Winner of the" Best of Competition" award at NeoCon 2002, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based furniture manufacturer Nucraft has enhanced its Origin product line by creating two groupings, Casegood Systems and Contemporary. Casegoods, to address the needs of multitasking executives. The most significant difference between the two groupings is the way in which technology accommodation and access to power and communications are achieved. While the Casegood System relies on the Tech Wall to house power and data connections, the Contemporary Casegood offering features a variety of simple technology accommodation and access capabilities that allow for greater configuration options and more attractive pricing.

The Grand Rapids, Michigan based furniture manufacturer Steelcase Inc.'s new midpriced office chair, Think, is designed with a three-part "brain," flexors that adapt to the user's movements, a reclining mechanism that creates resistance proportional to the user's individual weight, and an adjustable back selector. The company worked with McDonough Braunguart Design Chemistry to give the chair a "conscience," as well. Comprised of 98 percent recyclable content and up to 50 percent recycled material, Think is the greenest office chair on the market to date.
