by Brianna Crandall — July 10, 2015—Ghent, a GMi company, was awarded the Best of NeoCon Silver award in the Accessories category for its new product LINK Hex, a powder-coated hexagonal whiteboard solution, at the NeoCon 2015 contract furnishings show held in Chicago in June. GMi says it has a single mission: delivering products and experiences that leave its customers with a feeling of “That’s Exactly What I Wanted!”
Ghent, the visual communications brand of GMi Companies, showcased some one-of-a-kind products at NeoCon this year including the LINK family of whiteboards. Designed by renowned industrial design firm KEM STUDIO, these powder-coated dry erase boards are made of formed steel that can double as functional artwork.
Ghent says LINK products are designed to be simple, fun, smart, and layered. This multifunctional approach is reportedly drawing appreciation from interior designers and workplace specifiers about the modern take on a traditional product segment. Studies show that when a collaboration tool is fun, people start to use it, adds Ghent.
Available in Bright Blue, Gray and White, LINK Hex is designed to make common areas uncommon, turning lobbies into conversation centers and hallways into brainstorming-central.
Previewed at NeoCon last year, LINK is now available to the public, and different models can be viewed online via the Ghent catalog.
