Trend Flash™ NeoCon 2014

June 10, 2014 By Trend Staff -

neocon-2014In today’s Trend Flash, Julie Smith Vincenti provides top-line trends for contract and commercial spaces from the annual NeoCon trade fair in Chicago. Noteworthy at NeoCon:

COLOR

  • Menswear influences were recast in bright colors and new fabrications
  • Ripe persimmon and fiery reds energized lounge, conference and executive spaces
  • The same was true of upbeat yellows
  • Blues looked new paired with either citrine or gray-cast purples
  • Metallic highlights—silver, gold and copper tones—dazzled in wall coverings, window coverings and upholstery

MATERIALS AND PATTERNS

  • Plank-shape modular floor tiles in a variety of widths stepped up floor patterns
  • Write-on glass replaced dry-erase boards
  • Best-quality leather held up when wrapped around drawer fronts, sofa backs
  • Wool/polyester embroidered wall coverings offered a tactile sensation
  • Diamond, dots, zigzag diffusers gave new shape to super-size LED sconces
  • Proven patterns in residential interiors—ikat, tribal patterns and embroideries—crossed over to lounge seating and conference stations

COLLABORATION & SOLUTIONS

  • Low-profile file cabinets (many with upholstered tops) facilitated collaboration
  • Lounging about: modular poufs and super-long sofas gained popularity
  • It’s quiet time! Acoustic solutions included sound-muffling and noise-reducing products for ceilings, windows and walls
  • Taking a page from the residential playbook, metal legs created open, airy environments
