BALLO
Created by legendary designer Don Chadwick, Ballo is a multipurpose stool for short-term, active sitting. Drawing inspirationfrom the playfulness of the exercise ball, Ballo is well-suited for both professional and residential settings and can be customized in a variety offun, vibrant colors. Composed of a spool-shaped central column with two air-filled domes for the base and the seat, Ballo promotes low intensity physical activity and helps to reduce sedentary behavior.
HORIZON LED TASK LIGHT
The Horizon LED task light, a visually striking fusion of form and function, is the first utilization of Thin Film LED Technology in a task light. Using a series of high-intensity LEDs surrounding several layers of polycarbonate and opticalfilms, Thin Film LED Technology produces an ultra-wide footprint of warm, glare-free 3000K light – excellent for ergonomic illumination and beautiful light in any environment. In addition, the Horizon LED task light’s built-in dimmer control provides both energy savings and adjustable levels of illumination.
QUICKSTAND
A sit/stand solution that retrofits existing desks, QuickStand allows the user to transition between sitting and standing positions effortlessly. QuickStand can be clamped like a monitor arm to any fixed-height work surface. Its central column holds a monitor, an integrated cable harness, and a platform for a keyboard, and can be adjusted to the desired height of the vast majority of users by simply raising the platform. Available in a number of configurations, including those with dual monitor requirements, QuickStand can accommodate nearly any application or specification.
TREA

Built with an innovative solid state recline mechanism that automatically maintains control for the sitter without the need for adjusting, Trea provides up to 12 degrees of recline for a balanced posture in any position. Trea features a molded, contoured backrest that supports the body’s natural curves and provides lumbar support.
