November 2016 Product Briefs: Higher Education
Flexible, eco-friendly furnishings make their way from the office to the classroom.
Exclave
Herman Miller’s Greenguard-certified suite of tables, whiteboards, movable carts, and rail-hung storage aims to foster concentration and collaboration. The pieces may be specified in a range of sizes and finishes, including colorful textiles and solid and patterned laminates.
Turf Tile
These 24-inch-square cushioning tiles may be used inside and out on concrete, asphalt, and loose base surfaces covered with protective fabric. The grasslike wear layer—molded from 100% post-consumer recycled rubber—comes in 36 standard EDPM colors.
Align Lockers
With one to eight compartments, these steel-framed lockers—which coordinate with the Align desking and storage system—come in 11 colors and four base types; drawer and finish choices include metal, core laminate, and wood-grain laminate options. The Align pieces also contain over 30% recycled material, which can contribute to LEED points.
Trua
Though lightweight, this stacking chair—made with a wood or polypropylene shell—is durable enough for everyday use. It is offered in arm and armless versions as well as a barstool; two bases and five finishes may be specified.
Nik Desk
Designed to be used alone or grouped, Nik offers a concealed drawer and glass privacy panel; the desk also features two adjustable dock plates for charging and two movable shelves that can double as bookends. The desk, which has a frame and legs made of steel, is available in 48" and 64" widths.
