Perhaps no one had a better time at this year’s NeoCon show than Stylex. In line with the commercial furnishings manufacturer’s ethos of “making things better by making better things,” the brand launched three innovative products, including one with industry leader Gensler, and introduced a new era of color masterminded by European designer and color expert Carole Baijings.
As the Stylex’s Creative Director, Baijings curated a new color palette and brand identity influenced by European aesthetics. Her unmatched skills in pairing colors, materials, and textures further modernizes Stylex’s products, creating beautiful, timeless collections for commercial spaces. She explains further: “As an art director, designer, and colorist, my passion lies within the composition, the quality of the materials, and how colors and textures interact. Stylex’s diverse portfolio of materials and finishes is uniquely adept to playful complementary contrasts and creativity.”
Partnering with Gensler, Stylex is elevating public and workspaces with Ambi, a banquette collection that derives its name from the word “ambiance.” The stylish seating evolved from a collaboration between Gensler’s research team and Stylex’s product design team and is customizable to fit any layout. Options include power capability and planters for a biophilic touch. For those unsure of the best configuration for their space, Ambi also has preconfigured layouts for workspace, media booth, lounge, and media lounge formats. Launching in September 2024, Ambi offers a comfortable and elegant space for collaboration or focused work.
Arriving in July, Anla is a sophisticated and sculptural chair designed by Anthony Land, product designer and developer at Stylex. The multipurpose seat works in various settings, from dining rooms to offices, thanks to its various customization options, including flared armrests and bases in wood, aluminum, or with casters. The ruched detailing draws attention to chair’s plush upholstery, which covers soft 100% recycled polypropylene foam for a supportive seat.
Anla pairs perfectly with Calder, another new launch for September designed by Brandon Walker, senior designer at Stylex. This family of tables, which includes coffee, side, laptop, and café table options, features minimalist lines and a thin silhouette, helping them blend seamlessly into the background and visually declutter spaces. The recyclable steel and aluminum bases have a conical detail that adds visual interest. Available in round, square, or pill top shapes in a variety of materials, including metal, hardwood, Caesarstone, laminates, and wood veneer, Calder pays homage to Alexander Calder’s legacy with its sleek, artful design.
