June 30, 2004—Every component in Smart Moves, adjustable wood casegoods, is height adjustable in a 6-inch range, from 26 inches to 32 inches, accommodating more than 90 percent of body types in today’s workforce. Manufactured by Hekman Contract, the Tom Newhouse design is touted as the first line of fully ergonomically adjustable wood casegoods. A twist of the patented leg mechanisms in SmartMoves and a work setting for a 6’4″ person can be adjusted to meet the ergonomic needs of a 4’11” person. In addition, an integrated sit-to-stand surface provides even more ergonomic support, as well as allowing the user to make posture changes through the workday.
SmartMoves incorporates many other features: Overhead door that never exposes its underside but still enables using the top surface. Invisible drawer glide mechanisms. Easy wire and cable management. Versatile rail on back panel for mounting a variety of work tools and strong enough to support monitor arms for flat-panel displays. Integrated lighting options. Wood solids and veneers are sourced from certified wood suppliers who participate in various sustainable forestry programs.
All stains are water-based, and all metal components are powder coated or plated with lowest possible environmental impact “trivent” chemistry. Most of the wood cores are a wheat-waste composite, ensuring total renewability.
