ICI Paints, IFDA Circle of Excellence

ICI wins sustainability award
ICI Paints was one of six design-industry leaders honored by the New York Chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA) with induction into the organization’s Circle of Excellence. The six winners, ranging from designers and manufacturers to publishers, were praised for their outstanding contributions toward sustainable design.

ICI was cited with an “Enlightened Product” distinction because of its work in low-VOC coatings, according to an IFDA news release: “ICI Paints is the industry’s acknowledged leader in the development of low- and no-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, setting the standard for other manufacturers.” The group singled out Larry Porcellato, CEO of the North American operations of ICI Paints, in its accolades.

Founded in 1947, IFDA is a professional alliance of members of the residential and commercial furnishings and design industries. In making this year’s Circle of Excellence selections, the group focused on contributions to the aesthetic aspects of environmentally friendly design.
