After a successful debut at ICFF in New York in May, San Francisco–based marketplace Wescover brought their Wescover Lounge to NeoCon in Chicago. Wescover, a marketplace of unique art and design sold directly by creators, appointed a space to serve as a hub for networking, learning and inspiration as part of its mission to support artisans and their original and sustainable works. Guests experienced how creators Fyrn, Model No, Mojow and Mother collaborated to display their products in an inspiring environment.
“We were thrilled to introduce our new product Forest at the Wescover Lounge,” said Dries Bovijn, co-founder of Mother. “It was our first introduction to the U.S. market, and we were excited to be featured along with so many other new and inspiring products from Wescover creators. Our product definitely caught the attention of many attendees. The Wescover Lounge felt like the exactly right place to be at NeoCon.”
“The Wescover lounge at NeoCon was the perfect extension of our online partnership,” said Kevin Wildes of Model No. “The Wescover team continues to be an ideal partner for presenting creators and makers to the A&D community.”
