Originally the alliance, which started in 2004, offered only Aeron and Equa 2 chairs as fixed seating. Caper has broadened the range of pricing and value associated  with TSI and in turn leverages the awareness and popularity of Caper chairs within educational environments. This new capability utilizes an excellent seating solution and has reshaped it into something new and exciting. They are offered in several different colors and shades to compliment the room and reduce distraction.

The expected date of release of this product in its new application will be July 25. This new capability currently applies to only the US and Canadian markets. Contact one of our offices for more details.

Your friends at SupplySource would like to introduce a new product geared at making your lounge area flexible, functional, and stylish. Introducing Swoop Lounge Furniture from Herman Miller.

Swoop suits a range of styles with its extensive collection of fabrics, upholstery, veneers, and laminates. Its lightweight, modular pieces make it easy to configure and reconfigure spaces to meet immediate needs. Swoop is geared towards personal preference. The way that people sit is part of their identity – it’s personal.

Swoop is designed with this idea in mind. While traditional lounge furniture confines movement, Swoop encourages it. The sweeping curves of the modular components accommodate sitting styles in offices, public spaces, and higher education common areas. Freestanding tables function as desks, foot stools, or additional seating, which make it easy to connect with others and the task at hand.

For more information on Swoop please check out http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Swoop-Lounge-Furniture, or contact your local sales rep. A complete listing of all sales reps can be found at www.supplysourceinc.com.

It used to be that a conference room’s purpose was solely for face-to-face collaboration. With the advent of webinars and teleconferencing systems, it seems that these large rooms are continually being updated with new technology and, of course, more and more wires.

The conference room at our Williamsport office recently underwent an upgrade to enable web conferencing between our six regional offices. Upgrades included a PolyCom teleconferencing phone with external microphones, a ceiling-mounted projector, and a laptop for presentations (these items are all commonly found in most modern conference rooms). With these three items, the space underneath the laptop became a tangled mess of wires and power cords and could be viewed as a safety hazard.

To help tame the mess we blended wire management products from both HumanScale and Mockett. The products used were the Mockett Wire Spine and doughnut combination (to bring the video and data cables up from the floor to the laptop), HumanScale’s Neat Links (to lift the surge protector and other cables off the floor), and a Mockett Threshold Wire Manager (to ensure that the cables would not be crushed by conference room chair casters). This blending of inexpensive product helped to tame the mess and required very little installation or room re-configuration.

For more information on how we can help tame wire mess, manage technology, re-configure your conference room, or anything else, contact us today. We offer contract pricing and volume discounts to those that qualify.

EMBODY. THE FIRST CHAIR DESIGNED TO SUPPORT YOUR BODY AND MIND.

Jeff Weber and his visionary design partner Bill Stumpf set out to create a chair that solved a problem no one else was addressing-the lack of harmony between people and their computers.

FORM AND FUNCTION ARE ONE.

This was the design principle used in the making of Embody. Every part of the chair was designed to serve a very specific, healthful purpose. None of its technology is hidden, but instead, is part of its aesthetic. After years of research and design,building, testing, then doing it all over again (and again), the art of design and the science of seating perfectly came together, creating a chair-and an idea-unlike any other.

CREATING HARMONY BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY.

Embody recognizes that people and their computers have a strained relationship. We sit and stare at our monitors for hours, motionless, clicking stuff. This lack of movement isn’t healthy- for our bodies or our minds.

OUR ECONOMY RUNS ON IDEAS.

We get paid for our brain’s daily output. So we had an idea. Why not design a chair that helps you better focus on your ideas? Big ideas. Small ideas. Small ideas that turn into big ideas.

MOVEMENT ENERGIZES THE BRAIN.

Our bodies and minds work best when they’re in motion. Movement allows blood and oxygen to flow more freely. This keeps our brain more focused. Embody lets you move like no other chair.

For the art enthusiast, the docentArts gallery has placed many of their pieces on display accenting the furniture options available.

RHOMBII tables (by Bretford Manufacturing Inc.) help educators and business professionals make the most of their usable space. With optional built-in power, easy mobility and the ability to nest tightly when stored, the RHOMBII training tables offer hundreds of set-up combinations.

Perfect for both traditional and contemporary environments, the RHOMBII training tables are universal in nature. They have the ability to be reconfigured in just the right way depending on the needs of the space, then easily folded and stored out of the way or moved into other locations within a facility. They are available with flip rectangle tops, ranging from 42”-72” wide and 24”-30” deep to adapt to any room size or style. Tables are available in 6″ wide increments allowing for more flexibility in odd-sized rooms.

Tables are available with 2.5-inch casters, all four locking, for easy mobility and reconfiguration. RHOMBII tabletops come in three configurations: veneer with a 3mm hardwood edge, or laminate with either a 2mm polypropylene or knife edge. These finishes allow the RHOMBII tables to blend seamlessly with existing Herman Miller and Bretford products. Further, each RHOMBII training table meets or exceeds the ANSI/BIFMA strength and safety standards to extend their life and return on investment.

These new training tables are available for order exclusively through Herman Miller North American dealerships and SupplySource Office Interiors. They will begin shipping on February 1.

For more information on RHOMBII and to view a video demonstration of table configuration options, check out Bretford’s website, or contact your local SupplySource Sales representative.

In order to simplify the selection process for furniture options in an educational environment, Herman Miller has put together a set of three interactive PDF’s that highlight Herman Miller, Geiger, Brandrud, Bretford, SitOnIt, Theatre Solutions Inc., and Baker products that pertain to the higher education market. Each PDF features product listings and images with links that direct you to the product page online.
