The Interior Design Society (IDS) Presents National Designer of the Year Awards at 2016 National Conference

Yeheskel Sharbani, owner of Elite Kitchen & Bath in Manhasset, NY was honored to receive the FIRST PLACE 2015 IDS National Designer of the Year Award for Kitchens $50,000 & above on April 1, 2016 in Dallas Texas.

IDS, an independent national organization comprised of more than 2000 members with national headquarters in High Point, N.C., announced the award recipients for its sixth annual Designer of the Year competition. These prestigious awards are presented to the most exemplary members each year based on their outstanding work in various categories of design. For the designed spaces, judges took into account client needs, functionality, aesthetic, craftsmanship obstacles, budget and specification. 

“Our award winning kitchen transformed a small kitchen into a dream kitchen by intelligently moving the staircase located adjacent to the kitchen to a better location” says Sharbani. "We incorporated RUTT Kitchen Cabinets into a phenomenal design and added the Island our clients craved. The client is able to enjoy their prized island for many years to come”. 

EK&B/Express is the IDS 2015 National Designer of the Year and three time winner of the NARI COTY Gold Award for Contractor of the Year in 2015 and 2014.
