Muscatine, IA. May 6, 2026 – The HON Company, a leader in workplace solutions, has partnered with HBF Textiles to enhance its customer-favorite SoCo™ seating line with 20 additional upholstery options. The expansion diversifies designers’ creative toolkits by bringing sophisticated textures, lush material depth, and a fresh range of hues and patterns to the collection. 

The intuitive modular lounge system meets the demands of modern workspaces with a tailored, contemporary aesthetic rooted in flexibility and productivity. With 20 new upholstery options from HBF Textiles, SoCo gives designers greater freedom to personalize spaces across the floorplate. The expanded offering brings added depth, texture, and material variety, allowing SoCo to support a broader range of moods, aesthetics, and material stories while maintaining its adaptable modularity. By pairing elevated textile design with usable modularity, the expanded offering positions SoCo as a compelling solution for projects that call for a distinct mood, aesthetic, or material story. 

“Expanding SoCo with greater depth, texture, and material choice through our partnership with HBF Textiles reflects our commitment to giving designers more flexibility in how they shape a space,” said Kandice Tjebkes, Director of Colors, Materials, and Finishes at The HON Company. “As designers continue looking for adaptable solutions that can scale and shift with changing needs, this expanded textile offering gives them more ways to bring both function and a distinct design point of view to the workplace.” 

HBF Textiles is known in the industry for having lush and usable textiles with a soft hand. Pairing soft, rounded forms with the new textile palette, SoCo™ brings a tailored, contemporary aesthetic while fostering productivity in any workspace. While this update introduces new HBF Textiles options for SoCo, the expanded partnership makes elevated textile choices available across HON’s broader product portfolio.
