On the one hand, it’s a season of closure and reflection, and on the other, it’s about imagining the possibilities of what’s ahead. That, Din a nutshell, is what this issue is about: looking backward at the best of what 2019 had to offer and setting our sights on what 2020 has to bring. As we do annually, we opened the polls in October to find out which products we published in the magazine this year were your favorites. And the results are in! We received nearly 10,000 votes, and in some cases, it was a very close finish (there were only three votes separating our first and second place winners in the Details and Decor category). To find which products earned the coveted titled of our 2019 Readers’ Choice Awards, turn to page 31 and see if your horse won the race. Personally, I cast my vote for an innovative new carpet line I discovered at NeoCon, which you can read all about in our Product Inspiration story (page 42). In keeping with the awards theme, ASID also announces in this issue the winners of its 2019 Outcome of Design Awards (OODA) for best project (see page 45). Presented in partnership with Herman Miller and NeoCon, OODA is designed to celebrate the power of design and recognizes projects that successfully illustrate that “Design Impacts Lives” through data-driven results. Because measuring the best in design can be a subjective process, OODA instead looks at the data behind the design intent to impact well-being, productivity and collaboration. This year also marked IIDA’s 25th anniversary, which means there was cause for the Association to celebrate, as noted in this month’s IIDA column (page 46). Aside from another successful year of programming, design leadership and community-building, IIDA saw the inaugural launches of exciting new publications, scholarships and panel
