It sounds like a tongue twister:  Social Distance with Stylish Screens from Symmetry!  Try saying that three times fast!  Symmetry has continued to polish up their screen collections following their launch of the acrlic Sector Screens, with the redesign and refinement of their privacy screens.  Mix and match fabric-covered Motif and white board Doodle screens to add texture and function to any office, as well as privacy and style.

Motif

Motif allows for customized privacy with durable fabrics designed to heal from pins, thumbtacks and more.  Integrate privacy and protection with bleach-cleanable textiles, helping to protect against COVID-19.  The eco-friendly design features single-piece construction with a HexaCore honeycomb center creating rigidity with less weight.

Height options include 12, 18 and 24 inches. Need to include modesty?  The midway and height adjustable mounts can be 30 inches high with a 6 inch+ modesty.  Width options range from 17-24 inches in 6-inch increments.

Integrate your favorite SitOnIt patterns, including:
Dice, Dynamic, Huntington, Laguna, Malibu, Monterey, Motion, Newport, Pop, Spice, Strive + Venice.

Need a bleach-cleanable fabric divider? We recommend the following:
Cover Cloth, Faux Felt or Synergy by Momentum Textiles

*If you plan to clean with bleach, we recommend you do not tack those surfaces.

All of the above materials can also be added to the Symmetry mobile pedestals to coordainate your whole space from seating to screens.

Doodle

Doodle is the playful partner to Motif, with the same height, width and mount options but in markboard form. This screen stands up to endless scribbles while maximizing privacy and providing a protective barrier.

Trinity Furniture’s Latest

contract office marketing

Trinity Furniture has introduced several new products this year!  Bringing their product offering full circle, they now span from traditional and transitional into contemporary office furniture.  When considering what to bring to market, the Trinity Furniture team stayed true to their commitment to their mission and values, incorporating environmental sustainability into well-designed furniture in the most responsible way possible.

Savoye

Inspired by the Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye located just outside of Paris, France, the Savoye Collection embodies many of those same modern architectural characteristics.  The design portrays a delicate floating body supported by an almost vanishing base.  Both lounge + table units consist of simplified, clean forms scaled and proportioned to give a light, very spatial and minimalistic aesthetic.  This collection consists of club chairs, start-center-corner-end, sofa and both off modular and free standing table pieces.

Vroom

Seemingly plucked from the interior of an exotic race car, Trinity’s new Vroom seating is visually stimulating and impeccably tailored. Its cradle of molded high resilient polyurethane foam is reinforced with structural steel for superior comfort and all-day seating support. A wide selection of standard metal and wood bases are available to suit any seating requirement.

Ziggy

Ziggy continues our race toward new products with a cute bucket-style seat.  The new Ziggy chair is thoughtfully designed with the same stunning tailoring and attention to detail as it’s friend Vroom.  A wide selection of standard metal and wood bases are available to suit any seating requirement.  Specify this chair with a cleanout or without.

Vroom is a recent big winner with Contract Office Marketing with over 25 chairs on the project!  Why did Vroom beat out the competition?  Comfort, customization and price point!  We have both Ziggy and Vroom available as samples in our showroom.

Learn more about these new products and more by visiting the Trinity Furniture website!
