NeoCon Trend: A Return to Privacy

NeoCon—North America’s largest design expo and conference—happened last month in at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago. The top furniture designers, manufacturers, office design firms, and industry leaders attended and came together to discuss the latest office trends, problems, and big ideas for the future. Of all the trends and topics discussed, one theme was of particular interest to the majority of the attendees: a turn back to private, quiet workspaces from popular open office layouts. Acoustic furniture and sound-absorbing design options are perfect for any office or workspace. You can create quiet places for your team to get more work accomplished, host a one-on-one or small group meeting, or enjoy a cup of coffee on their break time. Whether you choose to incorporate this privacy trend in your current office by adding acoustic furniture to your layout, or you want to completely redesign your space as an completely quiet and focused office, here are some of our favorite furniture options we’ve shared with you to give your office the privacy treatment everyone is raving about.
