Vitamin B Boost: Neocon 2011

Chicago weather was beautiful as usual!!  We walked and walked and walked!!!  We stayed at the Palomar Chicago.  

We had a great corner view!

We got in Sunday, June 12th and we hit the streets shopping.  We went to see Jayson Home and Garden and it was even better in person!  


What a great idea, succulents in a basket!

 I loved these great little works of art!

 Stone Source had really cool wood grain tile in vibrant colors. http://www.stonesource.com/porcelain-selector/porcelain-detail/?id_porcelain=5956



Loved Benjamin Moore's display of color.  The dresses are made of painted canvas.


The Herman Miller Model Sayl Chair by Yves Béhar (he is so cute!!)


The actual Sayl Chair.

 Mood Chair by Cabot Wrenn 

 Flexx Chairs by Cabot Wrenn


Media Scape by Steelcase 


Cool workstation storage by Turnstone.  http://myturnstone.com/

This is my vote for the coolest showroom!

Johnsonite has cool new wood grain and stone millwork bases.

Shaw Contract 18x36 carpet tile

Neocon was busier this year compared to the past few years.  It's a good sign the economy is picking up.  The trend for office design is bench type workstations (low partitions) and workstations that are flexible and movable.  Nucraft has a great new flexible workstation.  Areas for teamwork or meeting areas and incorporating technology within the workstations and conferencing is still very important.  The trend in seating is modular, every manufacturer had their version of modular seating.  Can't wait to use some of these products in our designs! ~ Brandy
