2014 NEOCON Report – take a virtual tour
NEOCON was colorized with fresh clean full spectrum color. It was the stage to thousands of designers and industry leaders who walked the floors wearing their own personal style as apparel fashion mirrored itself in showrooms. Here are some of our impressions:

•The trend to simplify was balanced with layering
•The open office continues to abandon panels creating a new platform for collaboration and interaction
•Acoustical screens, veils and treatment make openness work
•Art sees itself in products like patterned floor tiles and fabrics that have application on wall expanses
•Private offices and collaborative space co-exists with furniture that quickly multi-functions
•Wood has evolved with new looks and colors
•Seating is available in every size and shape – caution: test before specifying for comfort and ease in use
•Designers have not only color but also scale and geometry to work with – all in new ways
•Integrated technology and wire management are science
•Traditional design in commercial space is extinct
