H o s p i t a l i t y & D e s i g n S h o w D a i l y 9 W e d n e s d a y, J u n e 1 7 , 2 0 1 5 A CLASSIC, UPDATED: BUZZIHUB OPEN Known for its forward-looking furnish- ings for work/life environments, BuzziSpace launches BuzziHub Open. Like the original, a lounge-like seat is enclosed within a three-walled environ- ment for individual or group privacy in open floor plan environments. The new design allows for greater connectivity to the workspaces with cut- away walls. By leaning forward or back, a guest in BuzziHub Open can choose to engage or disengage with the office envi- ronment. The pieces can also be paired in groups, to create a temporary conference zone. As the piece is made from BuzziSpace's range of acoustically-smart materials, BuzziHub Open manages sound. A light fixture illuminates the back wall of the unit, adding softness and flexibility. One or both side walls of the hub can be cut away, adding variety and customizable levels of privacy. About BuzziSpace BuzziSpace meets the challenges of the collaborative workspace with products that inspire interaction through simple, sustainable, and acoustically-driven design. With offices in Belgium and the U.S., the young brand is committed to authentic, solution-based product devel- opment, outfitting some of the world's most innovative brands. Through careful selection of materials, BuzziSpace ensures all products meet the highest- standards of performance and environ- mental stewardship. NATURE THAT SHINES Hardwoods Specialty Products is known as the company that has "enhanced the beauty of nature" with its Echo Wood products. Now, Hardwoods is making "nature shine" with REFLEKT. REFLEKT offers designers the very best in scratch resistant high gloss acrylic surfaces. These beautiful, color rich pan- els offer limitless creative potential for interior vertical surface installations as kitchen cabinets, vanities, closets, furni- ture, fixtures and displays. REFLEKT is a breakthrough prod- uct in high gloss acrylic panels. Using a convergent manufacturing system, Hardwoods is able to deliver an impecca- ble surface consistency and a richness found in the colors that enhance the depth and clarity of the panel. A UV stabiliza- tion process is used to ensure that the col- ors you see today are the colors you will see tomorrow. Echo Wood is the pride of Hardwoods and has recently added three beautiful new designs to the collection: Slate, Sandstone and African Wenge. The consistency of color and pattern in the new designs are perfect for large-scale projects because every color and grain in the new wood veneer weave together seamlessly. This provides a panel that makes it easy to match up design compo- nents and unify existing Echo Wood proj- ects without having to start over. Let Hardwoods re-inspire you with the beauty and consistency you will always find in Echo Wood Veneers.

For maximum visual continuity, a line of special opaque Varia Ecoresin was devel- oped, concealing any changes in lighting, color or texture behind the wall panels. "These systems are a clean presenta- tion elevating 3form wall solutions well above traditional wall coverings," said Jill Canales, 3form VP of Design. Box Wall is a three-dimensional framed wall system. This attractive solu- tion, featuring large-scale panels of Varia Ecoresin, can be attached directly to a wall or act as a freestanding unit, much like a partition. Clad Wall has a lower profile and is applied directly to the wall like tra- ditional cladding, without a frame system. About 3form 3form is a leading manufacturer of award- winning, sustainable building materials that meet architectural challenges. Its range, including Varia Ecoresin, the brand's flag- ship material, XT and Infinite Glass, allow architects and interior designers to build diverse, fully-customizable indoor and out- door focal pieces, while managing structur- al and budgetary needs. Programs like Full Circle (supporting international artisans) and Path to Zero (tracking zero-carbon by 2017) underscore its commitment to responsible design, globally.

Founded in Chicago in 2013, Gramovox re-imagines vintage A/V equipment into functional contemporary art and fuses classic and modern aesthet- ics in timeless, high-quality pieces that allow you to stream nostalgia. Its debut product is the Gramovox Bluetooth Gramophone, which is inspired by the sound and design of the horn speakers of the 1920s. Its steel S- curve horn is acoustically optimized to brilliantly amplify music generated from the walnut wood base, which is hand- selected by master wood craftsmen in the Midwest. The Bluetooth Gramophone is equipped with a custom printed circuit board (PCB) with a Bluetooth 4.0 mod- ule, which allows you to stream within a 33-foot range. Gramovox launched the Bluetooth Gramophone with a highly successful Kickstarter campaign that more than doubled its initial goal, and the device beautifully marries old and new by reimagining the quintessential ele- gance of the Magnavox R3 gramophone. More than 50,000 architecture and design professionals from around the world attend NeoCon each year. Featuring more than 700 showrooms and exhibitors, it is the premier discovery destination for innovative products. Gramovox will be showcasing its audio products at booth #8-5062 on the eighth floor of the Merchandise Mart. "We are incredibly excited to share our one-of-a-kind American nostalgia products at NeoCon," said Pavan Bapu, CEO and Co-Founder of Gramovox. "This is the ideal convention for a pio- neering design company like ours." About Gramovox Headquartered in Chicago's Merchandise Mart, the company gradu- ated from the 1871 startup incubator space and forged key retail partnerships that have rapidly increased the brand's global exposure. In 2014, eBay selected Gramovox to be part of its Innovators Collective, a distinct landing page dedi- cated to select products created by small business entrepreneurs. In February 2015, Gramovox announced a retail partnership with Shinola, a Detroit- based lifestyle brand dedicated to high- quality American manufacturing and luxury goods. All six Shinola retail stores across the United States now carry the Bluetooth Gramophone.

DILIM: A CONTEMPORARY SLICE OF LIFE Dilim™ was created to offer a wide range of group and cluster seating options in a variety of office and com- mercial settings. The individual seating "slices" can be specified as single com- ponents, or ganged to create an infinite combination of extended or smaller-sized seating options. The striking back-to-back version offers maximum seating capacity within limited spaces and can be specified with matching or contrasting fabrics to create a lively design statement. The high-back version offers privacy, resting comfort and a higher level of acoustical privacy when desired. The idea of multiple micro-environments informs the design concept behind Dilim, as the many com- binations possible with the product line allow for myriad component changes to tailor seating options to rapidly changing public or office settings. Integrated tables, arms and power kit complete the product menu. Dilim's con- temporary lines are ergonomically com- patible with the needs of all users. In col- laboration with noted Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat, Koleksiyon's products also feature dynamic new con- tract fabrics by Kvadrat to be launched at NeoCon. Founded more than 40 years ago, Koleksiyon has built its culture of collab- oration through its work with artists, architects and designers. This vision was established by Faruk Malhan, Founder and architect. He believes that design is well-executed only when attention-to- detail is equally balanced with an intrin- sic respect for materials, that an artistic eye is a companion to industrial design excellence, and lastly, that work and life are equally informed by culture. These elements have combined to inform the brand and celebrate the human form. This holistic approach differentiates the brand in the North American market; and enables the customer to experience Koleksiyon from a unique and differenti- ated perspective.
