NeoCon 2026: Innovation, Connection, and Powering the Future of Design


Another NeoCon is in the books, and what an incredible week it was.

As the commercial interiors industry returned to THE MART in Chicago, designers, architects, facility professionals, dealers, and manufacturers came together to explore the ideas, products, and technologies shaping the future of workplace, hospitality, education, healthcare, and residential design. This year’s event highlighted the industry’s continued focus on human-centered innovation, flexibility, wellness, and integrated technology.

For Mockett, NeoCon 2026 was one of our most exciting and rewarding shows to date.

One of the highlights of the show was continuing our role as the Official Power Sponsor of the NeoCon Talks Lounge.

Doug at NeoCon Throughout the event, thousands of attendees gathered in the Lounge to recharge their devices, exchange ideas, and hear thought-provoking conversations from some of the design industry's most influential voices. The NeoCon Talks program has become a must-visit destination for meaningful discussions on emerging trends, technology, workplace evolution, creativity, and the future of design.

We were proud to help power those conversations, both literally and figuratively, by providing innovative charging and power solutions that kept attendees connected throughout the show.

NeoCon has always been an opportunity for us to introduce new ideas, gather feedback, and see firsthand how designers are responding to changing workplace and lifestyle needs.

This year, several new products quickly became visitor favorites.

The PCS138 features a refined profile, premium metal accents, and a clean architectural aesthetic. This unit delivers power access without compromising design. Visitors appreciated its ability to blend seamlessly into modern furniture applications while providing the functionality today's users expect.

The response confirmed what we already believed, that beautifully integrated power remains one of the most important components of contemporary furniture design.

The PCS93 remained one of the most talked-about solutions in our booth.

Its combination of accessible power, streamlined styling, and versatile application possibilities made it a favorite among designers looking for practical solutions that elevate the user experience. Whether specified for collaborative workspaces, hospitality environments, or executive settings, PCS93 continues to demonstrate why smart power integration is essential in modern interiors.

Among the biggest attention-getters was our newest kitchen pop-up power collection.

As kitchens continue evolving into multi-functional spaces for work, gathering, entertaining, and charging devices, designers are looking for solutions that provide power only when needed while preserving clean surfaces.

Our new pop-up series delivers exactly that, providing easy access to power and USB charging with a sleek, concealed appearance when not in use. Visitors loved the simplicity, convenience, and elegant integration possibilities for both residential and commercial environments.

The DP3 Series also generated significant interest among designers seeking clean, modern hardware solutions.

With contemporary styling, refined proportions, and versatile application opportunities, the collection offers a fresh option for projects requiring both visual appeal and dependable performance.

Its adaptability across workplace, hospitality, and residential applications made it one of the standout introductions of the show.

Another crowd favorite was our new collection of leather pulls.

As NeoCon trends continue to emphasize tactile materials, softer textures, and human-centered design, the addition of genuine leather details resonated strongly with visitors. Designers appreciated the combination of craftsmanship, warmth, and sophistication these pulls bring to cabinetry, furniture, and architectural millwork.

The collection provides an easy way to introduce texture and personality into a wide range of interiors.

Beyond these featured introductions, visitors explored a broad range of new products and enhancements across the Mockett collection. From integrated power and data solutions to architectural hardware and workspace accessories, our team showcased innovative products designed to support the evolving needs of designers, specifiers, and end users.

The overwhelming response reinforced our commitment to developing solutions that combine functionality, aesthetics, and ease of installation.

Innovation extends beyond products.

One of our favorite parts of NeoCon each year is connecting with the next generation of designers and supporting creative talent throughout the industry.

Our annual design competition once again showcased years of remarkable creativity, fresh perspectives, and innovative thinking. The quality of submissions continues to impress us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to help encourage emerging designers as they develop solutions for the future-built environment.

Congratulations to our 2025 Design Competition Winner, Lily Napierkowski for her multifunctional purse solution, Hooke.

While NeoCon gives us an opportunity to showcase new products, it also allows us to demonstrate something equally important: our commitment to customer service.

Throughout the show, our team spent countless hours meeting with designers, dealers, architects, manufacturers, and long-time customers. Those conversations reinforce what has always set Mockett apart: not only innovative products but also responsive support, product knowledge, and reliability that help make projects successful.

Whether visitors were exploring a new specification, searching for a unique solution, or simply reconnecting with our team, we're grateful for every conversation and every opportunity to help.

NeoCon 2026 was filled with energy, creativity, and optimism.

From sponsoring the NeoCon Talks Lounge and unveiling exciting new products to celebrating emerging design talent and strengthening relationships across the industry, the week reinforced our commitment to creating products that make spaces more functional, beautiful, and user-friendly.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, attended the Talks Lounge, and spent time with our team.

We're already working on what's next, and we can't wait to share it with you.

See you at NeoCon 2027.
