Winner of Best in Show at this week’s NeoCon, the Openest Collection by Patricia Urquiola for Haworth is an ensemble of products for collaborative spaces where people work or relax. 

The Openest Collection includes sofas, pouf seating, tables and space-dividing screens that offer design flexibility.

These inclusive lounge elements function as single pieces with different purposes or integrate in an open plan to create innovative environments that bring furniture and collaborative tools together.

Graceful yet practical, Openest creates an environment of approachable comfort, adapting to people's needs for interaction or time alone.  Curved lines and upholstery stitching invoke the craftsmanship of residential furniture; soft, familiar textiles put the body and mind at ease.  Openest presents a look that's neat and uncluttered while providing a refuge of functional furniture for working or relaxing.  Screens are made from supportive recyclable material sandwiched between soft, familiar textiles.

Used together or alone, The Openest Collection provides a mix of furniture elements that help organizations customize a space for a variety of activities.  Sofas, poufs and screens can be configured in a range of applications that create visual privacy in collaborative areas.  The comfortable sofas and poufs invite users to sit and relax while collaborating with others or working alone; three screen configurations provide visual privacy in open spaces.

Openest sofas and poufs carry a 12-year warranty for 24/7 multiple shift use by persons up to 325 lbs - this includes the framework, mechanisms, seating foam seat, back mesh, seating glides and casters.  The tables have a lifetime warranty and screens offer a one-year warranty.  Openest will be BIFMA level 3 certified and all components will be manufactured in ISO14001 and zero landfill facilities.

Openest was awarded Best of NeoCon Gold in the Collaborative Collection category and Best of Show.
