About MyPlace Lounge Collection:

A simple, adaptive, configurable lounge system, MyPlace supports both private and open planning and serves as a backbone, accommodating a variety of work styles from individual, focus areas to open regenerative spaces. Its flexibility creates areas for small, private group work but transforms easily into larger configurations for large group and lounge environments.

MyPlace allows you to work, relax, learn, focus, socialize, and collaborate in environments tailored to your needs. It offers power at your fingertips, providing power throughout an entire lounge area. Varying panel heights create levels of privacy and space differentiation. 48” panels can be used to divide space without inhibiting communication; 64” high panels increase privacy levels.

Simple, curved and flat geometric shapes come together in a harmonious design theme. MyPlace is a sophisticated and adaptive lounge system for all environments, from personal and private, to open group settings. It can be specified with unique combinations of color, texture, and material.

In addition to awards, NeoCon attendees were encouraged to participate in KI's #NeoConography contest. For the fifth year, KI hosted #NeoConography- a photography contest designed to showcase the creativity of NeoCon attendees. Nearly 500 photos were shot and tagged with the #NeoConography hashtag and shared with KI on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest for the chance to win a custom NeoCon-inspired watch and photo book. View photos >
