by AF0617 i3 — June 21, 2010—Davis Furniture Industries, Inc. received a Gold award for its SITE collection in the conference room furniture category in The Best of NeoCon competition during NeoCon World’s Trade Fair at The Merchandise Mart, Chicago. SITE is a collection of low, large-scale tables, modular benches, and a highly configurable storage system designed to create immersive spaces for collaboration in applications ranging from conference rooms to large public spaces.
SITE plays a critical role in connecting individuals either face-to-face or at a distance via Web conferencing, and leverages space by activating under-utilized “in between” spaces (i.e.: lobbies, concourse, open areas, etc.). When configured for large-scale applications, SITE’s inherent flexibility is reflected in how it easily serves large and small groups, as well as individuals, based on the way users orient themselves within the setting.
Each element in the SITE collection is designed to be used in multiple ways, while retaining value as standalone products. When the pieces are used together, the thoughtful and fluid design creates highly effective and inspired settings in which to gather and work, says the company.
- SITE Benches present a comfortable alternative seating solution for casual conferencing and meeting spaces. Though seating is shared, iIndividual space is delineated by thoughtful gaps set in each bench. The benches create low boundaries that help define space within the open plan environment.
- SITE Tables are round or rectangular and are designed at a low, working height to create a casual and comfortable, yet effective, workspace. Power and technology access is artfully integrated within the surface, while cable management is smartly hidden below.
- SITE Storage provides multiple functionality and support to the meeting space. The units offer a smart range of storage solutions accessible from both sides, in addition to simple technology support. Storage units can also function as space separation and can be configured as a standing height exchange surface between settings.
