Stance in Focus

It was a week of milestones and plenty to celebrate in Chicago, where Stance made its 15th appearance at NeoCon. The commercial design industry’s top event was a prime location to commemorate Stance’s 20th anniversary serving many of our partners in this space. We mingled and made new connections inside our brand-new showroom, where attendees experienced many of our beloved best-sellers and exciting new releases.

Our Stance team was proud to finally unveil our new showroom at The Mart, where all-new fabrics, finishings, and warm and inviting flooring enhanced the generous product selection and encouraged attendees to linger and enjoy the experience. And enjoy we did! For Stance colleagues Tracey Heimpel, Sawyer Levack, and Dana Amer, NeoCon ’26 marked their 25th, 5th, and first shows, respectively – more milestones to celebrate alongside industry peers, partners, and new friends.

Our 2026 new and coming-soon releases took the spotlight, receiving praise from attendees:

• Oakley seating and tables: The new Oakley Lounge and Guest Seating collections highlight Stance’s signature blend of durability and aesthetics. Sculpted, angled wood legs add warmth, while optional solid surface arm caps offer easy-to-clean functionality.

• Villa grows Stance’s occasional tables offering: Villa Occasional Tables pair a sleek laminate cone-shaped base with a durable thermofoil or solid surface top. The collection also features a steel bottom plate for durability that protects the base from damage and an optional built-in power for connectivity.

• Camber made its debut: Joining our popular portfolio of casegoods, spring 2026 new-release Camber offers sleek, convenient storage in multiple bedside table and wardrobe sizes. All cabinets feature ¾” backs in matching laminate, fully radiused and seamless tops and fronts, and steel drawer boxes for increased durability. Options for this modern collection include a solid surface top, black or brushed nickel pulls, and choice of single-finish or two-tone in white or grey for its Thermofoil front.

• New additions to the award-winning Flo series: Our Rocker, Occasional Table, Stool and Wardrobe wowed on display with new products offering the unexpected form, function and comfort of this highly durable, yet beautiful, rotationally-molded collection.

• First looks at coming-soon collections, Cleo and Tully also received great feedback!

In addition to showing off our new products, we enjoyed our Sunday evening gathering at Hampton Social – the conversation, vibe and mix of people was as fantastic as the lobster rolls and sliders served! We also enjoyed treating attendees to our sustainability bags, which were a big hit and gone by Monday morning.

After two decades manufacturing furniture in this space, it’s always exciting and inspiring to spend this time in Chicago – growing relationships, making new connections, and sharing our product knowledge. With healthcare at the core of our origin story, we’re fixated on continual learning – and passing on insights that empower others with a ‘healthcare lens’, even for commercial spaces. Stance products are built to healthcare-grade standards, and ready to perform, comfort, and support end-users anywhere.

We are already looking forward to next year’s show!
