Kimball International is excited to share new products and fresh enhancements designed to support workplace, education, and healthcare spaces. By enhancing their WaveWorks and Perks portfolios and introducing new Fringe 2.0 and Connolly 2.0 series, Kimball International is adding solutions that impact high-use spaces, productivity, and comfort.
For 25 years, WaveWorks has been a foundation for creating inspiring spaces where connections happen. With this enhancement, the portfolio now includes wall panels and shelves to increase storage and functionality. Smaller storage options and new configurations accommodate today’s shrinking footprints. New trestle legs add an aesthetic appeal to conference and private office environments. Additional height adjust options have been included to accommodate ergonomic needs and personal well-being. Two styles of planters have been added, making it easier to add biophilia anywhere. WaveWorks offers the flexibility to outfit an entire organization through its broad portfolio of desks, storage, wall panels, planters, and tables.
Fringe 2.0
The Fringe lounge collection has been a staple in their portfolio for over 10 years and continues to support a broad range of environments. Fringe 2.0 is a new series that complements Fringe, but includes additional features focused on meeting the demanding needs of high-use spaces. Fringe 2.0 includes new club chairs, guest seating, and one seat lounge options that provide single-seat solutions for collaborative spaces or private offices. These feature thin arm and back styles which provide a light scale profile and a slender silhouette. New two and three seat units have been developed, as well as curved units, and all are available in multiple back heights with clean out as standard. This series addresses specific needs for humanized spaces within workplace, education, and health environments.
Connolly 2.0 is an ideal lounge solution for spaces focused on user comfort, cleanability, facility maintenance, and aesthetics. Designed with a higher sit and an optional oversized arm cap with a finger pull overhang, Connolly 2.0 makes it easier for guests to sit in and exit the chair. Additional elements focused on high-use include a push-through clean out channel for detailed sanitation and a metal wall saver leg option to eliminate wall marring. Connolly 2.0 is a comprehensive lounge collection that flows from lobby or welcoming areas to patient, administrative, and learning spaces.
Perks
Perks is a collection of power and data units, work tools, monitor arms, and lighting fixtures that help clear clutter, organize information, tame technology, and make better use of every bit of your workspace. Select the right solution to match your ergonomic needs, aesthetic style, and personal organization methods, and you have the perfect collection of tools to make your space work for you. New to the collection in 2025 will be a mobile cart, cup holder, and undersurface shelving unit.
