Originated in 1995, the Star Award was created to recognize and demonstrate appreciation for individuals who have significantly impacted the Interior Design Community and Design World. Past recipients include manufacturer representatives, retail founders, research specialists and general innovators.

On June 14, 2009 during the IIDA Annual Meeting and International Conference at NeoCon, Hilda Longinotti brings her friends, colleagues and muses to share in the celebration of nearly 40 years at Herman Miller and receives the coveted Star Award.

“Over the past 30 years, Hilda has made an impact on not just the New York design community, but also the industry across the country.” - Cheryl Durst, Honorary IIDA, LEED AP, IIDA CEO and Executive Vice President
