Following our successful expansion into the US market, botton+gardiner proudly marked a major milestone at NeoCon 2025—our debut as part of Baresque Group’s new permanent showroom. This dynamic space brought together all the Group’s brands, including Zintra Acoustic Solutions and func. (space division), under one roof to celebrate innovation, craftsmanship and a shared vision for design excellence.
The Patio at NeoCon
At the heart of the showroom, botton+gardiner’s dedicated “patio” zone offered a fresh perspective on outdoor design. Our Contour Collection took center stage, capturing the attention of visitors with its refined curves, tactile comfort and relaxed alfresco energy. The setting invited attendees to pause, recharge and experience the easy elegance of Australian design—crafted for both durability and connection.

Designing for togetherness
The Contour Collection was created to bring people together. Purposefully designed for multi-functional outdoor spaces—corporate breakouts, education environments, and public parks alike—Contour supports interaction, comfort, and inclusion across every setting.
Featuring multi-directional and interconnected seating, curved benches, and collaborative table arrangements, the collection encourages shared experiences and longer conversations. At the same time, smaller standalone pieces offer space for quiet reflection without disconnecting from the group—empowering individuals to engage on their own terms.
Defined by fluid forms and soft, rounded shapes, Contour delivers both visual appeal and functional comfort. Thoughtful details—like bag hooks, umbrella fixings, rounded edges, and wheelchair-accessible clearances—enhance usability for all abilities. Adjustable features, such as alternate backrest angles and ADA-compliant table heights, reflect our commitment to inclusivity and quality craftsmanship, ensuring every gathering feels welcoming and enduring.

Looking ahead
NeoCon 2025 was more than a debut—it was an opportunity to showcase how design can shape connection and community. The Contour Collection stands as a testament to this ethos, embodying our people-first approach and passion for outdoor environments that invite interaction and ease.
