PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Haskell Education announced today that the Pathmaker Table Collection has been honored with five Best of NeoCon Awards 2026, including an Innovation Award and People's Choice Award, two distinctions recognizing groundbreaking product design and innovation in the commercial furniture industry.
The Pathmaker Table Collection received the following honors:
- Best of NeoCon – Silver Award: Education Solutions
- Best of Neocon – Silver Award: Tables – Height Adjustable
- Best of NeoCon – Innovation Award
- Best of NeoCon – People Choice Award
- Best of NeoCon – Business Impact Award
The Pathmaker Table was also an Honoree for the Interior Design Magazines HiP award.
A hallmark of NeoCon since 1990, Best of NeoCon is the official awards program honoring outstanding new products from across a wide range of vertical markets. New product designs were evaluated on-site at THE MART in Chicago by a diverse jury of leading architects, designers, specifiers and facility managers with expertise spanning commercial, healthcare, education and hospitality sectors. Business Impact entrant finalists were further evaluated onsite by a panel of journalists from prestigious outlets such as Inc. Magazine, Crains Chicago Business, Forbes, DeZeen, Wirecutter, Architectural Record and more, with an emphasis on how product design can have a positive impact on the bottom line of any organization.
"It's rewarding to be recognized across these five categories including the Innovation Award. Our initial goal was to create a table where all students are welcome, regardless of ability. While a simple idea, this is the culmination of 3 years of research and development and represents the future of collaborative learning spaces," said Cristel Hutchinson, V.P of Sales at Haskell Education. "We are honored to be selected by these esteemed jury members. Seeing the Pathmaker Table recognized for its literal impact on the well-being of students and adults alike is just outstanding."
The Pathmaker Table represents a breakthrough in inclusive design as the first truly ADA-compliant table collection purpose-built for hands-on learning environments. Guided by universal design principles, the collection seamlessly integrates accessibility and equity into a large-format table without the need for special modifications or separate seating. When universal design principles are built into learning environments, students of all abilities can participate fully, reducing barriers to engagement. The Pathmaker Table provides a more equitable educational experience where every student can succeed.
Powered by easily changeable / rechargeable batteries, the Pathmaker Table allows for seamless adjustability from 29" to 42" accommodating all bodies while meeting multiple ADA requirements. A wide range of surface materials makes the collection ideal for numerous types of environments including maker spaces, culinary spaces, science and lab spaces as well as corporate / team environments.
