For the past 16 years, Architen has entered projects which have won International Achievement Awards (IAA).  This year was no different, but rather than bringing home one or two awards, we were thrilled to win four awards in various categories.

About the IAA:

The International Achievement Awards (IAA) is an annual competition with a goal to promote awareness of the specialty fabrics used in thousands of products and applications ranging in size and shape.

The 2013 IAA ceremony took place at the Specialty Fabrics Expo and the Advanced Textiles Conference & Trade Show on October 24 in Orlando, Florida. Winners were selected based on complexity, design, workmanship, uniqueness and function.
