WASHINGTON, DC --(Marketwired - June 17, 2013) - The HON Company, a leading designer and manufacturer of workplace furniture, will open the doors to its relocated and expanded Washington, D.C. Resource Center June 24. The new facility will be the largest of the five HON Resource Centers strategically located throughout the U.S.
"This new resource center joins our other facilities in supporting HON's customers and dealer partners and their business needs by providing direct, real world examples of effective office design and demonstrating how thoughtful architecture, planning and HON furniture come together to create smart workplace solutions inspired by practicality," said Shelley deSilva, HON Vice President of Marketing.
HON's new showroom is located in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s Golden Triangle business district in the vibrant Farragut North area, on the corner of Connecticut and L ( 1101 Connecticut, Suite 300 ). Inspired by the monuments of the nation's capital, the expanded space brings focus to HON's extensive portfolio of office furniture solutions and features a welcoming atmosphere highlighting crisp contrasts, linear lighting and a universal workstation concept that readily adapts to change with minimal facilitation.
The new showroom, designed by FOX Architects, is targeting LEED Silver certification. The 10,000 square foot space will be used as a regional hub for the HON sales team, distribution partners and end customers. Featuring reliable, collaborative options, like HON's Flock ™ collection, to the recently-launched Accelerate ™ workstations, the Washington, D.C., showroom will offer customers workplace design inspiration and be a resource during the planning and selection process of a project.
