innovative canadian-made privacy solutions sought after by major brands pokémon, shopify and burt’s bees neocon 2019.
we hope you’re excited for what will be a fun-filled weekend at neocon, checking out innovative new designs from brands large and small.
this is a friendly reminder to swing by the loop phone booth at both the press preview on sunday evening and/or the following days to meet the canadian design team behind this unique product that can be found in the offices of major brands pokemon, shopify and burt’s bees. they’ll also be unveiling their newest iteration of the design and we hope you’ll have a moment to enjoy some quiet time inside!
for the first time, members of the media are invited to visit loop phone booths at neocon as they launch loop cube, a 2-4 person phone booth-cum-meeting room designed to restore privacy in the workplace and public access facilities (think: airports, libraries and hospitals).
both retro and futuristic, loop phone booths were created by canada’s onetwosix design agency as an open-office privacy solution to help workers find their focus amid daily distractions. due to its sleek design, loop has garnered some noteworthy customers including pokémon, shopify, and skincare lines l’occitane and burt’s bees (the clorox company), who have purchased the phone booths for their head offices. built on a made-to-order basis, the soundproof pods are outfitted with a warm, wooden exterior and a brightly colored, customizable interior, and come standard with a built in desk for laptops, an led light, a two fan circulation system, an ergonomic seat, and a 10mm glass door.

to celebrate the recently expanded collaboration with the zürich-based textile designer sonnhild kestler, maharam will present ein schönes ödes haus – a lovely bare house, a special offsite exhibition highlighting kestler’s distinct pattern language and reference materials during neocon 2019 in chicago.
created in close dialogue with kestler, the exhibition displays a selection of everyday cultural artifacts culled throughout her extensive travels that inform her unique pattern language including figurines, talismans, handmade shoes, textiles, military insignia, games, and masks. of personal significance to kestler, each object was carefully transported from her atelier in zürich to an industrial building in chicago’s historic fulton-randolph market district—a site with many parallels to her own workspace. the exhibition’s title was chosen by kestler, who noted an immediate affinity with the building’s raw interior by recalling a line from f. w. murnau’s 1922 film nosferatu, “ein schönes ödes haus,“ or “a lovely bare house.” according to kestler, this phrase speaks to the beauty she derives from the ordinary and imperfect.
maharam media worked in partnership with gensler to construct an exhibition structure that would minimally interfere with the building’s historic interior—the site of a wholesale produce business for much of the last century.
