Showroom 1091, The Mart, Chicago – June 7-10, 2026
At NeoCon 2026, Sandler will debut Spin, a sculptural modular seating system that transforms outdoor environments into immersive social spaces. The installation anchors a showroom focused on flexibility, biophilic design, and modular furniture that adapts to the evolving needs of hospitality and workplace interiors.
Introducing Spin
The spiral seating, designed by Brogliato Traverso, can be combined to create sinuous swirls or looping compositions. With a balance between geometric shapes and fluid forms, Spin blurs the line between furniture and public art.
Spin’s dynamism allows for restrained configurations as well as sprawling, grand structures, offering designers a bold way to shape spaces that define communal environments.
Flexible and biophilic
Also on show is Kawa, an adaptive modular series designed by Annie Lee of ENV in New York. Its name is the Japanese word for “river”, 川, the characters of which echo the flowing shapes of the seating elements.
With so many spaces becoming multifunctional and the rise of the hospitality-inspired office, Kawa was designed to have an outstanding ability to flex to meet the needs of the moment. The elements can nestle together to form large, striking configurations, but users can easily move them for their own comfort. By putting the power in guests’ hands to expand or contract the seating, Kawa is designed for spaces that shift between uses, be they social gatherings, breaks, or informal meetings.
Integrated planters add another dimension to Kawa, making it easy to invite nature indoors for biophilic design. With this texture and vitality, and its organic shapes, this series fosters more comfortable shared spaces.
Seating for all settings
Sandler’s showroom includes seating for dining, lounge, workplace, and other public environments, with an emphasis on comfort, durability, and material sustainability. It includes dramatic high backs, stackable models, executive chairs, recycled materials, and Greenguard Gold-certified products.
Modern modular
New for this year is the Klip banquette, also designed by Annie Lee from ENV. Thanks to how easy it is to reconfigure, this seating has a unique longevity. Hospitality venues and corporate spaces can rearrange Klip without needing to use any tools; none are necessary because of Klip’s clever quick-connect system.
As needs evolve, Klip can be repurposed with different backrest heights, armrests, and layouts. Klip can be reshuffled, including by joining units together to form longer benches and splitting them up for individual booths. Beyond the future-proofing, Klip also comes with benefits today; since it is manufactured domestically, it comes free of tariffs and overseas lead times.
Also on show is the curvaceous Molivo series. Its rounded silhouette gives this modular series an inviting warmth, and showroom visitors will appreciate its exceptional comfort.
Sandler’s showroom at The Mart is number 1091 on the tenth floor.
