Industry professionals and end users experienced the office ergonomics brand’s award-winning products firsthand as they sampled cocktails, canapés and calligraphy at Watermark’s harbourside location in Central.
October 20th, 2016
More than 160 people headed to Watermark on the evening of 6 October 2016 – they came to network with designers and architects, dealers, real estate firms and consumers, and to see Humanscale’s products up close. The event was Humanscale’s Global Roadshow 2016, which will visit a total of 24 cities, including Dubai, London, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Sydney, Paris, New York, Cape Town and Toronto.
On show at the Hong Kong event were a number of Humanscale’s high-performance, ergonomic products, services and accessories for the workspace, including Quickstand Ultra, Trea, SMART chairs and Office IQ. Horizon Colors was also on display, a vibrant collection of LED task lighting that has a permanent place in MoMA’s (the Museum of Modern Art) galleries. Guests also got to try their hand at calligraphy, and went in the running for some exciting giveaways.
Next on the tour are Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Philadelphia.
