Teknion Corporation today announced that four of its new products on display in its expanded and redesigned Merchandise Mart showroom were honored with prestigious Best of NeoCon Awards at NeoCon 2013, June 10-12, in Chicago. The Fractals Seating Group won Gold in the Seating: Collaborative/Work category as did the Surface Tension Collection in the Textiles: Upholstery category.

Designed by Jeffrey Bernett and Nicholas Dodziuk of CDS (Consultants for Design Strategy), Fractals Seating Group comprises a lounge chair, settee and ottoman/bench designed to support new organic planning in contemporary settings. The seating elements work together to create collaborative zones or other mini-environments in multiple cluster configurations. A higher-back option on the sofa and lounge chair more clearly delineates space and creates a greater sense of privacy. The modularity of Fractals permits a wide range of fabric combinations that allow for an expressive use of color, texture and material.
