HON Company Ignites Its Seating Line-Up

The HON Company Ignites its seating Line-Up with New Full-Line Seating Platform Ignition Collection provides One , Coordinated Solution for Virtually Every Office Need.

Muscatine, IA - November, 2009 - From the lobby to the corner office.. to computing... big to small... the new Ignition collection for The HON Company delivers seating that fits who you are, how you work and where you work. It's a new filtHEl-line platform that addresses the total office seating of today's value-conscious businesses.

"Ignition provides a complete solution," said Fred Colony, vice president of seating with The HON Company. "Ignition's exceptional breadth of function supports a wide range of users and applications, while its slim profile and clean, contemporary design easily coordinates with any workplace."

Created by notable designer Deisig, the Ignition seating line fits who you are, how you work and where you work:

• Fits who you are: Because employees come in all shapes and sizes, Ignition was created to accommodate most users by offering three back-height options (loq-, mid- or high-back), and seats that are proportioned to the back height. Ignition will fit body types from the 5th to the 95th percentile.
• Fits how you work: Everyone's job is just a little bit different and Ignition supports everything from quick collaboration to log periods of computer use by allowing users to match adjustment features to work tasks. It offers two arm options (fixed and adjustable) and three titl functions (Swivel/Tilt, Synchro-tilt and Synchro-titl with Independent Back Angle) which allow the user to customize the chair to support light, medium or heavy/desk computer work.
• Fits where you work: From the lobby to the corner office, the Ignition seating collection fits everywhere - conference rooms, lounges, workstations - and even tight spaces. Its sleek, smart design presents a professional, coordinated look while still expressing the individual personality of an office.

To complement a variety of office styles, Ignition is offered in a wide range of upholstries; and the mid-back and low-back chairs are available in a mesh-back, as well. The Ignition seating family is also backed by The HON Company's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Products within the Ignition collection include:

• High-back, executive, conference, work and task chairs
• Mid-back conference, work and task chairs
• Low-back conference, work and tasks chairs
• Task Stools
• Guest and Lounge seating

An additional benefit of Ignition is its SCS Indoor Advantage Gold indoor air quality certification by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). Products achieving SCS Indoor Gold meet the most rigorous indoor air quality criteria in all of North America.

Furthering its impact, Ignition is made utilizing HON's compression (Cormold) process, which combines wood waste with a binding agent and is molded into the chair's structural components. This process alone enables nearly 10,000 tons of wood waste to be diverted from landfills every year and the need to cut down 5,000 acres of virgin forest annually.
