Two products — AvoSeedo by AvoSeedo, LLC (Frankfurt, Germany) and True Moringa Lavender Facial Oil by True Moringa (Boston) — were recognized as “Best of HOME” and “Best of LIFESTYLE” presented by NY NOW, the Market for Home, Lifestyle + Gift. The summer 2015 award winners were determined by popular online voting and awarded at NY NOW.

“NY NOW’s HOME and LIFESTYLE Collections are a popular source of design-driven and fashion-forward trends, and these awards recognize two outstanding products in an intensely competitive field,” said Scott Kramer, NY NOW co-director and vice president. “These products went through a multi-tiered judging process where they were first selected by a panel of industry professionals before winners were determined by popular voting.”

The winners of the Summer 2015 NY NOW “Best of HOME” and “Best of LIFESTYLE” Awards are:
