Bean Rockers Score Another Win for Knoend With the 2009 iF Product Design Award
January 15, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Knoend recently won the 2009 iF product design award for the bean rockers series of rocking seats.
The award is Knoend's second prominent design award received after the lite2go lamp won a Bronze IDEA award in 2008.
This year, 802 products were awarded the coveted iF product design award out of 2,808 entries submitted from 39 different countries.
The bean rockers were honored in the category of Home Furniture.
Along with the other winners for the year, they will be featured permanently on the iF award website, published in the 2009 iF yearbook, and will also be displayed at the iF Design Exhibition at the Hannover Exhibition Center from March through August in 2009.
The iF exhibition draws an annual 250,000 to 300,000 visitors.
The bean rockers feature a clean aesthetic and ergonomic design with consideration for health, posture, and breathing.
The rocking seats are designed to encourage shifting of posture and position in order to alleviate the stress and adverse health effects on the body caused by stagnancy in seating.
The consideration for user health fits right into Knoend's values of sustainability.
Winning the iF Product Award validates Knoend's dual vision of high quality design and environmental consciousness.
