If the commercial design world has a pulse, it beats in Chicago every June!

NeoCon 2026 returned to THE MART from June 8–10 (with a new Preview Day on June 7), bringing together more than 50,000 designers, architects, and workplace thinkers from across the globe.
For three days, 4 million square feet of ideas became a living, breathing snapshot of where work - and workplace design - is heading next!

This year’s theme, Where Design Connects, felt particularly on-point. Because if NeoCon 2026 proved anything, it’s that the future of the workplace isn’t about a single vision - it’s about possibilities.

“Ready-Made or Made for You? Built for Every Brief” – Spacestor’s way of saying: every project is a journey and requires a different solution to realise the desired result.

Inside, the showroom unfolded as a layered landscape - part gallery, part toolkit, part conversation. Whether visitors arrived with a fully formed concept or just the beginnings of a sketch, the space encouraged exploration at every level:

- Fast, accessible solutions with Spacestor [Edit]
- A configurable catalogue that’s ready to be customized
- Or a fully bespoke, co-created service with Creations by Spacestor

Because in today’s workplace, the spectrum matters as much as the solution.

The Launch: When the Idea Outgrows the Catalogue

We launched Creations by Spacestor - a new, concierge design experience built for the moments when off-the-shelf simply doesn’t cut it.

Every designer knows that moment. The one where the idea is stronger than anything currently in the market. Where the space demands something more honest, more expressive, more yours.

Creations exists for that exact point – and it flips the traditional process on its head! Not: “What product fits this space?” – but “What are you trying to achieve?”

From there, it becomes a creative partnership - designers, engineers, makers working side-by-side to turn sketches into precision-engineered reality.

Speed Meets Expression: Spacestor [Edit]

Contrasting to Creations, visitors could get hands-on with Spacestor [Edit] - our refined product collection designed for speed, simplicity, and accessibility.

Not every project needs reinvention. Sometimes, it needs clarity, ease and speed.

And that’s the balance Spacestor now strikes - made where it makes sense and made-for-you where it matters most!

NeoCon 2026 made one thing clear - designers need both ends of that spectrum, often within the same project.
