BOSTON STAGES ANOTHER NEOCONT’D … Allsteel and Reflex Lighting united the Boston A+D community for the 2010 edition of “NeoCont’d: Boston,” a mini-expo showcasing products that were launched this past June at NeoCon in Chicago. According to Amy Hill, Allsteel Architecture & Design specialist, who helped organize the event, more than 300 filed through the Reflex showroom where guests enjoyed live reggae music, snacks and cocktails while viewing some of the latest commercial design products. Nearly 20 exhibitors participated including: 3form, Allsteel, Crossville, Designtex, EarthSaver, Edelman Leather, Forbo, Jelinek Cork Group, Laticrete, Maharam, Nora, Nydree Flooring, Amerlux Lighting, Neidhardt Lighting, Ritz Associates, Smith & Fong Plyboo, Tandus Flooring, USG, Wilsonart and Workrite Ergonomics. The night culminated with prize giveaways including a $750 travel voucher and an iPad. “The inaugural event last year was so successful,” said Hill, “it was an easy decision to bring it back this year. Events like these really give us a sense that the design community is gaining momentum again.” Among attendees were (l to r) Justine Sterling of Sterling Design, Nijapa Hamilton of Pangean Design Consulting Services, and Katy Kilpatrick of 3form.
