 No Creativity Crisis
NeoCon, Chicago
 

The NeoCon World’s Trade Fair took place in Chicago, June 15-17. The attendance was lower than the 50,000 people who turned out in 2008, but there was no drop in innovative new ideas to display. Environmentally savvy vendors displayed task chairs with weight-sensitive recline mechanisms that cut back on parts; and soy-based foam in stylized Egyptian chairs that were fit for a Pharaoh. Other design innovations included an adjustable-height desk, with a full range of sit-to-stand options. If the crowds were diluted by the current economy, it served to improve visibility of these designs and others, and the serious players that flocked to the show had an opportunity to peruse the ideas that will be at the forefront as our industry moves forward.
