DesignDays and NeoCon 2023 didn’t disappoint! iSpace Environments sent 10 of our experts to Chicago to gather ideas and test products, firsthand. The goal: to stay up-to-date and help our clients deliver the most impactful experiences for their people. Altogether, our aligned partners won over 80 awards! There is a lot to be proud of and so many highlights.
Here are some of our favorites and themes we saw…

The collection features textiles inspired by nature and made with natural, renewable, domestic, recycled, biodegradable, and circular fiber systems. Metropolis Likes “Leaving Less to the Landfills”

Who ever said trash cans have to be boring? These mobile and practical solutions accentuate items that will have direct applications to a variety of spaces.

Naava Wall Plant Systems are not only beautiful, their carbon biofilters help purify the air. Research has proven these systems increase happiness and decrease stress.

Teknion had an entire zone dedicated to collaboration fatigue and refuge in their Chicago Showroom. These chairs gave quiet spaces to adjust to the activity, volume and pace of an active collaborative space.

Settle into this extraordinary, relaxed seat with articulated privacy for fewer interruptions.

Increased privacy and worksurface with room for more than just the essentials; this is a space that can support a longer stay, and more complex work requirements.

Designed to look and feel like residential seating; built to perform like a commercial product. The perfect way to escape collaboration and do some head down work or relaxing.

The Nomi collection is inherently agile and mobile with a sense of purpose, determination, and simplicity.

The Dove Collection is soft, inviting, and designed to merge natural, built, and recycled materials. Walnut and Ash hardwood frames support and cradle thermoformed recycled PET shells ergonomically designed to accept the human form.

An interesting way to incorporate curves and softness to a space. This chair speaks for itself and took home NeoCon’s sought-after Best of Competition Award.

Softness in texture and form. We saw this in both lounge and conference applications. And with casters built into the base, this elegant chair was easy to move around in.

Beautiful aesthetics and technical mastery for the hybrid meetings.

This cantilevered worksurface is sure to impress, and others agreed because it took home a NeoCon gold award.

We loved this modular lounge seating and how clean the design looked in the space. With a thinner width, we could see this in many different environments.

This unique system allows for 2 levels of seating. We didn’t see anything else quite like it and were surprised at how comfortable it was.

Sticking with the theme of curves, this modular system brought texture and brightness to the showroom. One piece of furniture provided division of space and multiple zones for people to meet.
