Hon Introduces the New Ignition Chair Collection
From the lobby to the corner office… collaborating to computing… big to small employees… the new Ignition™ collection from The HON Company delivers seating that fits who you are, how you work and where you work. It’s a new full-line platform that addresses the total office seating needs of today’s value-conscious businesses.
“Ignition provides a complete solution,” said Fred Colony, vice president of seating with The HON Company. “Ignition’s exceptional breadth of function supports a wide range of users and applications, while its slim profile and clean, contemporary design easily coordinates with any workplace.”
Created by notable designer Wolfgang Deisig, the Ignition seating line fits who you are, how you work and where you work:
· Fits who you are: Because employees come in all shapes and sizes, Ignition was created to accommodate most users by offering three back-height options (low-, mid- or high-back), and seats that are proportioned to the back height. Ignition will fit body types from the 5th to the 95th percentile.
· Fits how you work: Everyone’s job is just a little bit different and Ignition supports everything from quick collaboration to long periods of computer use by allowing users to match adjustment features to work tasks. It offers two arm options (fixed and adjustable) and three tilt functions (Swivel/Tilt, Synchro-tilt and Synchro-tilt with Independent Back Angle) which allow the user to customize the chair to support light, medium or heavy/desk computer work.
· Fits where you work: From the lobby to the corner office, the Ignition seating collection fits everywhere – conference rooms, lounges, workstations – and even tight spaces. Its sleek, smart design presents a professional, coordinated look while still expressing the individual personality of an office environment.
To complement a variety of office styles, Ignition is offered in a wide range of upholsteries; and the mid-back and low-back chairs are available in a mesh-back, as well. The Ignition seating family is also backed by The HON Company’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Products within the Ignition collection include:
· High-back, executive, conference, work and task chairs
· Mid-back conference, work and task chairs
· Low-back conference, work and task chairs
· Task Stools
· Guest and Lounge seating
An additional benefit of Ignition is its SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold indoor air quality certification by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). Products achieving SCS Indoor Advantage Gold meet the most rigorous indoor air quality criteria in all of North America.
Furthering its environmental impact, Ignition is made utilizing HON’s compression molding (Comold) process, which combines postconsumer wood waste with a binding agent and is molded into the chair’s structural components. This process alone enables nearly 10,000 tons of postconsumer wood waste to be diverted from landfills every year and eliminates the need to cut down 5,000 acres of virgin forest annually.

"Why Rent Your Office Furniture"
I’m frequently asked “So who rents”? I’ve heard this question so often at networking events, that I’ve developed a simple one statement answer; “The same type of individual who leases a car rather than buying one! Furniture rental is an attractive alternative to investing cash in a furniture purchase, especially when your requirement is short term. New starts up firms usually have limited financial resources to devote to the business, they want to maximize their investment options, look closely at rental versus purchase as a solution.
If you’re business venture is not expected to survive the initial start up period, it makes more sense to rent. The U.S. Federal Tax Laws require that capital purchase of furnishings be amortized or depreciated over a five year period or a full sixty months.
You can save a lot of money by renting versus purchasing brand new furniture at a retail location. Many hotels like extended stay hotels find furnished accommodations can be functional and efficient, but these hotels are not personalized. Rental furniture allows your home away from home to be completely personalized. When renting residential furniture you pick the style, the look and feel, and you decide how each room is arranged. Home Stagers work closely with executives’ who move to temporary assignments and can help simplify the process and at the same time provide some valuable design services.
Other benefits and reasons why renting makes more sense for commercial office furniture customers, including cubicles. Let’s look at some situations that clearly make a strong case for renting.
• Short term projects
• Summer intern programs
• Special litigation trials
• Swing space which can be used while an existing office space undergoes construction.
• Temporary Employees
• Office relocations
• Conferences
If you consider some of the benefits of renting versus owning, here’s what you’ll find:
• You’ll conserve capital by not having to make large cash outlays.
• The flexibility of adding or subtracting products as your needs change.
• Tax advantages since rental expenditures may be 100% tax deductible.
• Good investment compared with paying for a depreciating asset.
From a more practical stand point, if your project is short lived, or you’re not sure of the outcome of your new venture, why rent a depreciable asset like office furniture? Due to the current economic conditions; there is a surplus of used office furnishings on the market. There is virtually no resale market for used commercial office furniture, especially cubicles or partition systems. Previously, you were able to get ten to 12 cents on the dollar, and there were buyers who would take them off your hands. Now, you have to pay anyone whose interested up front just to remove these pieces from your facility.
With a rental contract that works much like any lease agreement, you decide what rental term length you need, and you’re only obligated for that period. For instance, if you rent for four months, you are obligated to complete and pay for four months work of rental or usage. After that, should you decide to continue renting, you simply go on a month- to- month basis. As soon as you’ve determined that your requirement has been satisfied, or your furniture requirement ceases to exist, in most cases you pick up the phone and the rental company sends a truck to pick up the product. It’s that easy to terminate the lease.
