Design That Works—And Works Sustainably
In a decisive move underscoring its North American ambitions, global furniture innovator Sunon has opened the doors to its second U.S. showroom—this time in Chicago’s influential Fulton Market district. Timed to coincide with Fulton Market Design Days 2025, the debut marks more than a strategic expansion—it’s a definitive statement about the future of high-end, human-centered workspaces.
Bathed in natural light and layered with greenery and sustainable materials, the new showroom is a physical embodiment of the brand’s ethos: design that prioritizes well-being without sacrificing elegance or performance. As remote work continues to evolve into flexible, hybrid models, Sunon’s vision sits squarely at the intersection of form, function, and environmental consciousness.
A North American Footprint Built for Agility
Chicago now joins Irvine, California, as a flagship location in Sunon’s growing U.S. footprint, which also includes an R&D hub in Los Angeles, manufacturing facilities in Monterrey, Mexico, and warehousing operations in Dallas. This integrated network allows the brand to move nimbly across markets and design disciplines—an edge that’s increasingly important as organizations seek agile, customizable solutions in a rapidly shifting work landscape.
"Chicago is a strategic foothold that connects us more directly with design professionals, corporate partners, and high-profile clients across the region. It is a platform to demonstrate how our user-centered vision, rooted in sustainability, redefines the changing realities of workspaces."
Cindy Shi, Managing Director of Sunon Global
Product Innovation with a Purpose
Inside the showroom, Sunon’s latest portfolio signals an evolution in luxury office furniture. The sleek H7 chair blends ergonomic comfort with refined aesthetics, while the MixCube series responds to the spatial needs of hybrid work with modular efficiency. At the heart of the launch, however, is the H5 chair—a model that goes beyond trend. Its seat frame is constructed from recycled marine plastics, offering a compelling example of design as both a style statement and a sustainability initiative.
During the showroom’s grand opening, Sunon hosted an exclusive Co-Design Workshop that brought together leading voices in business and design to reinterpret the H5 chair in personalized ways.
"What began as a single seat now tells a story of collaboration and a deep connection to the planet. Sustainability isn’t a slogan—it’s the foundation of how we innovate.”

Beyond the Showroom: A Creative Ecosystem
More than a space for product display, Sunon’s Chicago showroom is a living laboratory for dialogue, co-creation, and cultural engagement. Clients can explore high-end material libraries, consult with Sunon specialists on space planning, or participate in events that spark new ideas and partnerships. Its location within Fulton Market—arguably one of the most design-forward neighborhoods in the country—amplifies the showroom’s role as a catalyst for industry conversations and creative exchange.
A Global Standard with Local Resonance
With a presence in over 130 countries, Sunon has long been a key player in global workspace design. But this new opening reflects something more specific: a desire to shape the next era of work environments in North America with an approach that blends international insight with locally attuned design sensibility.
By seamlessly integrating luxury materials, technological innovation, and environmental responsibility, Sunon continues to elevate the standard for what today’s workspaces can—and should—look like. As the workplace continues to transform, their Chicago flagship serves as both a beacon and blueprint for where the industry is headed.
