Lacasse Unveils Four New Workplace Furniture Lines At Neocon, Empowering Organizations To Reveal Human Potential
Saint-Pie, Québec (May 20, 2026) – Addressing growing needs for more privacy, group collaboration, comfortable seating, and lounge environments, Lacasse introduces four new products at this year’s NeoCon and unveils how thoughtfully designed applications can connect to human needs and play a bigger role in revealing human potential in the workplace.
NEX NOVA
Responding to the heightened need for privacy as people return to the office, Nex Nova is a comprehensive office solution distinguished by innovative designs and a sophisticated interplay of materials. Featuring curved knife-edge laminate tops and a unique, curved, height-adjustable leg post, the collection also includes laminate tileboards, where you can add felt, glass, or Forbo panels along with sleek metal or curved laminate shelves, empowering users to personalize their workspace.
With modular components and premium materials, Nex Nova is designed to adapt to the evolving needs of today’s workplaces, including the move towards “maximalization” in mood and tone.
STUDIO: FROM THE HIP HOP COLLECTION
Mirroring small neighborhoods to bring more dynamism and movement in the work environment, Studio is a thoughtfully crafted collaborative seating collection celebrating innovative design and human centered comfort.
Soft upholstery and thoughtful proportions invite people to gather and reflect, creating moments of connection within the flow of everyday work. Designed to move with you, the collection morphs effortlessly from an incidental laptop table to a semi-enclosed conversation nook, to a workspace with a table, or a welcoming waiting lounge. Easy, affordable pods without the expense of “phone booths”, Studio is a playground for designers in the trend towards maximalization in design.

TOCCO
Tocco is the expression of Italian design at its best. Designed from the inside out, it is a sophisticated chair collection for conference and executive settings. The chair replicates a natural inner body contour and features multi-layered, quilted padding.
Beyond comfort, the chair’s design is perfectly suited to sophisticated work environments. Its cantilevered seat appears to float, creating a refined silhouette that exudes timeless appeal, while its distinctive Z-shaped arms offer a pleasing visual rhythm. Available in two backrest heights, various base frame and arm variants, Tocco is an instant classic that will speak to those who value presence as much as performance.
