by Ann Withanee — June 22, 2012—The Teknion showroom at The Merchandise Mart during NeoCon was alive with its latest products, and four of them won awards in The Best of NeoCon product competition. A Gold Award was issued to Teknion for LOGIQ, an energy management system. (See FMLink article “NeoCon 2012: Teknion’s LOGIQ to monitor electrical usage wins Best of NeoCon Gold” for details of LOGIQ’s role as an energy management tool in the workplace.) Three Silver Awards were accorded to Teknion furniture systems Interpret, Sidewise, and Expansion Goods.
Interpret, which won in the Furniture: Benching category, is a new universal desking system described as simple, complete and highly flexible to meet the needs of people and organizations worldwide with a single product line. Interpret is reportedly unique in that it combines the best features of desking and benching systems.
The Sidewise compact casegoods workstation/hub, which earned a Silver Award in the Casegoods category, takes a fresh approach at addressing the unique needs of smaller workspaces resulting from today’s shift towards more open plan environments with increased collaborative work.
A third Silver was awarded to Expansion Casegoods in the Furniture Systems: Enhancements category. With one of the largest finish offerings in the industry, according to Teknion, this contemporary laminate and wood casegoods line brings a refined aesthetic to the private office. The company says a wide variety of configurations strikes a perfect balance between functionality, clean aesthetics and price.
