Catch up on the top five trends we saw at NeoCon this year ⬇️

1️⃣ 3D‑printed everything—especially natural materials that can be melted down and re‑formed.

2️⃣ Jewel tones. Rooms of emerald green and ruby red showed Millennial Grey is a thing of the past.

3️⃣ Midcentury influences. Speaking of the past, 1970s is back in prints while silhouettes are pulling from the postwar futurism.

4️⃣ Fidget furniture. Movement-friendly pieces designed with both style and neurodivergent users in mind.

5️⃣ Elevating craft. Frills, fluting, joinery. Whether it’s furniture or acoustic panels, decorative details are having a moment.
