NeoCon® 2015 Koleksiyon debuted ReWork, its progressive and contemporary line of office furniture at NeoCon® 2015 which held in Chicago Illinois.

Koleksiyon received overwhelming response to their presence at NeoCon® 2015 from the design community, end-users, dealer community and media. With a fresh new perspective and products that evoke a unique and independent design language, Koleksiyon is refreshingly differentiated from standardized solutions commonly seen in this market.

The thematic focus of Koleksiyon’s 2200 square foot installation at NeoCon® 2015 was to present products primarily concerned within the “Open Work” theme. Studies indicate that many people without a permanent workspace believe that they are replaceable; and they are afraid of losing power or get the feeling of being constantly monitored. Koleksiyon presented its solution to this condition with Oblivion in the North Lobby of the Merchandise Mart.

Dubai Workspace 2015 The Workspace Fair which took place in May 2015 in Dubai World Trade Center, Koleksiyon was exhibited the new office lines.

Novel products are offered which can re-write the usual system of the office environment.

The new series include designs formed by units or modules which can create enormous sizes or can be shaped just as a module and easily replaceable. Koleksiyon aim to articulate contemporary approaches to work cultures as well as bringing its office designs to visitors across Dubai.
