Dual Lounge designed by Toan Nguyen and Bevy tables by Mario Ruiz recognized at NeoCon 2017 with awards
June 15, 2017
Studio TK today announced that two of its three collections unveiled at NeoCon 2017 – held June 12-14 at The Mart in Chicago – were recognized with awards.
Dual Lounge designed by Toan Nguyen was the Winner of the Workplace: Lounge Seating category in the HiP Awards. Sponsored by Interior Design magazine, this award honors industry leaders and innovative products.
“The Dual Lounge is the fruit of a balanced combination of several character traits apparently in opposition,” said Toan Nguyen. “Its monolithic and organic shape is divided in two by a clear-cut line: the upper part is enveloping and dedicated to the user comfort, while the base is a subtle counterpoint of balance, tension and transparency. With both parts customizable with any fabric or leather on the top, and fabric or three-dimensional knitted mesh on the base, Dual Lounge is suitable to either a classic tone-on-tone or a fancy, sharp contrast matching. The low-back version stimulates a dynamic attitude and a collaborative discourse whereas the high back incites rest and relaxation.”
Each year, Metropolis magazine editors seek out the top designs in a viral awards program known as Metropolis Likes. One of this year’s 35 Likes awards went to Studio TK‘s Bevy – a new table collection designed by Mario Ruiz.
“Bevy is a dynamic table platform that enables endless configuration. Designed for sitting, standing or perching, the collection easily solves any spatial configuration,” said Mario Ruiz. “Six table heights, as well as a range of top sizes, offer a multitude of combinations to create spaces that allow heads-down focus, or for holding court. Bevy reimagines the workplace from the ground up. Multiple base options, a range of tabletop shapes and a variety of finishes offer seemingly endless customizable options that create surface appeal with a deeper cultural meaning.”
In addition to Dual Lounge and Bevy Tables, Studio TK also unveiled Alki’s Kuskoa and Lasai seating at NeoCon 2017. The North American launch of Kuskoa and Lasai celebrates a new partnership between Studio TK and Alki.
“It’s a great honor for Studio TK to work with such internationally renowned designers as Mario Ruiz and Toan Nguyen, and we are all very proud that their latest designs have been recognized with these awards at NeoCon,” said Charlie Bell, President, Studio TK. ”We look forward to adding more innovative designs by Toan and Mario to the Studio TK portfolio in future.”
