24e Design Co., an award-winning modern furniture store based in Savannah, Ga., and specializing in contemporary furniture design, interior design and home décor, was recently honored by the ART and Dallas Market Center as the number one independent boutique furniture and interior design retailer with one store location at the 27th annual ARTS Awards Gala event held Friday, January 22 at the Hilton Anatole, which was attended by more than 500 guests.

The ARTS Awards is the premier international awards program for the home industry honoring designers, manufacturers, retailers and sales representatives and is held each January during the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market. Awards were given across categories including manufacturing, retail and specialty.

“24e started as a local furniture store and has evolved into a leader in the industry for curated pieces and high-quality furniture made by some of the best in artisans in the world,” said Ruel Joyner, founder and owner of 24e. “However, the real honor is being able to bring one of the industry’s highest awards and achievements back to the City of Savannah. I think the fact 24e earned this prestigious award says more about the culture of our community and how far we’ve come as a city. This award is as much for me as it is for Savannah.”

24e Design Co. is branded by the core philosophy to inspire and achieve an amplified living experience. Featuring one-of-a-kind home décor, furniture fabrication and inhouse interior design and architectural planning, 24e harmoniously pays homage to traditional classics while incorporating modern heirlooms to create a stylish lifestyle that showcases the unique individuality and inventiveness of each living space.

We are privileged to have such strong ties to the design community and be able to cultivate the growth of so many individuals and companies.”
