Tradeshow Trends 2023

Salone, Clerkenwell, and NeoCon/Design Days
Three Tradeshows, Endless Inspiration

Spanning over three months and three different countries, the Insidesource team explored the latest and greatest in design and connected with our clients and vendor partners from across the globe.

Despite their distinct locations and dispositions, it was evident that the idea of “people-first” was at the heart of 2023’s design trends across all three shows.

We saw a renewed dedication to employee empowerment, wellness, and comfort, which was exemplified in four overarching trends: curved and comfortable furniture, a commitment to sustainability and wellness, flexibility and multi-purpose design, and bold pieces that make a statement. Here are a few of our standout picks from each trade show.
