HBF announced last week that Linea and Chamberlain have been added to the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for HBF. Please note that the bookcases for both series have not been added at this time as additional testing was required. The bookcases have been submitted and HBF hopes to have these added to the Schedule before the end of the year.

The Linea Casegood Series, designed by Barcelona-based Mario Ruiz, provides a modern and sophisticated aesthetic applicable to a variety of office and reception environments. Rendering a unique combination of texture and proportion, the diverse palette of materials: wood veneer, paint, leather, glass, stone and solid surface, provide for countless specification options. Innovative asymmetrical overhead storage options and LED lighting systems are balanced by subtle details, such as recessed plinth bases and extruded aluminum shelving with wood veneer and painted inlays. Linea's inset leather and glass worksurfaces speak to the superior craftsmanship and timeless design Linea uniquely offers for today's management and executive offices.

The Chamberlain Casegood Series offers sophisticated styling coupled with highly coveted, quality wood working details. The design team of Lisa Bottom and John Duvivier has incorporated functional requirements of the modern workplace environment with transitional and traditional private office elements to create a variety of aesthetic options. Chamberlain casegoods, and the accompanying conference tables, provide the appropriate balance of craftsmanship, technological adaptability and timeless design for today's management and executive offices.

Additionally, the veneer options of Walnut, Rift Oak, Sapele and Anigre have been added to the following casegoods/conference products already on schedule:
o Ashton Casegoods/Conference

o Mercer Casegoods/Conference
o Fairmont Casegoods/Conference
