NYSID Gala 2025: Mara Miller & Jesse Carrier Receive Larry Kravet Design Industry Leadership Award

NYSID is proud to present Mara Miller and Jesse Carrier, the founding principals of Carrier and Company Interiors, with the Larry Kravet Design Industry Leadership Award for their fusion of timeless elegance and contemporary design. The husband-and-wife interior design duo's guiding philosophy connects client with place in a manner that reflects the distinct and singular nature of both. From bohemian glamour to country charm, from modern luxe to the timeless and ineffable, from the historically informed to the tailored and refined, the Carriers delight in adapting their impassioned sensibility to the unique elements each project presents. They have been named to the Architectural Digest AD100 list and Elle Decor A-List for their sophisticated, yet livable designs that express their clients’ personalities. --------------------------- This award is presented to an individual or company who has helped advance the field of interior design in a significant way and is a leader in the industry. Presented for the first time in 2019 to Christopher Spitzmiller (Innovation award), we presented the 2020 Innovation award to Gale Singer (Circa Lighting) and Andy Singer (Visual Comfort & Co.), the 2021 Leadership award to Corey Damen Jenkins, the 2022 Leadership award to Young Huh, the 2023 Leadership Award to John Edelman, and the 2024 Leadership Award to Nate Berkus. The Kravet Award is named in memory of Larry Kravet, an icon within the interior design industry, who passed away in 2018 at age 92. He transformed his grandfather’s small tailoring shop, established over 100 years ago, into Kravet LLC. Under his leadership, the company grew into North America’s largest integrated “to the trade” wholesaler of decorative home products and one of the world’s foremost purveyors of fabric, furniture, wall coverings, and carpet. Mr. Kravet was the third generation of a now five-generation family company. His daughter, Ellen, is Chairman of the NYSID Board, and is helping to continue his legacy both at NYSID and Kravet LLC. --------------------------- For more information about the New York School of Interior Design, visit https://www.nysid.edu/ To donate to the NYSID scholarship fund or to make another tax-deductible gift, visit https://www.nysid.edu/donate.
