The 7th Floor Exhibit Hall has been reimagined for 2026 into a category-driven "discovery destination". This floor is particularly significant as it hosts "Illuminate at NeoCon," a new show-within-a-show featuring over 50 global brands dedicated to architectural and technical lighting. Designers visiting this level will find a unique synergy between high-performance lighting and Award-winning Lucii chair ergonomic design, as modern office environments increasingly require integrated wellness solutions.
