Arcadia is pleased to announce that their Scenery Modular Collection is a 2021 GOOD DESIGN® award winner. Presented by The Chicago Athenaeum, together with The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, Good Design remains the oldest and world’s most recognized program for design excellence worldwide.
The museum received a record number of submissions this year, amounting to over 1,100 entrants from the world’s leading manufacturers, industrial designers and graphic design firms from over 55 countries. Products range from consumer to commercial products across categories such as electronics, building products/materials, medical equipment, household products, sports and recreation, furniture, and office products, among many others. Awarded corporations represent some of the world’s most visionary FORTUNE 500 and well-recognized private companies including Google, Dell, Coca-Cola, Netflix and Procter & Gamble.
“We are honored to be among this esteemed group of companies and congratulate Mark and David on this prestigious achievement,” says Casey Journigan, Arcadia President. “The recognition is a further testament to their talents and continues their legacy of creating award-winning designs.” In addition to earning multiple GOOD DESIGN® awards, the team has also been behind several Best of NeoCon winning products, as well as recipients of the International Design Excellence Award and the coveted IDSA – Design of the Decade award.
Scenery Modular itself is a collection designed to allow multiple and varied interactions at once. The interior seating area offers spacious comfort for collaboration and casual conversation while a ledge around the exterior perimeter serves as a work surface or perching rest. Whether specified with the upholstered ledge feature, a wood bridge, or as traditional modular seating, Scenery creates the ultimate focal point where communication, socialization and productivity thrive.
Introduced in 2019, Scenery Modular has already earned a top-spot as one of Arcadia’s most recognized products and now joins the 71st annual GOOD DESIGN® award roster.
