June’s

NeoCon

, at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, drew more than 50,000 visitors, a 5 percent increase from last year. Also on the rise was the amount of companies getting a toehold in the healthcare and wellness sectors. Just about every manufacturer who produces a table or desk—think

,

Krug

—had healthcare introductions, but there were new names to the game, too, such as

Arborite

Okamura

Herman Miller Healthcare/Nemschoff

, even designing hospital vignettes in their showrooms.
