“Organizations looking to add flexibility, function and contemporary style will
find a solution with Villa. Although the design is simple, the options for
collaboration and lounge space are endless,” said Jeff Fenwick, Vice President
and General Manager at Kimball Office. “Villa is conducive to gathering, meeting
or relaxing, and can be easily reconfigured to fit the needs of the end user.”

A unique feature is the ability to createfree-form lounge configurations for
multiple niches, groups or individuals. This versatility is ideal for open
plans, student or visitor lounges. Villa offers natural separation for efficient
space division, and optional plateau tables, tablet arms, and freestanding
tables increase the collection’s versatility for impromptu meetings, studying
and socializing.

“As the workforce adapts to alternative workplace strategies, with less emphasis
on desks and more flexible space for mobile workers, Villa is a solution that
adapts to changing work environments,” added Fenwick.

All Villa components are connectable to form small or large arrangements. The
collection includes one-, two-, and three-seat lounges, with and without one or
both arms; benches and ottomans, wedges and corner units; freestanding tables,
and plateaus or tablet arms. A full range of upholstery and leather options are
available, with the choice to upholster backs and seats separately.

Villa was designed using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Design for the
Environment (DfE) standards and may contribute to Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED(R)) credits. Orders for Villa will begin in the fall.
