Have you considered what recycling can do to the local landfill? Well GSA has and they are spreading the word to procurement in Michigan.

 

GSA supplied the location- outside under the beautiful skies of Grand Rapids at the Gerald Ford Federal Building. Many vendors were able to showcase their products that are Green.

 

With the Federal Government focusing on using recycled and green products GSA gave them a chance to see and feel those items.

 

Space, Inc  was in attendance along with their partners at Haworth, Inc. One of the most fascinating stories is the new LEED Certified Haworth One Center Building and their focus on producing Greenguard Products.

 

Thanks to Allison Crews and Gary Dugan from GSA! Keep up the good work of spreading the news on Green Products.

Haworth X-99 Seminar Chair – Perfect for Conference Rooms

Haworth X-99 Seminar Chair is Perfect for Conference Rooms

Haworth X-99 Seminar Chair is Perfect for Conference Rooms

There are a ton of conference room chairs in the market but the Haworth X-99 Seminar chair is quite unique and worth looking at if you are redesigning your conference room or training area.   Anytime you purchase new conference room or training room seating you really want to make sure that the chair you select has more going for it than just being the least expensive.  Try to remember the last conference you attended where they had those massively uncomfortable stack chairs.  You end up spending all your time, energy and effort fidgeting in your seat and praying for a break.  Not good.  Instead look for these features:

  • Comfort.  The X-99 Seminar chair has a great, long “sit” which means that it is comfortable for long periods of time. Really comfortable.  In addition, it has a mesh back that has good support but enough flexibility to feel great.  (NOTE… Anytime you purchase a conference room chair you want to make sure that you test it for at least 4 hours to see how it feels.  Ask your vendor to drop off a chair for you to test before you make any decisions on this type of seating. Do not try it out for 2 minutes and think that the chair will be fine for all day events.  If you are going to have all day events then test it for 8 hours.)
  • Nesting.  The seat on this X-99 product flips up and allows the chairs to nest.  Nesting means that the chairs can slide together like shopping carts and be rolled from location to location.  They don’t need to be stacked and carried like other chairs.
  • Scale.  The size of this chair is relatively compact.  Don’t get me wrong, the chair can fit large people but it isn’t a bulky or heavy chair.  Personally, I like this chair without arms but you can get it with or without arms. 
  • 4 leg castor base.  This chair has castors on all four legs and is very mobile.  Great feature. 

Finally, make sure you take time to consider this purchase and definitely look at the Haworth X-99 before you select another chair.
