This article presents information on award-winning designer Richard Holbrook. Holbrook debuted a new collection of home/office furniture at the fair inspired by the look, lightweight design, and strength of classic Gibson guitars. The first item, Lucy, is a compact desk with an overhead shelf and coordinated work tools. The products are based on a new "hollowbody" tabtetop construction that creates a lightweight, rigid structure by fusing a thin, contoured, multiply top skin with a peripheral frame and bottom skin.

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.

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.

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.

Lensvelt, the Dutch manufacturer of office furniture dedicated to contemporary design and production methods, enlisted Arets to design both its headquarters and a new product line.

The storage system was specifically designed to divide space while maintaining acoustic integrity to the open plan.
