The DreamWave M-Series by Ken Okuyama, consisting of the M.8 and M.8LE massage chairs, was recognized among the best in furniture design in the Leather Upholstery – Luxury category.
"Now in its 24th year, the annual Pinnacle Awards competition attracts more and more talented designers and innovative design concepts each year," says ISFD's executive director John Conrad. "This year we expanded the competition and received a record number of entries."
The ISFD Pinnacle Awards judging panel is made up of influential, high-profile industry leaders in manufacturing, retailing, education, journalism, design and home fashion forecasting. The 2019 finalists, all professional product and furniture designers, envision and create the designs that ultimately become some of the most sought-after home furnishings items in the world.
"It is an honor to be recognized by ISFD among the finest and most innovative designs in the furniture industry," said Cliff Levin, founder and CEO, DreamWave. "This recognition is a testament to DreamWave's dedication to deliver excellence, innovation and originality in the practice of furniture design."
Honed to perfection by industrial icon Ken Okuyama, the DreamWave M-Series is the intersection of timeless Eastern massage tradition, cultivated design, and Japanese engineering quality. Inspired by Okuyama's automotive roots with Porsche, Ferrari and Maserati, the M-Series' rear-swinging doors offer a new level of convenience in massage chairs. Unapologetically luxurious, precise in its details, transformational and transcendent, the DreamWave M-Series feels remarkably like the touch of a human massage therapist.
