Kabin Performance Sanctuary Named a NeoCon 2026 Top Pick by Interior Design Magazine
The official NeoCon debut is a big win for Kabin.
Kabin, the London-based design company behind the Performance Sanctuary™, was named a Top Pick in Interior Design magazine's NeoCon 2026 Show Daily Preview, distributed at The Mart in Chicago ahead of the show's June 9–11 run. The feature, part of the issue's "Pod Squad" roundup of standout workplace pods, placed Kabin's freestanding sanctuary alongside a short list of category leaders — a notable signal given how crowded the privacy pod space has become heading into 2026.

Kabin exhibitied within the Shaw Contract showroom on The Mart's 10th floor, where the brand debuted updates including a refreshed operating system, new session modes, and refined ergonomics. Kabin's pods are built around a forward-facing, single-orientation design informed by Appleton's Prospect-Refuge theory, an approach the brand argues sets it apart in a market where most competitors default to enclosed, multi-directional booths.
Privacy sanctuaries like Kabin's have moved from a workplace amenity to a category unto themselves as offices, airports, healthcare facilities, and hospitality venues compete for the same finite resource: quiet, controllable space. Being named among Interior Design's selects reinforces how Kabin is leading the category not just as a manufacturer, but as a company shaping how the industry thinks about focus and restoration as design problems.
