Earlier this week, designers, architects, furniture makers and other forces of the design world came to Chicago from all over the globe to the Merchandise Mart for this year’s NeoCon. The tradeshow and conference aims to present new and effective ways to use the space around us. And one space where we spend a lot of time is the office.
