throwing a curve
Look what’s snaking through The Mart! The Bay System, Foster +Partners’s latest collaboration with Poltrona Frau, encompasses two modular seating ranges. Gate is an efficient, high-density solution for short sits, so is wellsuited to lobbies and boarding gates (hence the name), while Lounge can be used in airports, too, but the modules are built to offer different levels of comfort, enclosure, and privacy, making it a versatile option for any number of applications. Head to the third floor and take a load off!
pump up the volume HiP Award–winning studio BuzziSpace debuts a hospitality- and workplace-friendly acousticpendant fixture that’s both illuminating and noise-dampening. BuzziBurner is equipped with a dimmable LED disc that can be fitted with a milky diffuser or a prismatic filter that emits orange and red hues—perfect for groovy vibes. A range of upholstery choices makes the pendant a pragmatic addition to any chaotic high-traffic zone...like, dare we say, the NeoCon hallways. space 10-111

let’s make some noise! No stranger to NeoCon, renowned textile designer Dorothy Cosonas returns to The Mart with her latest series, Quiet Riot, a seven-pattern upholstery and wallcovering collection for Wolf-Gordon. Five mills, each with a distinct skill set, were enlisted to produce the highperformance PVC-free series, which is graced with intricate interconnected linework that speaks to Cosonas’s far-reaching inspirations, from nature to fashion. space 10-161
beam me up, scotty Plush, plump, and pleasingly playful, Kenny Nguyen’s rounded and fully upholstered perch for Nienkämper drapes over an exposed wood beam that acts as a sturdy foot/base. Use Beam singly or spec the two- or three-person version, with or without the corresponding petite tables that can anchor rows or slip between the seats. The easygoing design’s low, compact footprint makes it ideal for lobbies and lounges. What’s not to like? space 365
In partnership with:
SANDOW Design Group’s First NeoCon—in partnership with The Mart, Interior Design, and Metropolis— welcomes 15 talented design professionals to experience the show for the very first time. This fully funded initiative offers a comprehensive itinerary led by industry notables and features editor-guided showroom tours and engaging roundtable discussions. Huge thanks to our sponsors for giving this select group the VIP treatment: Dauphin, Momentum, Narbutas, Nook, Scandinavian Spaces, Shaw Contract, Spec, and Turf!
Encompassing carpet tile, rugs, broadloom, and a coordinating LVT, Cultura was sparked by the Shaw Contract design team’s trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, to learn about local dyeing, weaving, and pottery techniques. Check it out in space 1014!
