How will you tell your story in your workspace? Call us biased, but we think it just might start with the next chapter of HON Ignition seating.
The Ignition collection just got an update, and it’s pretty exciting (yes, we feel this way about chairs!). Although Ignition isn’t new to HON, it’s long been a customer favorite for its lumbar support, ergonomic design and adjustable recline feature for maximum comfort.
Now, we’re about to launch Ignition 2.0 with a new, Designer White frame and updated Colorwav lumbar options. Customers will have even more opportunities to add personality and identity to their spaces, along with greater flexibility. As a top seller and a popular choice in our task chair lineup, we wanted Ignition to have the best and most options available.
How did we do it? Harmony Carlberg, Manager of Design Integration for The HON Company, is here to tell us more about the new Ignition release and what it means for customers.
Tailor Any Space With Exciting New Options
The Ignition family of chairs and seating can truly do it all.
And we’re not just saying that—we mean it.
From task and guest chairs to stools, Ignition can be customized to fit seamlessly into any space. Workspaces get a durable, flexible option to accommodate any user and their preferred seating style, while waiting and reception areas with Ignition seating can offer more comfortable chairs for guests.
Ignition gives you the opportunity to tailor a space with seating that incorporates brand identity elements along with ultimate performance and functionality.
“Anytime you introduce more options, it gives our customers more flexibility to fit their space with their brand story,” Carlberg said. “We always want to help customers experience their own brand identity, and color can do a lot of things; it can impact your environment, it can help with wayfinding throughout the office and it brings in more flexibility and more options. The flexibility aspect is what’s really exciting about this release.”
The Benefits of Color Are Endless (and Cost-Effective)
With Ignition 2.0, elevating the look and feel of your space has never been easier.
Every chair and stool in the Ignition 2.0 family comes with our Designer White frame, a striking and stylish feature that makes the piece stand out. We’re also introducing new mesh colors, adding another degree of customization to Ignition. On the task chair and task stool, five new Colorwav lumbar options are available to bring a new vibe in an unexpected place.
It’s important to think of chairs as a critical component of any space, and with these new color options, they’re not only functional—they’re part of your aesthetic.
“We’re making color more approachable. So often we see whites and grays, and part of that is because color is looked at as being trendy,” Carlberg said. “With these lumbar choices, you’re bringing in an accent color, and additionally, it’s an affordable way to change the look and feel of the office. Without having to make sweeping updates that can become expensive, this is a more cost-effective method of revamping the space.”
Colorwav options also stand the test of time. Ranging from classic to bold, you’ll find something that matches your identity and won’t fade with general use. This is an exciting offering that gives you more control over how to integrate color with one of the most popular chairs on the market today.
“We’ve seen instances where a customer’s brand color is red, and they want red panels—but it can be so much on the eyes,” Carlberg said. “How can you incorporate color like that, without it being over-stimulating? The lumbar options give you more control over how much color you bring in, and how much you want to use it.”
A Timeless Chair That Keeps Getting Better
Customers love Ignition, but one thing they’ve asked for is added features—and we’re never ones to be satisfied solely because a product has been successful. At HON, we’re constantly refining and redefining our seating options, ensuring that customers have everything they need for any space.
The colorways available with Ignition 2.0 are consistent with color options for other HON products, making for a seamless process when selecting and ordering.
This is a tailored experience that puts the customer in the driver’s seat, no matter how many chairs or stools they need, or the purpose those products will serve.
“With Ignition 2.0, we looked at colors that are timeless, some that are classic, and [those] that will have longevity,” Carlberg said. “This is a coordinated effort across The HON company; customers will know these options are going to be consistent from material to material, whether it’s paint or plastic. It’s something not always done in our industry, and it’s exciting that we’re able to do it.”
And we’re not done yet. Look for more features to be added to Ignition throughout 2021, including a few that we’ll be sharing in the near future.
