Among the new products Steelcase introduced at NeoCon2009, the World's Trade Fair for Interior Design and Facilities Management which was held in Chicago from June 15th to 17th, were new capabilities that enhance the innovative media:scape product line. Designed to facilitate connection and collaboration in the connected workplace, media:scape settings offer a collaboration point in the workplace that smoothes the integration of technology, to enable informal teams to get together and share information quickly and easily. c:scape, the companion solution to media:scape, is designed to enhance collaboration within the individual space.

The "walk-up and connect" experience of media:scape has been enhanced by the ability to host high definition videoconferencing systems, enabling distributed teams to view content and each other simultaneously, helping to boost team collaboration – locally and globally.

Also at NeoCon, the Steelcase family of companies won five Best of NeoCon awards, including two Gold awards, and two showroom awards. Denizen, a new collection of casegoods that fit as easily into the home as they do in the modern private office, won a Gold Award in the Case Goods: Desks & Credenzas category. It is made by Coalesse, Steelcase's premium life/work furnishings division. Coalesse also received a Silver award for Emu Heaven in the Seating: Guest category. This guest chair is part of the 100% recyclable Heaven collection, a complete line of metallic woven indoor/outdoor furniture.

Campfire Table by Turnstone, a Steelcase company, won a Gold Award in the Tables: Occasional category. Rounding out the list of winners for Steelcase Companies, Designtex was honored with the Innovation Award and Editors' Choice Award for Common Threads in the Carpet: Fiber category for its rugs collection.
