Dauphin Recognized at NeoCon 2024

Dauphin HumanDesign® Group received awards from two groups during NeoCon 2024 events. Without giving an emotional acceptance speech, we want to take a minute to thank everyone on our team. We have so many caring, skilled, creative, and brilliant minds that we are fortunate enough to work with every day. We are able to deliver on our promises because of the skilled manufacturing team, because of our warm and helpful customer service team, and because of everyone else behind—and in front of—the scenes. 

Thank you!

Bevva Benches – Best of NeoCon Silver

Bevva Benches won a Silver award for Best of NeoCon!

The prestigious Best of NeoCon competition is NeoCon's official awards program that recognizes exceptional new products from show exhibitors. Since its establishment in 1990, Best of NeoCon has been a beacon of innovation, garnering a diverse array of entries across various commercial sectors, including workplace, healthcare, hospitality, and education. The program will bestow Gold and Silver awards alongside honors in innovation, sustainability, and business impact in 50 categories at a live awards event on Monday morning of NeoCon.

We're proud of Bevva Benches because they offer something different. At a time when the typical aesthetic is plush and even leaning toward maximalism, Bevva is a thoughtful counterpoint. Crisp and chic, Bevva has a more angular look while still offering an ergonomic and comfortable sit. Bevva can be specified in one-inch increments, making it an excellent contender for high-traffic areas, touchdown spaces, hybrid and lounge settings, and a great alternative to expensive millwork.

HiP Awards – Lifetime of HiPness, David Wright

We were so happy to accept the Lifetime of HiPness award for our veteran designer, the well-traveled and incredibly talented David Wright!

David has been working with furniture since he was a child in his father's woodshop, giving him an incredible 70+ years of experience and stories. From helping create a wooden car (which he regularly drove!) to building furniture for royalty, David absolutely deserves recognition for his lifetime of dedication to bringing design to life with people at the center of everything he does. 

Adriana Castro and Morks Estafanous (pictured above) accepted the award on his behalf as David was visiting his family in Scotland and not able to make it to NeoCon this year. We hear he celebrated his win regardless, and he deserves it!

The 11th annual INTERIOR DESIGN HiP Awards celebrated the products and people pushing boundaries and defining the future of design. It's not just an awards program; it's a tribute to the minds shaping our industry. This is the ultimate celebration of who’s HiP, what’s hot, and where it’s happening! Learn more here.
