Studio TK Wins Three Awards at NeoCon 2018
June 21, 2018
Studio TK announced today that two of its new product introductions earned awards at NeoCon, North America’s most important commercial design show held annually in Chicago. Borough won a Silver Best of NeoCon Award in the Lounge Furniture Collections category, and was named Winner of the Workplace: Modular Sofa category in the HiP Awards sponsored by Interior Design magazine. Another Studio TK product introduction, the Cesto interactive collection of seating and table elements designed by Khodi Feiz, was selected as one of only 33 new products to receive a Metropolis Likes NeoCon Award, sponsored by Metropolis magazine. Cesto was also a Finalist in the HiP Awards Workplace: Bench/Stool category.
“Studio TK had a terrific NeoCon,” said Charlie Bell, President, Studio TK. “We had a consistently overwhelming response to our new tenth-floor showroom. Just prior to the show we announced a partnership with Artifort and exhibited four of their collections in our space. And now these prestigious awards for our new Borough and Cesto products, which pay tribute to the exceptional design capabilities that Christophe Pillet and Khodi Feiz bring to our product portfolio.”
Borough is a collection of hospitality oriented elements set to enhance our daily experience as we journey between our destinations. “Thoughtful public spaces enhance our daily experience as we journey between our destinations. They are brand touchpoints expressing an organization’s personality and grace toward employees and visitors alike;” said Christophe Pillet. “I designed Borough to create excitement in a space. To be welcoming and comfortable for people meeting and talking for extended periods of time. And to create an experience – a feeling, a touch, an emotion.”
Cesto, Spanish for “basket,” is a collection of interactive seating and table elements designed to address the dynamic collaborative and social behaviors typical of today’s work environment. "For me, Cesto is all about freedom and flexibility,” said Khodi Feiz. “The flexibility to gather and collaborate spontaneously. Freely reconfiguring and morphing into settings depending on your needs throughout the day. Creating a dynamic and effective layout reflective of today's social work. This freedom also extends into the different functional typologies, into the coloring and material choices and their compositions."
In addition to Borough and Cesto, Studio TK showed the Beso, Pala, Nina and Kalm seating collections by Artifort at NeoCon. Studio TK’s new showroom – #1041 – is located on the tenth floor of The Merchandise Mart in Chicago.
The winners of the 2018 Best of NeoCon Competition were announced on Monday, June 11, during an awards breakfast in Chicago. Eighty-one awards were distributed in this year’s competition of contract furnishing products, including eight Innovation Awards. The Best of NeoCon Competition is sponsored by Contract magazine, NeoCon and The McMorrow Reports.
