NeoCon returns to The Mart in Chicago from June 8 to 10, 2026, with a preview day on June 7. As one of the key platforms for commercial interiors in North America, the fair brings together manufacturers, designers, architects and decision-makers working on the evolution of workplace, healthcare, education, hospitality and public environments.
For Alegre Design, NeoCon is not only a trade fair. It is a place to read the market, understand how manufacturers are responding to new demands, and accompany companies whose products are moving from concept to industrial reality.
Long-term design criteria, applied across international workplace, hospitality and shared spaces.
Alegre Design at NeoCon
Alegre Design at NeoCon
Alegre Design will attend NeoCon 2026 through the presence of several companies with which the studio has developed recent and relevant design work. Each project reflects a different context, but the same underlying criterion: clear structure, technical precision, long-term usability and a close understanding of industrial production.
This presence reinforces the studio role as a design practice that accompanies companies throughout the development journey, from the definition of the product vision to its translation into reliable, market-ready solutions.
Several companies, one consistent design criterion
Several companies, one consistent design criterion
The projects connected to NeoCon show how Alegre Design applies the same design discipline across different manufacturers, product typologies and market expectations.
- Structural clarity
- Ergonomic and functional performance
- Industrial feasibility
- Durability over time
- A controlled, precise design language
Each design is approached as a complete system, where form, use, materials and production are developed together.

The project brings together technical precision, functional reliability and a controlled visual presence. Its intelligent backrest supports natural body movement and provides continuous lumbar support during long working days.
Within NeoCon, TNK500 AUREA speaks to the evolution of premium workplace seating: a product that does not rely on excess, but on proportion, material clarity and long-term performance.
KANO — X2
Office chair for evolving workplace environments
X2 is an ergonomic task chair developed for modern workspaces that require comfort, adaptability and industrial efficiency at an international scale.

Long-Term Perspective
Long-Term Perspective
NeoCon makes visible something that defines the way Alegre Design works: design is not understood as an isolated gesture, but as a sustained practice built with companies over time.
Through these projects, Alegre Design continues to support manufacturers in developing products that respond to real conditions of use, industrial constraints and long-term market relevance.
