“NeoCon, held annually at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago, attracts more than 51,000 visitors over three days. This year’s event was an important opportunity for us to introduce new products to an international audience and receive critical feedback from peers and clients,” says Luxxbox Managing Director, Jason Bird.

Acoustic Waffle Leaves

“The trade show marked a significant milestone for Luxxbox as we continue to expand into the North American market, providing holistic acoustic solutions to designers around the world.”

Running in conjunction with the event are a number of internationally-recognised awards in which the Australian design studio was nominated. Luxxbox’s latest noise-cancelling acoustic light, Blade, was awarded 2019 Honoree in Interior Design magazine’s HiP Awards, as well as Editor’s Choice and Grand Prize in BUILDINGS Product Innovation awards.

Receiving critical acclaim from the jury, Luxxbox also walked away with Silver for Acoustic Solutions in the Best of NeoCon Awards, with judges praising the depth of the acoustic lighting range, Casambi Bluetooth dimming integration and environmental-sustainability practices employed by Luxxbox.

“We strive to ensure our products combine unique manufacturing techniques and unconventional materials, with thought-provoking design integrity that champion authentic Australian design on a global scale. This aesthetic is recognised by design enthusiasts and professionals the world over,” says Bird.
