This year for the first time, Isomi will launch three new products and open a showroom at this year’s NeoCon event in Chicago running from 10 - 12 June.
We have created three new product ranges which have sustainability and wellbeing at the heart of their design.
With design director Paul Crofts central to the development processes, Isomi will launch their sustainable cork sofa Tejo in the US, alongside a flexible modular desk system Layer and an eye-catching new chair MOODLight which combines high-quality design with health benefits aimed at alleviating the damaging effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
All three products will be available to view for the first time in Isomi’s 1,000 square feet showroom in Chicago, newly opened to coincide with NeoCon, a renowned launchpad for innovation which has served as one of the world’s leading platforms for the commercial design industry since 1969.Isomi wins a second award for Best of NeoCon!
Layer Desk was awarded Gold in the category Furniture Systems and was a finalist down to the final 5 for Best in Competition out of 294 entries.
Launching for the first time at NeoCon, Layer has been recognised by the judges for its innovative mix and match design.
Layer is an endlessly flexible modular desk system, designed for longevity, replaceability and material variety.
Clip-on panels can easily be fixed into place, creating a versatile frame that can house drawers, cupboards and other functional elements. This can then can be dressed with a wide range of materials, creating near endless possibilities for aesthetic expression.
Its modular design allows for the easy replacement of panels, enabling users to update the desk's aesthetics with new materials. This eliminates the need to purchase a completely new desk for a refresh. Panels are built for easy disassembly, allowing for end-of-life recycling or material reuse.

Tejo's dedication to sustainability has been recognised with a prestigious Sustainability Award at Best of NeoCon 2024!
The award acknowledges Tejo's commitment to using renewable, recycled and sustainable materials.
A sofa system providing almost unlimited options, Tejo offers the freedom to either challenge or adhere to all types of spaces. Tejo comprises three distinct main elements, each with a different depth: a bench, sofa with a back and a back-to-back sofa. Each material used in the construction of Tejo is harvested from nature. Choosing cork, natural latex and wool and hemp fabrics, Tejo is built almost entirely from the ground up.
Isomi debuts Tejo modular sofa system at Clerkenwell Design Week attracting attention from the like of Dezeen, Wallpaper* and Earth Folk for its revolutionary sustainable design.
Sustainably made by recycling cork waste from the production of wine stoppers, Isomi’s recyclable Tejo sofa system offers elegance, comfort and versatility; helps preserve Portugal’s cork forests; and marks a major step towards the circular economy.
We're excited to announce that Join Collection in wood has been named a Product of the Year Finalist in Mixology Awards.
Expanding the Isomi product portfolio of desks, tables, walls, seating and storage, our popular Join furniture family comprises a desk and table designed by Isomi’s co-founder and design director Paul Crofts.
Like all Isomi products, the Join pieces can be customised in various sizes, heights and finishes to suit different environments – from grand corporate lobbies and hotel reception areas to small offices and boutique retail spaces.
Designed by Isomi co-founder Paul Crofts, Join in Wood seamlessly combines linear machined timber with soft curves. Join in wood is recognisably Isomi in aesthetic: free-flowing in form, sinuously curved, and unmistakably contemporary in style.
Join family seamlessly combines linear machined timber with soft curves. Subtle shadows created by the chamfered edge profile add visual depth, highlighting and celebrating the natural variations of the oak, ash and walnut profiles. FSC certified wood was selected for the material pairing not only for its aesthetic value but its natural strength and durability.
The newest piece in Isomi’s new Join collection is a versatile lectern and greeter stand. Addressing the need for spatial flexibility, the range has been designed with void space to allow easy access to floorplates for power, allowing multiple placements.The judges said: “Would catch attention in any lobby. Looks really inviting through its soft corners, playful lines and juxtaposition of warm and soft materials.”
Frame can be customised to different profiles and dimensions, be positioned along walls or in island units, and fitted with a huge array of integrated accessories, including waste bins, backsplash, mirrors and shelves. Taps can be mounted on the wall or in an integrated deck, and additional materials can be used to ‘frame’ the sink module, hence the name.
Highly durable and easily contoured to maximise hygiene and drainage, solid surface has proven an ideal material for washroom settings. We’re pleased to be able to offer Frame in a variety of colours, including concrete and terrazzo look finishes, which makes Frame as aesthetically versatile as it is practical.

We're delighted to announce that Stack from the Assembled Collection has been awarded a Design Guild Mark.
Configured from a selection of modules the collection is designed with the potential to be viewed at 360 degrees, allowing the pieces to be positioned mid-floor, as well as against a wall or partition.
With a refined and timeless aesthetic, the concept for Stack was to develop a modular storage system that could be specified from a series of components, offering maximum flexibility. A minimalist U-shaped timber form can simply be stacked on top of each other to form shelving, storage and display functions. Stack is designed to be viewed at 360 degrees so display and storage modules can be used from either side.
We're delighted to announce that Chamfer from the Assembled Collection has been awarded a Design Guild Mark.
Configured from a selection of modules the collection is designed with the potential to be viewed at 360 degrees, allowing the pieces to be positioned mid-floor, as well as against a wall or partition.
Featuring a frame and doors in hand-selected hot rolled steel, each piece of metal is folded into the interior of the module creating a smooth visual transition. With legs cast in stain-resistant lightweight concrete, Chamfer benefits from a highly considered design which includes a chamfer detail and a shadow gap between the modules.
The minimalist design pairs soft curves with tapered detailing, drawing users towards the piece without requiring a large footprint. With no predetermined orientation, and available with castors, Umi can be freely positioned and placed to suit the requirements of changing environments.
Available with castors, Umi provides a flexible interaction point for dynamic spaces.
Produced in solid surface with the option of an oak worktop and cupboard, all functional aspects of the piece are hidden within the design allowing it to be placed centrally within a space.
Placed as an individual piece or arranged in a series, Umi sits comfortably in any contemporary setting.
We're very pleased to announce that out of 700 nominees, Chamfer, has been longlisted for the Archiproducts Design Awards 2019.
A modular storage piece with concrete legs and clad in hot rolled steel, the natural veining of the material ensures each configuration is unique.
Part of the interchangeable, modular Assembled collection, Chamfer takes its inspiration from brutalism and has both storage and display capabilities with perforated hot rolled steel mesh available as an optional infill to create a transparent backdrop to the storage modules.
Metal Wall Panel has recently been announced as a finalist in the Surfaces category of the FX Awards.
Designed by Paul Crofts, this modular system of wall panels in hand-selected hot rolled steel represents the successful application of a raw, unfinished industrial material in precise, minimal forms.
The final appearance of each configuration is carefully considered throughout the production process, as each of the hot rolled steel sheets is personally selected for its individual components, ensuring the continuation of the rich colour veins.
With no width or height limitations, Metal Wall Panel is available as a continuous surface or with the option of integrated shelving and offers new possibilities for interior cladding and decorative wall panels.
We’re proud to announce that Chamfer has been shortlisted for the Best Product Design category of the Blueprint Awards 2019.
Part of the highly flexible Assembled collection of storage and display solutions, Chamfer takes inspiration from brutalism and an industrial aesthetic, with refined detailing and material selection. Produced in hot rolled steel, the finished appearance of each modular configuration of Chamfer is meticulously considered. Each piece of metal is carefully hand-selected for its individual components, ensuring the continuation of the signature rich colour veins of hot rolled steel when assembled.
