SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 20, 2024 – PALMBERG, a leading manufacturer of office furniture, has won the Iconic Award 2019: Innovative Architecture - "Best of Best" for its innovative exhibition stand design at ORGATEC in Cologne.

The stand, designed in cooperation with the agency VOSS + FISCHER from Frankfurt, was praised by the jury for its creativity, originality, and ability to stand out from the competition.

"It is often the simple ideas that convince and remain in memory," said a PALMBERG representative.

The gaps in the wire mesh created a sense of lightness and aroused the curiosity of visitors, encouraging them to take a look inside the stand.
