Isomi, Hem

By Diana Mosher

Workplace designers have a heavy lift. Balancing everyone’s needs and getting them excited about coming to the office takes superpowers. Has hybrid work made the job easier (because the office is the social place to be)? Or is competing with all the comforts of home still a huge challenge? It depends on who you ask. But one thing’s for sure: Office accessories tap into human needs and help pull a project together, so start talking about them early in the process. These six brands can help get the team psyched about being in the office: Orangebox, Isomi, AMI, Three H, BIOS Lighting, and Taamaa.

AMI

Hybrid meetings that feel disconnected defeat the purpose of bringing everyone “together.” Advanced Magnetic Interaction (AMI) can help the whole team feel engaged even when they’re not sitting around the same table. AMI’s Digital Dry-Erase Markerboard is an interactive surface that digitizes handwriting and drawings in real-time. Using patented magnetic sensing technology and real dry-erase markers, the Digital Dry-Erase Markerboard instantly shares notes from the whiteboard with participants not at the table. Best of all, this hybrid collaboration has zero learning curve.

If there’s no biophilia in the office, what’s the point of even going in? You might as well just stay home. Work is so much better with Woods Mobile Planters by Orangebox, a Steelcase company. These movable green partitions not only bring nature into the workspace, but they also help define permanent or impromptu zones whenever and wherever needed. Crafted from premium timber—with either oak or poplar cladding—and mounted on lockable castors, Woods planters come in multiple heights with an optional self-watering system.

BIOS Lighting, Skyview Lighting

BIOS Lighting

Circadian rhythms and the 24-hour internal body clock became household terms in the late 1990s. Now office workers can enjoy—and control—all the benefits of circadian lighting right at their own desktops. The BIOS Lighting SkyView Air portable unit ( smaller than a sheet of letter-size paper) provides standard task lighting along with circadian lighting benefits that enhance mood, focus, productivity, and alertness. This 2026 Best of NeoCon Gold winner also meets WELL Building standards for circadian lighting.

Three H, Aster Collection

Three H

Should accessories bring the conveniences of home to the office? Yes, please. The Aster Collection, a 2026 HiP Award winner, designed by Thom Fougere Studio for Three H, does just that with a coat rack, serving cart, and personal butler made from sandblasted aluminum. At the heart of the collection is the Portable Landscape. Mounted on wheels, this is a powerful yet easy way to bring vegetation into windowless or overlooked areas of the workplace that need a nature shot.

Tino, product

Taamaa

Admit it: Everything looks better in color. And today’s office designers got the memo. Sometimes color reflects branding. Other times it’s color theory and neuroaesthetics at work. Whatever the reason, color energizes a space. The Tino Charging Station by Taamaa brings just the right pop of orange or turquoise to a breakout space or lounge. Made from sustainable eco-leather with natural walnut detailing, Tino eliminates unwanted clutter while charging multiple devices. Bonus: An integrated device dock, cable management, and a pull-out drawer keep gadgets and essentials in order.

Isomi, Hem

Isomi

Having natural light in the office is more than a perk—it’s a must. At the same time, people crave the ability to carve out a space of their own for certain kinds of work. Isomi's Hem, a 2026 Best of NeoCon Silver award winner, is an architectural screen system that balances the need for enclosure with the need for access to natural light. The translucent mesh surface of this freestanding divider filters light, movement, and visibility. This is an ideal way to create a sense of separation and spatial definition without blocking natural light. ⬥
