    By Kimball Office Social Media Team

    We’re honored to be nominated for Interior Design‘s 2009 Best of the Year awards…and now we need your votes! Our new desking solution, Fluent, designed by David Allan Pesso, has been nominated in the contract desking and systems category.

    Fluent

    The Best of the Year awards are a preeminent design competition recognizing superior interior design projects and products in more than 50 different categories.

    Fluent, our modular and flexible desking system, easily goes from private office to open plan using a platform of interchangeable parts that allow it to adjust to match evolving brands, teams, workspaces and preferences in any office.

    Fluent

    Fluent includes worksurfaces, tables, storage elements and privacy screens that can be combined to provide effective solutions for every user. And those components are incredibly flexible – you can configure them in singles, doubles, reception stations, private offices and open plans. Of course, it’s environmentally responsible, like all Kimball Office products. We designed Fluent using EPA Design for the Environment standards and LEED protocols. And it’s IAQ compliant – even the wood components, which are sealed with our proprietary Pura UV finish.

    If you’re a fan of Fluent and Kimball Office, please take some time to VOTE HERE! Please hurry, your votes must be submitted by this Sunday, October 11.
