Each June, NeoCon transforms THE MART into the global epicenter of commercial interiors. With over 450 exhibitors across sectors including workplace, healthcare, education, hospitality, and public space, the event is a launchpad for innovation. Among the many voices shaping this year’s narrative, five brands stand out for their design clarity, manufacturing excellence, and thoughtful approach to materials.
Corston USA LLC
Originally founded in Wiltshire, UK, Corston brings cohesion to interior detailing with a unified range of premium switches, outlets, lighting, and hardware. Now entering the U.S. market after two years of product development, the brand offers pieces in bronze, antique brass, and polished nickel, each designed to work together. Every item is developed in-house using solid brass and refined techniques, delivering a balance of performance and understated European elegance.
Homecrest Outdoor Living
Known for its high-performance commercial outdoor furniture, Homecrest has long been a trusted partner across hospitality, senior living, and multi-family developments. The brand emphasizes American manufacturing, modular design, and long-term durability, with a product offering allowing full outdoor project specifications from a single source. Their collaborative process with designers and architects ensures tailored solutions with both form and function in mind.
Martin Brattrud
With roots in a small Southern California framing shop, Martin Brattrud has evolved into a global supplier of handcrafted seating and tables. Every piece is manufactured domestically, reflecting a deep commitment to quality and craftsmanship. By working closely with leading designers, the company continues to push boundaries in contract furniture while maintaining a strong service culture as an employee-owned business.
Okamura
Okamura delivers flexible solutions designed for modern functionality, from adaptive workspaces to cultural and healthcare environments. Their collections span office systems, seating, educational and institutional furnishings, focusing on ergonomics, sustainability, and international design principles. The brand’s presence at NeoCon reflects its reputation for creating thoughtful environments where design and efficiency intersect.
Prostoria
Prostoria, based in Croatia, has quickly established itself as a leader in research-driven furniture design. What began as a small upholstery studio is now an advanced industrial operation where manufacturing, prototyping, and sustainability converge. By producing everything in-house and working with natural, long-lasting materials, Prostoria offers furniture with enduring aesthetic and functional value.
