NeoCon Presentation Description: Color, Material and Finish (CMF) are the building blocks of design - but what are the new drivers influencing broader shifts beyond aesthetics? From lemonading to analoging-on, we will dive deeper into cultural drivers reshaping identities and environments, uncovering lifestyle shifts and new design directions. With a future-focused lens, this presentation draws from outside the industry inspiration, best in class examples, and unexpected influences to prepare designers and specifiers for future shifts in the commercial landscape.
