TRADESHOW RECAP
NeoCon 2022
It’s back! The creative energy, the enthusiasm, the comradery. NeoCon 2022 was a much-needed breath of fresh air. Thousands of space-minded creatives taking in the best our industry has to offer. Thanks to everyone who visited our showroom. We hope we inspired you as much as you did us.

From the moment you approach our space, you know it promises a different experience. Our entry's edgy urban vibe adds a unique energy to the MART – it's an expression of our enthusiasm. But that's just the beginning, from that urban edge to subtle sophistication, our showroom is meant to inspire you and elevate your expectations for experiential graphics – whatever your style may be.
Our bar delivers Takeform edgy urban brand graphics through two exceptional products. Waterproof and scratch resistant, Moxie may be engineered for interior and exterior experiential graphics, but it's tough enough to do double duty here as an attention-grabbing bar top.
And on the softer side, Oomph ceiling clouds keep acoustics comfortable while delivering bold brand graphics. Two products. Two different functions. One consistent visual brand experience.
As the only experiential graphics showroom in the MART, we're living our commitment to built environments and those that create them. Everything we do is designed to extend the creative vision of designers and brands through inspired experiential graphics.
NeoCon week did not disappoint. New connections, inspiring conversations, exciting projects, a product release, plus a few fun parties. Here's a closer look.
Rooftop Party
Sited by many as the best one to date, we could not have asked for a better NeoCon kick-off. Music, food, drinks, blue skies, bright sunshine, and 150 friends (new and old) gathered at the Godfrey rooftop lounge to start NeoCon in style. Want to join us in 2023?

New product release: Oomph Shapes.
Thanks to Takeform print technology, Oomph Shapes are the building blocks of endlessly creative possibilities. Select a shape. Spec your material color. Now it's time to get graphic – your imagery or ours. Like all Oomph acoustic products, shapes are as much about sight as they are sound.
Discover the creativity of Shapes
Oomph Lounge
Designed as a creative sanctuary, our Oomph lounge brings forest-inspired quiet and beauty to Takeform's edgy urban showroom. We think of it as our own 10th-floor city park - a place to connect, collaborate, and create.
Quiet never looked so good. Oomph's acoustic performance is only half the story. The product effectively mitigates sound reverberation with NCR ratings ranging from .45 to .90 , but Oomph is as much about sight as it is sound. No other acoustic line is engineered to give you such creative visual potential through a precision direct-print process. With over 100 individual image panels intricately layered, the Oomph lounge is designed to prove our point. Sprawling forestscapes, precision close-ups, vibrant hues, and subtle shading – Oomph delvers a full-spectrum experience.
Soak Society
An alluring cross between a spa and speak easy, the Soak Society brand is built around a customer experience that blends contemporary aesthetics with a subtly-seductive retro vibe.
The design brief
Create a playfully enticing experiential graphics
system that blends glamorous imagery, fresh design, and exceptional materials to create a modern take on secretive, exclusive gathering places of the prohibition era.
Our solution
Flirtatious retro photography, stylish typography, and impeccable finishes come together in a captivating design statement.
Signs of sophistication: materials matter.
Soak Society's materiality creates signs with a sensual quality. Half-inch Lumicor Glacier frosted acrylic lends a visual softness... think steam or fog. Lumicor's quarter-inch Rain simulates the appealing distortion of water on glass.
Our solution
• Logo-inspired forms, clean metal finishes, and an X-ray twist on biophilic elements speak to BSR's contemporary technical focus.
• Warm wall panel textures and super-sized organic imagery convey the human, caring side of BSR.
• Plant imagery does double duty by not only symbolizing vitality, health, and growth, it also represents Belgium's influential role in the international floriculture (flower) industry.
Belgian Society of Radiation
BSR fosters and protects the scientific and professional advancement of Belgian radiologists. It's a tech-focused organization whose members provide invaluable care through a wide range of radiology applications.
The design brief
1. Convey BSR's forward-thinking, tech-focused
brand attitude.
2. Balance the technical aspects of the organization and its members' work with a warmth that depicts the caring aspect of the radiology profession.
3. Show a pride of place by creating an experience that is uniquely Belgian.
Alaska Native Medical Center
Honoring heritage. Focusing forward. Alaskan Native Medical Center (ANMC) provides the highest quality care and cutting edge technology along with special cultural and traditional services for a holistic patient experience. ANMC and the people it serves are rooted in their ancestral past but look forward toward their bright future.
The design brief
Create a wayfinding, experiential graphics, and signage system that seamlessly blends heritage and progress. An effective design will honor previous generations of Alaskan native peoples and the natural world.
Our solution
Symbols, materials, and craftsmanship express a proud connection and respect for Native Alaskan heritage through clearly contemporary forms and design sensibility.
The Ontario College of Art and Design
OCAD U is dedicated to art and design education, practice, and research and to fostering knowledge and invention across a wide range of creative disciplines.
The design brief
Design an experiential graphics, wayfinding, and signage system inspired by OCAD's grid-based modular logo. In doing so, create a boldly legible presence within the confines of OCADs minimalist identity system. The black and white approach assures the experiential graphics and
signage work in harmony with the expansive range of art and design created and exhibited across the campus.
Our solution
True creativity is born from limitations. A grid-based logo combined with a black-and-white-only color palette might be seen as extreme limitation. So we got creative and pushed the limits of the limitations. Bold geometric shapes, an expressive range of typography, grid-breaking
dimensional line work, and precise production methods yielded a powerfully minimalist solution.
Creative energy, good vibes, productive constructive conversation, and at times, more than a few beverages were flowing. Thanks to all who visited our new showroom. We hope to see you all in 2023.
If you couldn't attend this year, take a virtual tour of our showroom.
Let's keep the conversation going.
