Brody WorkLounge Garners Attention & Awards

With an engaged lounge posture and a privacy screen, The Brody WorkLounge offers both ergonomic support and psychological comfort.

Since its announcement last year, the Brody WorkLounge by Steelcase has garnered significant attention for its thoughtful design and exceptional seating support. Created to be good for your brain and good for your body, Brody provides privacy by sheltering users from visual distractions. The chair also brings ergonomic design to the lounge posture through patented LiveLumbar technology, as well as a work surface that holds technology at eye level to reduce neck and shoulder strain.

With the ability to focus being such a challenge for today’s workers and students, Brody has been received warmly for its privacy and support solution. In fact, in recent months Brody has been found on many awards lists and at major events.

In February, Brody was an absolute hit at TED, where over 1,000 people gathered to hear over 70 notable talks. Partners for more than 20 years, Steelcase collaborates with TED on the design and furnishings for various social settings, such as simulcast, group and individual. TED guests loved Brody so much that they streamed the conference live from their Brody, instead of returning to their assigned seats in the auditorium. Powerful graphics and looping videos supplemented the workplace solution with research and insights, while Steelcase staffers shared the company’s story with visitors.

Brody has been a valuable asset to Custer’s showroom, providing space for employees to work privately amidst the open office setting.

In addition to its debut at TED, the Brody WorkLounge has garnered admiration from several design and innovation leaders, including recently being named a Silver Winner at the 2016 Edison Awards. Named after Thomas Edison, the Edison Awards celebrate the best in innovation and are judged by a panel of more than 3,000 senior business executives, including past award winners, academics and leaders across industries. Brody WorkLounge was named a Silver Winner in the Office & Home section of the Living, Working & Learning Environments category. Previous Steelcase wins at the Edison Awards include a Bronze award for media:scape in 2011 and a Bronze award for Workspring in 2010.
