A Gallery Showroom Experience of Tomorrow’s Designs at NeoCon

NeoCon is the preeminent event in North America for discovering the most innovative and inspiring product launches each year, but knowing where to start the search for what’s on trend can be daunting--especially across TheMart’s expansive show floors. This year, the first stop every designer needs to make is the i+s showroom (#10-109), where they can explore the key design trends that will shape commercial interiors in 2022 and beyond.

Curated by trend forecaster and design entrepreneur Stacy Garcia, this gallery experience will give specifiers a firsthand look at the colors, patterns, textures and products that are setting the bar for design now and in the years ahead. Attendees can also pick up a helpful map on which they can locate the showrooms throughout TheMart where these trends can be explored further.

Call for Submissions: Enter Your Products for Editorial Consideration

That’s where you, as a manufacturer/supplier, come in. We invite you to submit your latest product offerings which fit within the trends featured on this page. We don’t profess to have all the answers and will be leaving one trend open to reviewing all submissions which might not fit the trends identified here. Products selected will be featured within the i+s showroom during NeoCon as part of the Trend Futures exhibit, within a printed piece distributed at NeoCon and throughout the i+s digital realm – online and social.

How do you participate?

First, for every product you would like considered submit up to 5 product images along with 250-word description by March 31. You will be able to select which trend(s) your product applies to. We know many products for launch at NeoCon are in the early stages of development. Preliminary low-res images are acceptable for consideration at this point. If selected for final participation, we will request hi-res, print ready images by April 25.

If you are selected as contributing to one or more of the trends, you will need to provide a physical sample(s) for display within our showroom during NeoCon by June 1. Please note, samples may be on display for up to six months following NeoCon. i+s and Stacy Garcia Inc are not liable for any damage to samples due to installation.
