Cable railing system earns top honors in one of the design industry’s most prestigious awards programs
Feeney, the pioneer of cable railing, has been awarded the prestigious 2025 ADEX Platinum Award for its DesignRail® Modern cable railing system. The Platinum Award is the highest level of recognition in the Awards for Design Excellence (ADEX) program and represents the pinnacle of design in the architecture and design industry.
DesignRail® Modern was featured on Design Journal (designjournalmag.com) and caught the attention of the ADEX Awards review board, leading to its submission for Director’s Choice honors. The ADEX Director’s Choice committee ultimately selected the system for the Platinum Award.
“DesignRail Modern was created to provide homeowners with a sleek, minimalist railing system that enhances outdoor spaces without obstructing views. Winning the ADEX Platinum Award affirms our commitment to both aesthetics and functionality in our product designs,” said Katrina Ralston, president of Feeney, Inc.
Feeney’s DesignRail® Modern redefines architectural elegance for residential outdoor spaces with its streamlined aluminum construction, hidden fasteners and absence of a bottom rail for unobstructed views. The system accommodates spans up to 8 feet, reducing the need for additional posts while maintaining structural integrity. Optional features such as the DrinkRail add-on and LED lighting integration enhance both form and function.
ADEX, the largest and most prestigious design competition in the architecture and design industry, has recognized excellence in design innovation, function, and aesthetics since 1995. The program is sponsored by Design Journal and judged by an international panel of industry professionals.
