Affie Award
In 2009, the new Affie was designed by Mark Tucker III, a furniture designer with Home Line Furniture and a graduate of Kendall College of Art and Design. Presented to each member inducted into the American Furniture Hall of Fame, the flame symbolizes the enduring spirit of the furniture industry and the energy required to achieve the accomplishments, innovation and leadership of each Hall of Fame Member.
Handcrafted by Appalachian artisan metal crafters, the new Affie features a copper flame, circled by a metal infinity band. A black collar rests on a turned wooden based of solid, vintage black walnut, reclaimed from a barn built in 1887 in Wonewoc, Wisconsin, courtesy of Turning House Furniture.
Development of the new Affie was generously underwritten by the Berkshire Hathaway furniture companies: Jordan's Furniture, Nebraska Furniture Mart, R.C. Willey Home Furnishings and Star Furniture.
