Pantone's Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is redefining workplaces and public interiors, creating welcoming spaces perfect for balancing bold accents or fostering calm, inclusive environments. NeoCon Exhibitor, Ultrafabrics, is embracing the quiet luxury of this inviting shade!

Exhibitor Spotlight

Designers are embracing rich and vibrant jewel tones to add sophistication to workspaces and public environments. NeoCon Exhibitor, Prostoria, uses rich hues like emerald, ruby, sapphire, and amethyst to bring depth and elegance, making a striking statement across upholstered seating, lounge chairs, and accent tables.

Exhibitor Spotlight

The new UTLX offices in Chicago are a strong example of how workplace design is evolving to meet both current and future needs. Designed by Whitney Architects, the space reflects a growing trend toward hospitality-inspired environments that encourage employees to return to the office for in-person connection and collaboration with the use of products from multiple NeoCon 2025 Exhibitors.

Exhibitor Spotlight
