Eleven Work Space by OFS captured a Best of NeoCon Gold Award in the benching furniture category. Swiss architect and designer Daniel Korb developed Eleven around a fundamental concept: “Furniture is Architecture on a Different Scale.” This inspires a seamless blend of furniture functionality, connectivity, storage, and media integration that harmonizes with interior architecture. Informed by the international style and an architect’s attention to detail, Eleven presents an adaptable, sustainable aesthetic that scales from private to collaborative and open spaces.

Slate by OFS won the Best of NeoCon Silver Award in the conference room furniture category. Slate creates efficient collaboration and sharing venues with boardroom amenities in the midst of open areas. Concise and intuitive, Slate provides media support, space division, collaboration tools, power, and storage in a seamless interface that helps people work together more effectively. The unit features handy interior storage with a flip-up door on top, a wastebasket below, and a refreshment station in between. Technology access is built into the work surface, and the wall supports a monitor for digital sharing and interaction.

Mile Marker by Carolina won the Best of NeoCon Silver Award in the healthcare furniture category. Mile Marker delivers forward-thinking solutions to positively impact the healing experience for caregivers, patients, and their families. With its insightful product offering and smart design, Mile Marker instinctively responds to differing needs in the healthcare landscape.
