Encore’s Trove Collection Wins 2025 GOOD DESIGN® Award
La Palma, CA — Encore is proud to announce that its Trove collection has been honored with a GOOD DESIGN® Award for Furniture, presented by The Chicago Athenaeum in partnership with The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. Established in 1950, GOOD DESIGN remains the world’s oldest and most highly regarded program for design excellence, celebrating products that advance innovation, functionality, and contemporary aesthetics across industries worldwide.
Each year, the program attracts thousands of submissions from leading global manufacturers and design firms, spanning categories from consumer products and technology to architecture and furniture. Award recipients represent a broad spectrum of influential brands and Fortune 500 companies, placing Trove among an international class of forward-thinking designs selected for their impact and quality.
“We’re honored to be among this esteemed group of companies and are incredibly proud of the team behind the design for having enabled such an honor,” says Casey Journigan, Encore President. That team is none other than David Ritch and Mark Saffell of 5d Studio, who have amassed a number of product recognitions throughout their careers, including multiple Best of NeoCon awards and the coveted IDSA – Design of the Decade award.
The Trove collection itself is a thoughtfully crafted family of nesting and coordinating swivel chairs that pairs a refined, modern silhouette with effortless performance. Its unique passive-nesting design allows chairs to glide neatly together, helping spaces stay organized while maximizing flexibility.
Engineered with a slim profile and compact footprint, it’s ideal for environments where adaptability and efficiency matter most. The collection’s clean aesthetic, broad finish palette, and intuitive functionality make it a natural fit across workplace, education, hospitality, and healthcare settings.
This latest recognition from the GOOD DESIGN jury underscores Encore’s ongoing commitment to products that combine smart engineering with elevated design. Trove was also recently honored with a 2025 Interior Design Best of Year Award, further affirming its impact within today’s evolving interiors landscape.
