November 16, 2009—The Kimball Office booth at Greenbuild Conference and Expo in November featured displays of Fluent and designs from the new Kimball Office | interstuhl partnership. Part of the portfolio on display at Greenbuild included Fluent desking and storage line.
Developed by David Allan Pesso and the Kimball Office Design Team, Fluent comprises coordinating work surfaces, tables, storage elements and privacy screens for the most productive office space solutions. Components of the system can be configured in a number of ways, including singles, doubles, reception stations and private or open offices, and for a variety of work modes, including knowledge sharing, exchanging ideas, conferencing and multi-tasking to name a few.
Fluent is environmentally responsible, notes the company. It was designed using EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) standards and LEED protocols. The entire line is certified to meet the USGBC LEED IAQ requirements and features Pura, Kimball Office’s proprietary UV finish. The line also is certified to BIFMA level, a holistic and transparent standard specifically developed for the furniture industry. Fluent has an available option of FSC certified wood in support of USGBC LEED MRc7 for certified wood.
In June, Kimball Office announced its partnership with one of Germany’s leading seating companies, Interstuhl Brombel GmbH. Co-branded as Kimball Office | interstuhl, the new line of six chairs is designed and engineered with natural human movement in mind. For Kimball Office, the partnership broadens its seating solution portfolio to include a line of chairs known worldwide for innovation, quality, design and ergonomic comfort.
