,000 project images downloaded into digital libraries for our judges — designer Jay Jeffers from San Francisco, architect Bobby McAlpine from Atlanta, and designer Jeffrey Alan Marks from L.A. We present the winning projects here, and in the January 2017 issue of PaperCity magazine.

The awards celebration began with cocktails in the George Cameron Nash showroom, hosted by the charming George Cameron Nash and Bill Hutchinson, owner of a large swath of Dallas Design District and developer of the new Virgin Hotel. The awards presentation was held at Level Two event space in Dallas Design District, with awards presented by the judges Jay Jeffers, Bobby McAlpine, and Jeffrey Alan Marks. Christofle’s Rebecca Anhalt flew in from the New York corporate office to present the winners with stunning Andrée Putman-designed engraved silver trays. The celebration continued at concurrent after-parties: an al fresco lounge created by Todd Events, with DJ Jordan; an appearance by artist Robert Kuo at Ellouise Abbott showroom; and Jeffers, McAlpine and Marks signing their latest books at David Sutherland showroom. 

Watch for the January 2017 issue of PaperCity magazine for more on the winning projects.
