by AF0617 a3 — June 21, 2010—Steelcase Inc., a global office environments manufacturer, received a Silver award in the Best of NeoCon competition for its FlexFrame workwall in the Files and Storage category.
It was displayed at the Steelcase Showroom in The Merchandise Mart, Chicago, during NeoCon World’s Trade Fair in June. FlexFrame workwall, along with the company’s contemporary wood line Elective Elements 6, demonstrated flexibility for private office and open office planning.
The FlexFrame workwall combines functionality and refined design. A direct result of primary legal industry research, FlexFrame workwall is built from insights reflecting workplace trends such as increased collaboration, the proliferation of technology and networked work processes. All these trends require that vertical and horizontal spaces in the office are maximized, creating a need for smart systems, says the company.
Used alone or integrated with other products, FlexFrame workwalls are configurable to create a range of applications including high-tech media spaces and high-density storage walls, making any private office, collaborative space, or project room work harder. FlexFrame workwalls activate vertical space for storage, display, and technology integration.
FlexFrame workwalls blend with a range of Steelcase products to create spaces that invite collaboration, seamlessly integrate media:scape and other technologies, and improve workflow through smart storage, says the company.
Designed by Jorge Pensi in collaboration with the Steelcase Design Studio, the FlexFrame workwall is expected to receive Cradle to Cradle, BIFMA level and SCS Indoor Advantage certification. It will be available for first order entry in November, 2010.
