Watson’s Edison Workbench won four Best of NeoCon Awards at this year’s NeoCon, the premier commercial interiors conference and exposition that took place June 10-12, in Chicago, Illinois.

NeoCon, North America’s largest design exhibition and conference for commercial interiors, is an annual tradeshow featuring over 400 international exhibitors. The Best of NeoCon Awards recognize innovative commercial products in the architecture and design community.

“Our team is proud of the work that went into developing such a remarkable product. Winning these awards affirms the intentional and timeless design behind the Edison Workbench,” Lucas Pearl, Watson's vice president of product development, said. “At its core, it’s a product that furthers our commitment to helping people do their best work in the office.”

The Edison Workbench is a scalable, height-adjustable benching system that can be specified as a two-pack, four-pack, or more, by adding workbench segments to a run. It can be easily reconfigured without the need for complicated installation, or additional parts. The ability to change over time eases the burden on facility managers and business owners when office staffing density shifts. The workbench comes standard with an under-surface bag hook, and supports accessories like planters, lighting, personal storage options, and privacy screens all at an intentionally accessible price point.
