[ SOLIS ] by KRUG
The result of an intensive, multi-year research and development process, Solis is one of the most advanced seating designs ever created for healing environments. With the larger footprint of this chair, and the critical importance of stability for the user, we have included adjustable glides on the front legs. This allows the Easy Access chair to be perfectly leveled to any floor for maximum safety and stability.
"The Solis seating group is a great new option because the mesh back substantially lightens the look of the seating, which is important in tightly planned healthcare spaces. And it also has removable seat covers, detachable components, and a crumb sweep in the rear," says designer Polhamus.

[ COMMONS ] a better design for waiting areas by Carolina
Commons is a seating and tables system designed to support the common space, the architecture around it, and the people who move through it. With bold structural architecture, Commons expresses what might otherwise go unsaid in traditional seating. The variety of angled pieces allows for designs to be made that enhance the space rather than reducing it. The ability to place the arms at any connection within configurations, as well as optional power and data connections gives users the opportunity to stay connected while still having a moment to relax. Numerous table options are also available to complement the seating designs.
This is what some of the jurors at Neocon had to say about this product:
- Flexible and nicely
detailed
- Thin profile is really
nice
- Strongest features are confort
and minimal use of materials
- Can be used in the center of a
space rather than the wall
- Attention to housekeeping anf
infection control
- Elegant, highly flexible
solution
- Positive add-ons

::: New product from Global Total Office
Princeton Casegoods
Leave the work cubicle behind.
Princeton™ is for a new generation that believes the office doesn't have to be 'the office'.
It's more than just a new look, Princeton has a personality just like you.
It's about making 'me' feel that I'm still me when I sit down for the day. You are never too young or too old to learn something new.
Most desking products were conceived to build out from the wall (ie. the workwall) but Princeton builds out from 'you' and where you work.
Makes sense when you think of it. And it does the wall thing too for those of us in transition.
Princeton™ is about doing more with less space and less budget. How about a really great place to work in less than 50 square feet? And new ways of doing things like a bench that doubles as file storage. Rolling glass doors that reward the eye and the touch. And the tight product map is easy to spec, easy to reconfigure and easy to manage.
