Kimball International Announces New, Updated Products

Furnishings manufacturer Kimball International recently announced a series of new and enhanced products for use in education, office, and healthcare spaces, according to a news release.

New products include the Fringe 2.0 and Connolly 2.0 series. Fringe 2.0 complements its preceding line, Fringe, but includes new features and options designed for high-traffic areas. Club chairs, guest seating, and single-seat lounge options can be added to private offices or collaborative spaces. The line offers new two- and three-seat units with multiple back heights.

Connolly 2.0, meanwhile, was designed for spaces focused on comfort, cleanability, and facility maintenance. The collection allows for sanitation options like a push-through clean out channel. It also features a higher sit and an optional, oversized arm cap with a finger-pull overhang for ease of sitting down and standing up.

Kimball also announced the enhancement of two existing portfolios, WaveWorks and Perks. The WaveWorks series has added wall panels and shelves for extra storage and functionality. The portfolio features new trestle legs for appeal in private office and conference environments. It also now includes two styles of planters to add a taste of biophilia. The full collection features desks, storage options, wall panels, planters, and tables, according to the news release.

Finally, the Perks portfolio is a series of work tools, monitor arms, power and data units, and lighting fixtures to organize both information and the workspace. Updates include a new mobile cart, undersurface shelves, and a cup holder, the news release reports.

More information is available on the Kimball International website.
