(Continued) T here are projects that stand alone in their scope and service to the Dallas design community. The annual Dallas Design District Award honors an individual, foundation or company that has made a difference and galvanized the Dallas design community. The 2021 Baccarat obelisk goes to Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club and Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas. For 48 years, the internationally recognized Kips Bay Decorator Show House has invited celebrated designers to transform a luxury Manhattan home into an elegant exhibition of fine furnishings, art, and technology. This project has grown into a must- see event for thousands of design enthusiasts and is a springboard for launching designers' careers. Following the success of the Palm Beach Show House created four years ago, Kips Bay put Dallas on the world design map with the opening of Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas in 2020. The 2020 and 2021 Dallas Show Houses attracted visitors from across the U.S. It's immeasurable what Kips Bay has brought to the Dallas design community — and to the city as a whole. Andy Crosland, president of Dunhill Partners, presented the Award to Nazira Handal, Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club director of special events and corporate sponsorships. For 11 years, Handal has orchestrated, nurtured and shepherded the Kips Bay Show Houses. Congratulations to Handal and Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club.
