KI ADDS HIGH DENSITY STACK CHAIRS TO ITS STRIVE® SEATING COLLECTION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 27, 2009

GREEN BAY, WIS.
– A new addition to KI’s Strive® Seating Collection, one of the company’s most successful seating product introductions to date, offers the benefits of Strive to a broader audience. The new Strive High Density Stack Chair is a unique stack chair that offers unparalleled comfort, affordability and the ability to maintain a consistent visual aesthetic. In addition, the Strive High Density Stack Chairs stack up to 25 high on a dolly, helping conserve valuable floor space.
 
“The simplicity, comfort and affordability offered by the Strive Collection addresses many real life challenges for designers, administrators and end users,” said Shawn Green, vice president of product management, KI. “This very exciting line extension augments the success that Strive has already demonstrated in offices, conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, cafeterias and other large assembly areas. We are looking forward to further leveraging Strive's architecture through additional line extensions that respond to our customers’ needs across each of our core markets.”
 
Designed by Giancarlo Piretti, the Strive Collection is the latest innovation in “flex-back” seating. Offering a selection of stack chairs, task chairs, café and task stools, fixed seating, tandem seating and now high density stack chairs, Strive offers the comfort of an articulating chair to the widest possible audience with a simple, elegant design based on a small number of components.
 
Flex-back chairs encourage movement, enhancing blood circulation and unloading muscle groups. The Strive collection’s curved back provides lateral support, while the contoured seat dissipates pressure points. This environmentally friendly, cost effective material gives more people access to the ergonomic benefits of flexible seating.
 
With its clean lines and consistent design language, the Strive Seating Collection is appropriate for corporate interiors, education and healthcare markets. Strive seating comes in six different styles consisting of various frames, arm options, colors and upholstery selections.
