FEEK Out!

Check out the newest thing to come out of Trendway! Feek is a European product which utilizes coated foam to create unique pieces of furniture in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The pieces are flexible, functional, and futuristic - the perfect fit for your modern office, home, library, or retail space. Feek is tailor made to your project and the colors are all so fresh and trendy.




































Since 2003, Feek has been a pioneer in furniture design using surprising new materials. It all started with foam products, which after 10 years has resulted in a completely new approach to the furniture, interior, and building industry. Feek offers a wide range of award winning designs, materials, products and processes. Foam coating, known as “rock face", uses the latest developments in the world of 3D foam and surface techniques. Feek's material is made from a range of polyurethane-based lacquer systems which is easy to maintain and will take on any shape.




































We first caught wind of this exciting new product a few months ago, but were lucky enough to check it out in person at this year's NeoCon exhibition as Jake snapped some shots inside the Trendway showroom. Contact us for more info on how to snag this awesome product for your space - available to order in mid July!

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.

NeoCon 2013

Check back in mid June for first hand exhibit notes from our design team!
As you probably know, NeoCon is coming up once again and we can't wait to check out all of the innovative products to be showcased this year! If you're not familiar with the event, NeoCon started in 1969 and is ultimately where the contract industry kicks off its year. Thousands of products and resources for hospitality, healthcare, retail, government, institutional and residential interiors are shown in more than 700 showrooms from various exhibitors. The conference is "North America's largest design exposition for commercial interiors, providing over 40,000 architecture and design professionals with nearly 100 CEU-accredited seminars, association forums and top-notch keynote speakers."

As a part of the design community, we're sending three of our team members to the conference this June to check it all out. This way, we'll have a fresh take on the current and upcoming direction of the industry. Our design/sales team will spend the week checking out various seminars, mingling with other firms, and finding inspiration in the newest interior products. We'll expect to see just about everything from building products to files and storage to wall treatments and lighting. And, of course, a good helping of uniquely modern furniture.

Here's a short list of some vendors expected at Chicago's NeoCon 2013:

BuzziSpace
Arcadia
Chemetal
Izzy+
HON
OFS Brands
SitOnIt
Workrite
Humanscale
