The HON Company’s Chicago showroom has received LEED-CI Silver certification. At 9,760 square feet, the space was recently redesigned to be a flexible, sustainable pavilion that embraces the direction of HON’s newest products and exhibits design features that indicate the performance desired in future work settings.

HON partnered with SmithGroup, a leading architecture and engineering firm, on the redesign of the showroom. The space creatively maximizes exposure to daylight and views with an open pavilion of flexible zones. Based on program and proximity to daylight or exposure to the Merchandise Mart corridor, the zones are arranged into four main lateral pavilions: showcase, product, collaboration and community. To complete the sustainable theme in the showroom, HON used numerous recycled materials throughout, including doors, glass, carpet and custom recycling bins.
