Martin Brattrud showed what eight decades of design and upholstery expertise actually looks like in practice
Redondo, designed by Brad Ascalon: A sofa, settee, and lounge chair collection built around soft organic forms and the kind of upholstery precision Martin Brattrud has spent 80 years perfecting. The cord welt detail traces the arm panel with quiet intention. Sculpture and craft in equal measure.
Hermosa, designed by Brian Graham: Compact scale, rich material mix, and an application-driven logic that makes it genuinely versatile. Personal seating and side tables share a common metal frame, minimizing floor contact and simplifying serviceability. Outer panels in solid wood or solid surface, integrated power-ready tables in ash, walnut, or solid surface, and a refreshed palette of matte powder coat finishes. Hermosa does a lot of work without looking like it is trying.
Miramar: Brought to the floor in a new expression this year, and if you did not look at the back, you missed half the story. Leave the back exposed. It deserves it.
New Anacapa extensions rounded out a showroom that felt, like Martin Brattrud always does, completely assured.
And just like that, NeoCon is over. There's something special about watching our city become the center of the industry for a week. The work our manufacturers brought to Chicago this year was remarkable, and we're proud to represent every one of them. Thank you to everyone who walked the showrooms with us, shared ideas, caught up between appointments, and made time to connect.

There are showrooms you visit and showrooms you return to. Martin Brattrud's is the latter.
347, third floor. The craft is unmatched; upholstery at the highest level, combinations that consistently surprise, and a presentation that manages to make beloved pieces feel newly discovered. New additions to the Anacapa collection this year and other new introductions make it an essential stop.
If you know Martin Brattrud you know what to expect. They'll exceed it anyway. We'd love to walk you through, get in touch.

A little calm before the storm. We got a breath of fresh air with a team lunch at Blue Door Kitchen before the NeoCon rush. Great food, great company, and the team is aligned and ready to go!
Stay tuned for the ‘after’ photo next week. 👀

Mizetto earned attention with their approach to recycling solutions, beautifully designed, endlessly functional. But they never stopped there.
Planters. Modular lounge seating. Shelving that doubles as a room divider. This year, Cut - a spectacular solid wood table. A creative range that keeps expanding without ever losing the thread of what makes Mizetto distinctly Mizetto: design forward, playful, and never kitschy. The Scandinavian restraint is always present underneath the wit.
3-121, third floor. One of our favorite showrooms to walk through because you never quite know what you'll find. Come with us, reach out and let's explore it together.
