Neocon is like Disneyland for designers. There you will see some of the sexiest innovations in industrial design, textiles, interiors, lighting, and more! This year’s Neocon 2022 was no different. To get an idea of how cool it was to be at this year’s show, we are using Stacy Garcia’s, ‘Trend Futures’. This gallery showcased some of the hottest trends in interior aesthetics from leading innovators such as Scandinavian Spaces, Stylex, Andreu World, 3 Form, and others.
The exhibit explores the materials, colors, textures, products, and technologies within commercial spaces beyond 2023. These interior designs were curated to represent the buying habits of consumers based on predicted moods and behaviors. Let’s check out some of the displays.
