Events NeoCon is the time that most new products, colorways, and innovations for the design industry are introduced. Here are a few cool things I saw while there.
This bench from LA based design firm Arktura is made with powdered coated steel. I love how light it looks with the cutout center. It’s looks lacy and delicate, even though it’s extremely sturdy.
This is a newly designed chair named Chakra from one of my favorite designers Karim Rashid for The Raynor Group. Definitely not your stereotypical chair. It was quite comfortable and came in many great colors!
I loved this light fixture in the Holly Hunt showroom! Absolutely breathtaking!
Another interesting chair from Dauphin. This chair was also comfortable and I like that it’s easy to clean because there are no nooks and crannies for food and trash to get caught in.
What do you think of the chairs? I did personally sit in both of them and they were comfortable, though the Karim Rashid one just seemed psychologically weird to sit in.

Events The NeoCon World Trade Fair is held at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. It’s a once a year event where over 700 exhibitors get together under one roof to show off their new and innovative design products. There’s everything from new flooring, office chairs, down to new color palettes from paint manufacturers and the next innovative hospital bed! You should know by now that I LOVE color. And I LOVE seeing lots of it at once. So don’t be surprised if I took lots of color pictures at NeoCon last week. I’ll do another recap later this week focusing more on products but here’s some color therapy for you:
I LOVE this color palette! It’s a nice dark blue violet with a touch of chartreuse. Gorgeous!
Love the display of their carpet!
Not only are these tables fabulous but that wall is AWESOME! Imagine having that as an accent wall in your dining room. Maybe the lights could change color depending on the mood!
