The showroom combines the retro look with space-age technology. Interface Flooring Systems, on the other hand, received the Best Product Presentation award. Interface used natural materials as contemporary design elements in each station in the showroom.

Article Abstract:
Stylex showcased its four seating lines at the NeoCon '96 in trade show style. The lines were designed by Robin Drake, who used vivid colors such as blueberry and fire-engine red and were displayed against a bright yellow background. Hanging sculptures in Pop Art style by Paul Chen added a playful air to the line's names: an exclamation point for Verve, paper airplanes for Glide, musical notes for Bop and three huge bubbles for Bounce.
