8.12.10 | Dallas, TX  — As workplaces continue to evolve to meet business and individual needs, furniture and design must adapt. With this in mind, Kimball(R) Office created Villa(TM), a building-block-inspired lounge series, which will be on display at the company’s booth, number 322, throughout this year’s Metrocon Expo and Conferences, Aug. 12 to 13, in Dallas.

“Furniture manufacturers must provide designers with out-of-the-box creative solutions that incorporate style, function, and comfort,” said Allen Parker, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Kimball Office. “By introducing Villa, we have opened the door to provide designers with infinite solutions for individual workspaces, meetings, and relaxation.”

·      Villa — With the unique ability to create free-form lounge configurations to meet the need for multiple niches, groups, or individuals, Villa can adapt to any size, shape, and environment by offering endless design opportunities. More than 20 interchangeable components can connect to form small, medium, or large arrangements. The contemporary collection includes one-, two-, and three-seat lounges, with and without one or both arms, benches and ottomans, and wedges and corner units that are easily linked. A wide selection of laminate or wood finish choices are available for freestanding tables, plateaus, tablet arms, and optional arm caps. Upholstery and leather options are available with the choice to upholster backs, arms, and seats separately to delineate space.

In addition, Villa was designed using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Design for the Environment (DfE) standards and may contribute to U.S. Green Building Council and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design credits.
