WHAT MAKES A DESIGN ICON?

For a piece to be truly iconic to the HB editors, it needs to:

 Be recognisable homeware that deserves the spotlight.

 Illustrate innovative design, whether from the high street or a showroom.

 Have longevity and really stand the test of time.

 Serve as an object of desire – beautiful, yes, but useful, too.

 Be a piece that is used every day by House Beautiful editors.
