Letter from the President - Welcome to NeoCon!
June 2010
Welcome to Chicago! Let me be the first to welcome you to the windy city.
That’s right – make yourself comfortable. In the HON showroom, of course. I promise it will be one of the best experiences you’ll have at NeoCon this year.
Why? Because at HON, we know seating. We know it doesn’t have to be bulky to be comfortable. And it doesn’t have to be expensive to be stylish. And we’re HON – so you know it’s durable.
Take a seat in any one of our new seating collections and you’ll see the difference – and you’ll want to stay just a little bit longer with us on the 11th floor. In fact, our NeoCon theme this year is Inspired Practicality – we want you to feel right at home in the HON showroom – relax, unwind… and get inspired with our new seating offerings.
First up – our new Nucleus™ work and guest chairs. It might look slim… it might look slender… just don’t call it scrawny. Because Nucleus is all substance when it comes to supporting your body. Designed with Marcus Koepke, Nucleus looks and feels like no other chair because it’s made like no other chair. Nucleus features ilira®-stretch M4, a mesh fabric with a four-way stretch that moves with you, and gives the feeling of sitting in the chair, rather than on it. Come on in and give it a try.
Next… why not kick back in our new guest and lounge seating collections, which deserve just as much attention as task seating, if not more. Because you only get one chance to make a first impression. We have three new lines to share:
· Laurus™ -- This new seating line offers high-end style at a price that won’t take your breath away. It features a hardwood frame and an upholstered seat with either an all-wood slat back or an upholstered back. Plus, it’s green – the entire line is SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold.
· Riley™ -- Reception. Healthcare. Hospitality. General Office. You name the spot and Riley guest and ganging chairs will fill the need with their transitional styling and virtually endless configuration possibilities. Plus, there are two ganging tables to create U- or L-shaped configurations. This one’s green, too, certified SCS Indoor Advantage Gold.
· Convera™ -- Last, but not least, is our graceful new lounge seating, Convera. Perfect for private offices, as well as public areas, the distinctly styled collection includes club chairs, lounge chairs and loveseats with either exposed wood or fully upholstered fronts. Green? Check. Convera is also certified SCS Indoor Advantage Gold.
I can talk all day about our new chairs… but I’d rather have you give them a try and tell me what you think. So come on in – join us in suite 1130 and have a seat.
Sincerely,
Jerry Dittmer
President, The HON Company
