Commercial furnishings company Kimball International recently announced that its showroom in New York City has achieved WELL Certification at the Platinum level as dictated by the International WELL Building Institute, according to a news release. The certification demonstrates a continuing commitment to creating environments that promote health, well-being, and productivity, and it is based on performance outcomes for WELL’s 10 core concepts: “air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community,” according to the news release.

“Our New York showroom exemplifies our dedication to innovation and well-being,” said Kimball International’s Senior Manager of Marketing, Andrea Rohleder. “We are proud to offer a space that not only showcases our latest product solutions but also prioritizes the health and comfort of our visitors and employees.”

Kimball earned points via performance outcomes in various policy, design, and operational strategies around the showroom. WELL offers a data-driven approach to health and well-being standards for facilities. Kimball’s showrooms in Jasper, Ind., as well as Boston, Chicago, and Dallas, are also WELL Platinum certified.

“Citadel is honored to support Kimball International in achieving WELL Platinum Certification across their nationwide footprint,” said Citadel EHS’ Julie Wojnowski, Citadel EHS. “Having observed the performance testing for the New York City showroom, I can personally attest that wellness at Kimball International is not just a surface finish—it’s built into the spatial planning, the specifications, and the very fabric of the design and organization itself. From thoughtful layouts to the subtle subconscious cues embedded through materiality, lighting, and choice architecture, Kimball International truly sets the standard for what it means to furnish environments that support human health and well-being. Seeing WELL embodied at this scale is not only inspiring; it’s a blueprint for the industry to follow.”
