Muscatine, IA – February 9, 2010 – Gone are the days when meetings were held in traditional conference rooms. In today’s office, work happens everywhere – in training rooms, project rooms, large offices – and more often than not, in an impromptu spot where two or three people want to quickly put their heads together to solve a problem. To provide the ideal solution for the today’s office, The HON Company is pleased to introduce the new Huddle™ collection of multi-purpose tables. These thoughtfully designed tables feature smart design, flexibility and a choice of base, edge and finish options to meet the needs of smart, agile businesses.
“Huddle tables provide the perfect platform for training, meetings and collaboration by allowing you to use the same space for a variety of purposes,” said Fred Colony, vice president of products for The HON Company. “Arrange tables in rows for training in the morning; and then reconfigure them into a presentation-friendly ‘u-shape’ just a few hours later. Or, pull one into an office for a spontaneous meeting with a coworker; then push it against the wall to display items for a new business meeting. The possibilities are virtually endless.”
Huddle tables are easy to set up, rearrange and store when not in use. And, Huddle tables are perfectly compatible with any work environment – offering nine rectangle-top work surface sizes, three base options (post leg, t-leg and flip-top for easy nesting), 16 standard laminate finishes, 15 edge colors, 10 base paint colors and three edge detail options.
To allow for space-efficient table storage, Huddle tables offer a nesting base. While nested, optional modesty panels drop down so the tables can be nested together without removing the panels. And to ensure safe, soft and quiet fold-down operation, an innovative dampened articulation function has been added by HON to Huddle’s hinge mechanism. Huddle tables are also available with glides for stationary use, or casters for enhanced mobility and reconfiguration.
Adding further customization, the Huddle collection offers a variety of accessories to tailor the tables for specific uses. Optional ganging hardware allows the tables to be locked into place – ideal for training rooms or areas open to the general public. Optional wire management trays and USB grommets are also available.
An additional benefit of the Huddle multi-purpose tables is their SCS Indoor Advantage™ indoor air quality certification by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). When configured with t-mold or edge-banded tops, the collection meets SCS Indoor Advantage certification – the most rigorous indoor air quality criteria in all of North America.
