NeoCon Chicago
NeoCon‘26
Chicago
This year’s presentation brings together a collection of new designs that reflect our ongoing commitment to comfort, material integrity and circular thinking, shaping spaces that are both purposeful and enduring.
At the center is Lucy, a lounge chair that captures the essence of our approach. Circular by design, responsive in comfort and refined in form, Lucy has been developed with its next life in mind from the very beginning.
Alongside it, Nya continues the Boss pedigree in lounge seating, quietly confident, beautifully resolved and designed for longevity. Comfort comes from responsibly sourced materials, all certified to exacting standards.
Lumae evolves the design language of Paloma chair collection, introducing a more elevated expression suited to meeting and dining environments where a sense of quiet luxury matters.
We also present a preview of Enso, a highly modular, banquette system that brings together softness,
structure and integrated planting. Designed to create tailored, hospitality-led environments, with the flexibility of an off-the-shelf solution.
Underpinning each of these designs is The Loop programme, our framework for circular design. From material selection to construction and end-of-life, every decision is made with longevity, repair and renewal in mind.
This commitment is reinforced through our continued use of BioPUR® foam, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance, alongside independently verified sustainability standards, including Declare labels for material transparency, Life cycle Assessments (LCA) for carbon reporting, and low VOC certifications for indoor air quality.
This thinking is brought to life through ReNew, our repair and reupholstery service, extending product life with a significant reduction in carbon, without compromise on quality or aesthetic.

theLoop
Life Cycle Thinking
The Loop turns furniture from a one-time purchase into a long-term asset; designed to last, designed to return.
The Loop is Boss Design’s approach to circularity, a design ethos and service framework that extends the life of our products and reduces whole-life carbon impact.
It moves beyond the traditional “buy and replace” model, treating furniture as a long-term asset, designed to perform, evolve and be renewed over time.
Through The Loop, we take responsibility not just for how products are made, but how they live, adapt and continue to deliver value throughout their life cycle.
KEY PRINCIPLES

Designed around life cycle performance, from specification through to reuse, refurbishment and recovery
– Circular by design
Products developed for disassembly, repair and reupholstery, extending life and reducing waste
– ReNew service

– Retain & reuse
Keeping furniture in use and relevant in a design scheme, while reducing carbon consumption and spend
– RePurpose partnerships
Long-standing collaboration with Waste to Wonder, giving furniture a meaningful second life through social impact projects
Measured & verified
–
Supported by Life cycle Assessments, carbon reporting and transparent certification, including second-life carbon performance
– Commercial advantages
- Reduces total cost of ownership
- Supports phased investment
- Extends project value beyond initial install
– Long-term relationship model
Creates ongoing engagement with clients, changing one-off transactions into a life cycle partnership.
Product Swing Tags Transparency at a Glance
Our product swing tags communicate the story behind each piece giving immediate visibility of its environmental credentials and life cycle status.
Designed to be clear, informative and consistent across the portfolio, they act as a quick reference, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and responsible design.
BioPUR©
Sustainable Foam
BioPUR® is our next-generation polyurethane foam, developed using renewable bio-based inputs to significantly reduce carbon impact without compromising performance. It delivers the same comfort, durability and consistency as conventional foam, while achieving up to 75% reduction in CO2e at material level. This is material innovation applied with intent, reducing embodied carbon while maintaining the quality expected from Boss.
How it works
BioPUR® replaces a proportion of fossil based inputs with renewable, bio-based feedstocks, derived from organic waste streams and processed into a biomass balanced material.
The result is a performance foam that:
– Maintains structural integrity and comfort
– Performs to contract-grade standards
– Reduces reliance on petrochemicals
– Supports lower product-level carbon footprints
BioPUR® Collection
Available as standard on:
Performance & Durability
BioPUR® is engineered to meet the same contract-level performance standards as conventional PU foam.
Testing & compliance:
– Fatigue and durability tested to BS3379:2005 + A1:2011
– Tear strength tested to BS EN ISO 8067:2008
– Fire performance aligned with Furniture & Furnishings (Fire & Safety) Regulations – Schedule 1, Part 1
– Foam performance classifications up to Class V (Very Severe) depending on specification
Declare Material Transparency
– Independently verified Declare labels
– Red List Free materials where applicable
– Full ingredient transparency supporting healthier material choices
Clean Air Certification
– Certified to Intertek Clean Air Gold
– Meets ANSI/BIFMA e3-2019 (7.6.1, 7.6.2, 7.6.3)
– Supports low VOC emissions and healthier indoor environments
Life cycle Carbon Reporting (LCR)
– Product-level Life cycle Carbon Reports developed with Design Conformity
– Aligned to ISO life cycle methodologies
– Provides transparent, measurable carbon data for specification and reporting
Why it matters
BioPUR® is not a compromise material, it is a direct replacement for conventional foam, delivering the same performance with significantly reduced carbon impact.
Life Cycle Reports
Life Cycle thinking - The Loop Perspective
At Boss, understanding impact goes beyond a single moment in time. Traditional measures, such as Environmental Product Declarations, provide valuable data, but ultimately represent a snapshot at the point a product leaves the factory.
Our approach is different. Through The Loop programme, we consider the full life cycle of a product, from material sourcing and manufacture, through use, to renewal and next life.
This thinking is supported by our Life cycle Assessments (LCA), developed in partnership with Design Conformity. These provide a more complete and transparent view of a product’s environmental impact, aligned to ISO standards and Scope 3 carbon reporting.
Building on this, our Carbon Efficiency Labels introduce a clearer, more intuitive way to understand performance. Rather than focusing solely on embodied carbon, they consider how efficiently that carbon is used over time, factoring in durability, footprint and the potential for refurbishment.
A product designed to last longer, adapt, and be renewed will always outperform one with a shorter lifespan, even if their initial carbon footprint is the same.
This is where The Loop becomes tangible.
– Designing for disassembly and repair
– Supporting reupholstery and refurbishment through ReNew
– Maximising reuse and material recovery
– Extending the useful life of every product
– The result is a shift in perspective — from carbon as a fixed cost, to carbon as a managed asset.
– Designed to last. Designed to return. Designed for the next life.
