Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) June 13, 2014 -- The new MVMT™ ergonomic seating line from BioFit Engineered Products was recognized with two awards this week in Chicago during NeoCon 2014, the North American contract furnishing industry’s largest annual show. In a juried competition sponsored by Contract magazine, the MVMT line was selected as a 2014 Best of NeoCon Innovation Award winner, while judges from Buildings magazine chose the seating line as a 2014 Product Innovations Merit Award winner in the Seating Options category.
