Since the seasons are changing and we're starting to feel Fall in the air, Kimball Office decided to put away it's summer clothes and try on something new. The Kimball Office Mid Atlantic Blog is changing its layout! Let us know what you think about the new additions and information to our Blog.

In The News!
DC State of Office
Jeffrey Gay, Kimball Office / Gregoy Buja, WorkSpaces LLC / Staci Wilson, Kimball Office /
Kathleen Knight, WorkSpaces LLC
Gregory Buja, WorkSpaces LLC, participated in a panel discussion of the future of the work space and trends in building and space design in the DC Metro area. He gave insight on the trends leading toward smaller workstations and increased collaboration areas. He also reminded the audience that the traditional "office" with a door is not dead - just smaller and more flexible. Gregory is a Principle and Team Lead at WorkSpaces LLC which was formed in 2006 to bring a unique service model to the contract furniture industry.

Case Study
Olivia Millar, Millar + Associates
As Principal and Founder of Millar + Associates LLC Olivia works with commercial, non-profit, education, retail, and government institutions to help them understand the goals for their real estate and space utilizations, and design to the goals outlined by her clients with a particular focus on budget, schedule, functionality, and aesthetics.
When Millar + Associates was founded in January this dramatic room presented the perfect place to launch a new interior architecture firm. When we began there were 4 people, we are now 7 people and have reached capacity. The all open environment is perfect for our firm, we are very hands-on and collaborative so we can all pull up to the center table and design then go back to our desks to execute. We love the location, one block off Dupont Circle, and are still working our way through all the area restaurants. We were familiar with the Kimball Priority product because we had recently specified it on a 63 seat office project where it worked for both the open office environment and the private office environment. In our new setting it offered a clean modern contrast to the historic building and provided the functionality we needed with respect to flexibility and storage. We have specified the Priority line since and continued to be impressed with the product.

Beo Lounge, Clean-Out
Kimball Office's popular side, guest and lounge seating line, Beo, is expanding its offering with five new enhancements. The Beo lounge will be available with a clean-out feature to help organizations easily wipe surfaces and remove debris, and an extra three inches can be added to the chair's width in order to accommodate individuals up to 350 pounds. Tablet surfaces will be available in wood or laminate, and a specialized grommet can be installed in one or both arms to allow users to easily transfer and lock the tablet surface into either arm for increased functionality.
To promote a quiet and peaceful recovery and work environment, Beo also offers an optional quiet caster. Beo's arms, back and seats can be upholstered separately in order to delineate space through color and match the interior design's aesthetic. Realizing clients' desire for design options tailored towards broader audiences, Kimball Office has also added a bariatric bench to its Collage and Event seating lines. The bariatric benches are designed to accommodate users up to 500 pounds.
