These new products enable us to pursue our exclusive focus on social applications, and create spaces that are responsive to all the ways we work and all that our work demands.”
Freehand Occasional Tables
Freehand is a multi-purpose occasional table system designed for commercial interiors of any kind, including lobbies, offices, retail settings and more. Its modular nature and variety of shape and size options allow it to fit any space, serving as a side table or coffee table depending on the layout of the area it occupies. Freehand’s wide range of potential finish combinations yields a product that allows ample expression in commercial interiors.
Havn Seating Collection
Havn is a Scandinavian-inspired seating collection comprising a winged lounge chair and settee. Havn addresses the demand for increased flexibility in today’s workplace. Low-back settees and lounges provide a comfortable area for socializing, collaborative work, or casual interviews, while high-back offerings block distractions for employees as they work on tasks that require a great deal of focus. The high-back settee also serves as an excellent alternative to conference rooms for two-person meetings.
Clique Modular Bench
Clique is a modular furniture system featuring benches with or without backs, plus sectional benches in a variety of configurations. Ranging from two to eight seats, Clique adapts transversely to any space. It creates a more agile environment for mobile workers by meeting the increasing demand for multi-purpose spaces. It is ideal for those clients in need of perimeter benching in meeting rooms or cafes, back-to-back booth scenarios, or as standalone seating in open environments and lobbies. Clique offers a multitude of customizable options, as well as preconfigured benches and sectional benches.
Clip Seating Collection
Studio TK also launched its Clip Seating Collection at NeoCon. Designed by Swedish design firm Claesson Koivisto Rune, Clip offers customizable office seating that works well in a myriad of applications, from bustling startups to more established companies looking to update their interiors. Clip functions well in task, lounge and side chair applications. Versatile in use, the chair is comfortable enough for lounging, and firm enough for the support needed throughout a workday.
Eighty-three awards were distributed in the Best of NeoCon 2019 competition of contract furnishing products during NeoCon at The Mart.
