(NYSE: KNL) has announced that Generation by Knoll has won a Gold award in the Best of NeoCon(R) 2009 competition of contract furnishing products. NeoCon, which was held June 15-17 in Chicago, is the industry's annual trade exposition. Generation by Knoll(TM), is the first work chair that allows you to sit and work the way you want. Designed by Formway Design, Generation by Knoll takes elastic design--where a product rearranges itself in response to its user--to a new level. Andrew Cogan, Knoll CEO, said, "Generation by Knoll moves as you move and is designed to respond to the way people really sit, including focused forward facing positions as well as seemingly unconventional postures. Generation by Knoll is all about being able to express yourself and your individuality." The Generation by Knoll Flex Back, Flex Top and Flex Seat, combined with the unique Dynamic Suspension control, facilitate comfort and a range of postures, including side sitting, throughout the work day.
