More than 100 entrants participated in the annual awards, which were presented at NeoCon 2002, the world's largest trade fair for the commercial furnishings industry.

Sponsored by Contract Magazine, Facilities Design & Management and Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., Best of NeoCon awards are presented to leaders of innovation in interior product design.

"Monterey considers it a tremendous honor to have the Retro Collection selected as a Best of NeoCon Award winner," said Sue Ross, director of Product Design. "We are especially pleased to be recognized for the second year in a row."

The Retro Collection is a series of coordinated patterns that allows for four different scales and mixed textures to use as a styling tool in large projects or individually for smaller spaces, according to the company.

All award winners will be featured in the June issue of Contract Magazine.
