This past year i+s featured hundreds of products online and in Insider newsletters that were trendy and purposeful across hospitality, healthcare, education, and commercial spaces. As 2024 nears its end, we look back on the top products you, our readers, loved on iands.design.
As we compiled the top five product stories, we realized a trend that our trade show coverage made the list twice with our Best of NeoCon and Salone del Mobile Milano coming in at numbers one and four, respectively. Trade show season is always a highlight for us as we see these amazing products firsthand and share the trends shaping interior design.
