Fun at NeoCon

Happy Monday! Our team had a great time in Chicago this past week exploring the city and getting inspired by its architecture and, of course, by the creative showrooms at NeoCon. Their days were full of lunch meetings, exhibits, and dinner parties with industry professionals and our resident designer, Jake, snapped some great shots chronicling their trip.

We stopped by to see some of our favorite manufacturer showrooms, including OFS, Kimball, HON, BuzziSpace, Trendway, Arcadia, and Izzy+.

The guys spent some quality time getting up close and personal with the products and learning about all their options.

The team also got a good dose of big city inspiration from the amazing Chicago architecture. Hours of exploration and great weather led to these awesome building snapshots.

After a few delays and a cancelled flight, our guys were on their way back to Portland to get to work! Come check us out to get some more information on these awesome brands shown at the conference and let us outfit your space with the best of the best in modern furniture.

So You Want Something Different? Here It Is!

Speaking of fun and innovative things, we recently ordered some colorful cubes for our showroom from BuzziSpace. These short stools come in a wide variety of bright hues and may be customized by size and amount of 3D squares in the pattern (see specs below). BuzziSpace offers a family of unique products from wall-coverings to benches to chairs and couches. Their fabric of choice is a fuzzy felt which is the perfect solution for a modern addition to the office. We went with a fresh orange color to compliment the cool blues in our space and they should be in soon! Check back for photos!

In the mean time, here's a look at some other fun products offered by the European manufacturer.

BuzziWings

BuzziSpace is all about modern designs built with eco-friendliness, acoustics and flexibility in mind. They use recycled and soundproof materials to create a variety of products that effectively reduce and absorb sound. BuzziWings boost acoustics with a touch of creativity, leaving your space with a functional yet appealing solution to noise control.

BuzziShade

These lamps have an elegant base and contrasting hood, done in BuzziFelt, that seems to float above it. The BuzziShade provides an intimate space that may be used in offices, waiting rooms, restaurants or as event furniture. Sound absorbing and environmentally friendly, these pieces were designed by four young furniture designers who studied in Belgium: Len de Paepe, Bob Segers, Tim Vranken and Jonas Blondeel.

BuzziMe

"Me, myself and I: there are times when you want to spend some time on your own in peace and quiet." BuzziMe is perfect for this. Belgian designer Axel Enthoven created an "ingenious look which harmoniously combines functionality and ergonomics." The chair has a swivel base, built-in light source, privacy sidewalls, and acoustic insulation made to reduce external noise. BuzziMe is the perfect chair for lobbies, airports and offices.
