This collection was displayed at the 2010 NeoCon show in Chicago. The 'Nemo Project' by Joey Ruiter featured two new designs. One is a [criss-cross wall working space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-desk-1), and even though it is in a box shape, this working space has a lot of room for you to sit in. Do mind the desk area, though, because it is a bit small. The other concept is a [very long table with long chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myami-collection) to go with it.
