NeoCon begins June 10th and the Office Snapshots team is ready to make the trip to Chicago to see what new furniture and trends may percolate into future office design projects.

While it seemed like a convergence of residential and commercial design dominated the last couple of shows, I would not be surprised to see more hospitality design vibes making themselves known this year. And of course there will be incremental additions and upgrades to products released in the past couple of years (2018, 2017, 2016).

We will be posting what we’re seeing to Instagram Stories (@officesnapshots) to help you navigate the craziness for those attending and experience the show from afar.

The team has compiled this guide of some of the new products being released from a variety of manufacturers that we hope will be helpful.

Have a great time at NeoCon 2019!
