The Annual Häfele STAR AWARDS was started in 2017. It was conceptualized by two young minds from Hafele – Chandrani Das and Rahul Sengupta. Their main aim was to develop and build stronger relationships with the prestigious Architecture Body of DIA&ABID. With three consecutive runs and a short gap last year due to the global pandemic, Häfele returned with its 4^th Chapter that was held in Kolkata.

This event recognizes the creative and successful talent across the state and encourages upcoming designers. It is one of the few regional awards shows that has served as a launchpad for several eminent interior designers and architects of the region.

The awards were presented in different categories like Best Design in Residential Projects, Best Design in Kitchen Projects, Best Design in Office/Corporate Projects; Best Design in Hospitality Projects, Upcoming Creative Minds of The Year, and Lifetime Achievement Awards.
