M2 Monitor Arm Receives Focus In Silver Award
10.28.09 | New York, NY | Humanscale’s M2 monitor arm received a “Focus in Silver” award from Focus
Open 2009, the 10th installment of Design Center Stuttgart’s
Baden-Württemberg International Design Awards. Accepting entries from the
widest variety of industries in the history of the distinguished
competition, the 2009 awards attracted more than 400 submissions from
manufacturers and designers all over the world.
The Baden-Württemberg International Design Awards are highly sought after as endorsements of the highest design quality. Awarded to “excellently designed products,” the “Focus in Silver” award distinguishes “all those products whose outstanding design quality makes them the best in any one category.” As winner of a “Focus in Silver,” the M2 adds to its already-long list of awards for superior product design, including a Best of NeoCon Gold, a Product Innovations Awards Grand Prize from Buildings Magazine, and the Best Ergonomic Solution distinction at Mixology09.
The M2’s advanced engineering promises to revolutionize the dynamic monitor arm category. Utilizing a high-performance mechanical springinstead of a bulky, failure-prone gas cylinderthe M2 offers dynamic adjustability in an ultra-slim and eco-conscious design.
The M2 offers a remarkably long serviceable life and is backed by Humanscale’s 15-year 24/7 warranty. Made of 52% recycled and 99% recyclable materialsincluding significant use of 100% recycled aluminumthe M2 can contribute to a number of valuable LEED credits.
Linked to a specific theme or “focus” for their first nine years of existence, the Baden-Württemberg International Design Awards opened entry to all interested participants in 2009. Award winners were announced at a ceremony on Oct. 16, and an exhibition featuring the winning designs will be on display from Oct. 17 through Nov. 29, 2009.
