In August, the SoCal chapter of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) hosted an exciting mini-trade show in San Diego. Office furniture manufacturers including Herman Miller, Knoll, and Steelcase supported the IIDA in showcasing the newest and brightest ideas in commercial interior design.

The event was called NeoCan’t – a play on the name of the famous NeoCon expo in Chicago. The IIDA created this event for those who couldn’t make the trek to Illinois. They selected the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center as the venue. No doubt good food and fine wine helped make this “consolation” trade show a success!

Over 200 attendees were present including designers, educators, and those just learning the art of interior design. Kimball Office was one of the manufacturers presenting new products at the expo. Their innovative Fit chair certainly gives off a laid back San Diego office furniture vibe. A reception area furnished with this vibrant, fashion forward seating would certainly make a lasting first impression.
