Muscatine, IA – July, 2007 – A new, soft, off-white Muslin finish is now available on The HON Company’s Initiate® workstation panel system and its Flagship® storage line. The finish, featured earlier this month in The HON Company’s showroom during the NeoCon World’s Trade Fair, fits perfectly into modern office design aesthetics, notes Mindy Billingsley, Product Business Manager for The HON Company.
“Lighter, cleaner and brighter tones are extremely popular today, as they create and enhance a fresh, clean interior environment,” Billingsley says. “Our new Muslin finish blends seamlessly into virtually any decor and really lightens up interiors. The Muslin finish is a great choice for any office environment, but looks fantastic in smaller offices because it helps make the space look brighter, larger and more open. In addition, the Muslin finish works well with the strong influence of yellow we’re seeing across many color families, such as chartreuse, grassy greens, oranges and tomato reds.”
The new Muslin finish is available on HON’s Initiate workstation panel system, which is ideal for use in all office environments. Versatile Initiate panels can be used to create everything from distinctive reception stations to sophisticated executive offices. They are easy to afford; easy to specify; and easy to install and reconfigure.
Muslin adds an additional design dimension to Initiate’s adaptability and blends well with the system’s other newest offering, Nature Core™. Nature Core fiberboard, a non-woven composite material made from a blend of primarily natural and synthetic fibers that will be offered as an alternative construction material on Initiate panel systems.
Muslin also is available as the latest color choice for all products within The HON Company’s Flagship storage line. The line includes pedestal and lateral filing systems, bookcases and a variety of storage cabinet configurations for any size of office environment.
