NeoCon, NYCxDesign, Salone del Mobile, 3 Days of Design, ICFF, HiP Awards, Metropolis Likes, Dezeen Awards, and every new release making its way into the world outside of these events - we're keeping tabs on all of it. For this issue of the Notebook, we waded through many products to bring you our favorites. Some are award-winning. Some are one-of-a-kind pieces of art. All included in this issue caught our eye, and we can't wait to share them with you.

the notebook the shows
In the same method as our favorite creative exercises, we’re coming at our review of Design Show Season sideways. With this mix-and-mash- up, we hope to spark some creative connections that help you tackle the challenges of Return to Work, Hybrid Design, Flexible Spaces, and those pesky budgets and timelines. While a counter-height stool design alone might not unlock all of the potential of the workforce or fully-lease a multifamily complex, science and experience tell us the influence of the stool design is significant enough to warrant our attention. We’ve combed through NeoCon, 3 Days of Design, NYCxDESIGN, HiP Awards, MetLikes Awards, Salone del Mobile, and a few pieces of art and reading to offer a collection to invigorate you as you head into your next project.

proprioceptive feedback, heightening the balance skills necessary to maintain stability, agility, and coordination. Proprioceptive: Your body’s ability to sense movement, action, and location. It enables you to close your eyes, touch your nose with your finger, know if you’re standing on grass. (Yes, we had to look it up.)

Neuron Activation Pod ThinkSpace
The Neuron Activation Pod transmits very low frequency vibrations in the body. The technology promotes the body’s natural healing abilities, especially through the quality and power of sleep. With vibration directly affecting the autonomic nervous system, the mind does not have to make an effort to relax. The mechanisms of the nervous system are activated, and stress-related symptoms, such as anxiety, sleep disorders and, according to customer experiences, also pain are relieved.
