If these walls could talk . they'd say, "Over here! Look at me!" Warm, vibrant, and dramatic, the exterior walls energize the room, allowing the interior elements to maintain a purposeful focus at the center of the space.

A cross between a big-business conference room and a retail shoe showroom, this swank space oozes smooth sophistication. A juxtaposition of light and dark, the two display walls feature roughly 100 different styles of shoes. A glass table and leather chairs complete the savvy scene.

While the elements in Formica Corp.'s conference room - chairs, a table, inlaid carpet, and fabric walls - are less than remarkable, their combined aesthetics create an extraordinary scene. Add the light fixture adorned with Formica stationery, and you've got something to talk about.

Serious Setting

Exhibitor: Carestream Health Inc.

Speaking the electronic language of 1s and 0s, this room for InComm is both simple and sophisticated. Semi-opaque walls offer privacy without completely blocking exterior light, while the logo-adorned oval table takes center stage in the modest space.

Fuzzy walls, psychedelic patterns, and funky forms create this fanciful conference space for tension-fabric provider Fabric Images. Sleek stools complement the setting, and vine-like end tables sprout from the floor, creating a semi-open conference area that exudes cool.

A boardroom-style table and chairs sets a serious tone for Carestream Health Inc., which produces imaging products and services for the health-care industry. While a checkerboard drop ceiling and spotlights define the space, a curved wall of Plexiglas windows cancels out the claustrophobia.
