Andreu World To Expand Footprint at THE MART With New 20,000 Sq-Ft Showroom
THE MART in Chicago is pleased to announce a major showroom expansion for Andreu World, an award-winning, global commercial furnishings manufacturer that has been in the building since 2006. Scheduled to be completed by NeoCon 2025, the innovative Spanish manufacturer’s new showroom will more than double its footprint, moving into an expansive new showroom on the building’s third floor. The significant increase in space—encompassing the entire 20,000 square-foot suite adjacent to Haworth—is part of a long-term lease agreement as Andreu World continues to strengthen its position in the North American market. Serving as a central base for the company’s regional operations, the landmark flagship, designed in-house, will celebrate Andreu World’s rich heritage and showcase its collaborations with top designers such as Philippe Starck, Alfredo Häberli, Benjamin Hubert, Piergiorgio Cazzaniga, and Patricia Urquiola.
“As a global furniture manufacturer, our partnership with THE MART has been integral to the expansion of our company throughout the U.S.,” says Jesus Llinares, Andreu World CEO. “Our move into this new space is a testament to the influence of this long standing relationship and marks a significant milestone in our growth, allowing us to further our mission to bring sustainable, forward-thinking design to a broader audience. Our values of innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability align perfectly with the legacy and community fostered by THE MART, and we look forward to continuing to shape the future of our industry together.”

Byron Morton, Vice President & Co-Head of Leasing at THE MART, remarks, “This recent development highlights our ability to attract design-forward international brands that recognize the value of THE MART as a strategic beachhead in North America. We’ve enjoyed supporting Andreu World’s growth since they established their MART showroom in 2006 and look forward to working with them to open their new showroom on the 3rd floor.”
With nearly 170,000 square feet of leasing activity completed in the past year and ongoing opportunities for connection, conversation, and learning, THE MART remains a vibrant center for innovation and business development within the design industry. The 56th edition of NeoCon, which annually draws over 50,000 design professionals to the building, will take place from June 9-11 in 2025.
