Contract Magazine - July/August 2017 - 43
Distinguished by modern lines, sophisticated craftsmanship, and refined materials, the Halo collection of workplace furnishings from HALCON was named the 2017 Best of NeoCon Best of Competition. The 43-member jury selected Halo from 410 new products entered into the annual competition. The product team at HALCON, a familyowned furniture manufacturer based in Stewartville, Minnesota, consulted with designers at Gensler on the development of the collection. Halo was also honored with Gold Awards in both the HeightAdjustable Tables (page 61) and Conference Room Furniture (page 47) categories. Halo's height-adjustable conference tables are encircled by a signature protective perimeter, dubbed the Halo edge, which provides revolutionary impact resistance. The edge also offers connectivity through its integrated power via cleanly concealed wire management. The tables are available in a variety of surface sizes and base styles and with a full assortment of finishes, including wood, glass, stone, solid surfacing, and laminate. The collection's complementary sideboards- offered in multiple heights, widths, and depths- can be configured to meet a multitude of needs and are accompanied by modules that accommodate refrigeration, cutlery, wastebins, glassware, and more. Available in two seat depths and many sizes with an optional back, Halo's benching seamlessly integrates with the sideboard units, providing a solid counterpart. "Halo is special in a number of ways, beginning with the Halo edge, which protects table surfaces and seating from damage," says Ben Conway, president of HALCON. "The near-limitless range of materials and finishes allows Halo to be in nearly any environment. Halo is designed to look great in the boardroom and to also scale perfectly into small meeting spaces." -HAYLEY ARSENAULT contract
