Delights of NeoCon – Part 2
6.29.09 | Overall:
Perhaps a better reflection of seeing the glass half-full – as many
speculated on low attendance and open corridors – I was taken at
the energy and vitality of this year's show amidst the backdrop of
layoffs and slow movement in the industry. There was smart product to be
seen and many shared a sense of optimism directed toward next year's
market performance.
Herman Miller Announces Acquisition Of Nemschoff
6.29.09 | Around July, 2007, Elizabeth Nickels, EVP, left her position as Herman Miller CFO to become president of Herman Miller Healthcare, replacing the retiring Charlie Varanian. On February 8, 2008, Herman Miller completed its acquisition of Brandrud Furniture, a healthcare furniture manufacturer based in Seattle, WA, with 2007 revenues of around $20 million; the terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Jeanne Gang: Density as Design-Essential
6.29.09| After a weekend filled with pre-NeoCon events and parties, it’s not easy
getting folks to commit to an hour-long lecture over lunch on Monday. But
a good-sized crowd did commit when the speaker is none other that Chicago
starchitect Jeanne Gang.
IIDA Southern California Chapter
6.29.09 | When Barbara Dunn, FIIDA, Principal of Gensler’s Los Angeles office, was announced president-elect of IIDA’s Southern California Chapter, we all knew it would be an exciting year. She has always been known to bring people and good ideas together, while at the same time promoting the power of great design. The proof in her vision came at the organization's annual meeting during NeoCon at the Museum of Contemporary Art when IIDA announced the Southern California Chapter as the winner in the category of Large Chapter of the Year.

A Minute with Ira Joe
6.29.09 | Spring was not acting its age. The Sunday afternoon was gray-cold with a bone-brushing dampness. I sat in a high-ceilinged room of a lovely New England colonial house listening to a poet read from her new collection. The poems were lovely and tried to warm the air. I took particular delight in one line that tossed out the word “anemones.” I lost the rest of the poem as I thought, “What a great word. ‘Anemones.’

Delights of NeoCon WTF 09
6.21.09 | Our NeoCon WTF 09 was terrific. How was yours? Sure, we got rained on a couple of times, literally and figuratively, but that didn't dampen our spirits. (As our old First Sergeant used to tell us as we were doing push ups and jumping jacks after 3 hours in the rain, “You're not made of sugar; you won't melt.”) Crowds? You bet: We had to wait to get into Knoll, and then shoulder our way through, and that was true for Allsteel/Gunlocke, Global and many others, to say nothing of the impenetrable crowd waiting for a taxi about 5:00 pm during the refreshing Midwest downpour. (We didn't wait, but where are those Allsteel pedishaws when you need them?)
Best of NeoCon 2009
6.21.09 | Best of NeoCon is by far the most rigorous and most significant annual assessment of what is happening in general U.S. contract furniture product developments. Other competitions of general scope (i.e., excluding, for example, the Nightengale Awards in healthcare) in this area probably can be, and should be, ignored as mere marketing exercises.

Allsteel/Ahrend Relationship Bears Fruit
6.21.09 | Allsteel and Ahrend are moving forward with their five-year alliance, but reshaping it in response to their experiences in the global markets in which they have been working together. The two companies will continue to partner closely on global opportunities – including those in the United States – supporting and servicing their respective global customers. They will no longer maintain their exclusive distribution relationship.
