Knoll Unveils Dividends Skyline, a Holistic System for the Evolving Workplace, at Fulton Market Design Days 2025
CHICAGO, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At Fulton Market Design Days 2025, Knoll debuts Dividends Skyline, a refined, flexible, and holistically integrated system that brings privacy, focus, and collaboration to open plan workplaces. Elevating its entire environment, Dividends Skyline features new planning typologies and a contemporized material palette, empowering architects and designers to deliver a total interior. Knoll is now located at its new Chicago showroom, a Miesian pavilion located at 1100 West Fulton Market. Knoll has envisioned a workplace as a cohesive landscape of forms and finishes that demonstrates the power of Total Design. From welcome and lounge spaces to open plan workstations and private offices, architecture and design partners are able to understand all the possibilities for current and future workplace needs. Total, Sophisticated System for the Contemporary Workplace At a pivotal moment in how people are using office space today, Dividends Skyline is a distinctive response, with a number of new workstation boundaries allowing a variety of privacy choices for clients in the professional services and adjacent industries. Thin veneer and laminate screens bring tightened architectural rigor, cubbies create massing and visual order, and open shelves allow porosity and passage of light. The new range of boundary typologies balances visual and acoustic privacy with visibility and light—private, comfortable spaces that foster focused work. Skyline Lounge creates opportunities for informal collaboration and focused retreat within compressed floor plans. This systems-first lounge program is designed to allow cohesive, non-eclectic planning that complements and integrates with workstations. With aligning depths and widths, privacy screens that match workstation panel heights, cube-like language, and paired CMF with systems, Skyline Lounge echoes the architectural workstation vernacular throughout the landscape. The system is offered in work and lounge heights. "We are hearing more and more from our partners that there is a need for true destination offices in this time of changing office spaces, and that company cultures require hospitality and amenities, privacy, and collaboration. Simultaneously, across industries floor plans are shrinking and there is a condensation of private offices and a higher demand for privacy in the open plan," commented Senior Vice President of Design Jonathan Olivares. "Dividends Skyline creates a first-class experience even amidst the constraints workplaces are facing." An approachable collection that promotes connection, Dividends Skyline also offers new highly specifiable planning typologies that serve all the different levels of an organization. Meeting the needs of everyone from associates and managers to directors and C-suite leaders, the collection features an array of different workstation options and seating, providing a fluid solution for different types of work. To promote visual harmony and a cohesive aesthetic, Knoll introduces 18 new veneers and a new palette of ultra-matte laminates. New metallic finishes in champagne, bronze, and manganese allow for refined tone-on-tone blending with veneers and wood grain laminates, and are part of a comprehensive CMF palette. In addition, upholstered seating and panels can be finished in matching fabrics, offering designers a comprehensive, CMF-driven system to cohesively convey a client's culture. Translating the sophisticated style of a private office into the open plan, thoughtful details, such as mitered panel corners, alongside beveled tabletops, slim screens, and gapless panel connections which reduce visual noise, are incorporated throughout the collection. Dividends Skyline will be available to purchase via MillerKnoll dealers for contract customers in late Winter 2025. Learn more. New Chicago Showroom Experience at 1100 West Fulton Market Knoll's new Chicago showroom is located in a Miesian pavilion, and is furnished as a complete workplace landscape. The space is envisioned as work of total design; space planning, furnishings, colors, materials, and finishes demonstrate Knoll's industry leadership as a partner for interior designers and architects. Visitors are met with hospitality and lounge areas, followed by open plan workstations, then private offices – a public to private progression that reflects the rhythms of work. "The defining architectural feature is the glass pavilion—that echoes the modern metal-and-glass high-rise office environments. Our design responds to it by expanding this reflective world through silver walls, shimmering floors and the launch of new metallic powders," commented architect Pernilla Ohrstedt.

Q1 Earnings Highlights: MillerKnoll (NASDAQ:MLKN) Vs The Rest Of The Office & Commercial Furniture Stocks
As the craze of earnings season draws to a close, here's a look back at some of the most exciting (and some less so) results from Q1. Today, we are looking at office & commercial furniture stocks, starting with MillerKnoll (NASDAQ:MLKN). The sector faces a tepid outlook as workplace dynamics continue to evolve. Hybrid work means that enterprise demand for office furniture is lower. Consumer demand for the same products likely will not offset the loss from enterprises, as individual workers tend to have less space and need for the sector's wares. The Trump administration also possesses a high willingness to impose tariffs on key partners, which could result in retaliatory actions, all of which could pressure those selling furniture that may feature components or labor from overseas. Lastly, the COVID-19 pandemic showed that there is always a risk that something disrupts supply chains, and companies need contingency plans for this. The 4 office & commercial furniture stocks we track reported a strong Q1. As a group, revenues along with next quarter's revenue guidance were in line with analysts' consensus estimates. In light of this news, share prices of the companies have held steady. On average, they are relatively unchanged since the latest earnings results. Created through the 2021 merger of industry icons Herman Miller and Knoll, MillerKnoll (NASDAQ:MLKN) designs, manufactures, and distributes interior furnishings for offices, healthcare facilities, educational settings, and homes worldwide. MillerKnoll reported revenues of $876.2 million, flat year on year. This print fell short of analysts' expectations by 4.6%. Overall, it was a disappointing quarter for the company with a significant miss of analysts' EPS guidance for next quarter estimates and full-year revenue guidance missing analysts' expectations. MillerKnoll delivered the weakest performance against analyst estimates, slowest revenue growth, and weakest full-year guidance update of the whole group. Unsurprisingly, the stock is down 8.5% since reporting and currently trades at $16.78. Read our full report on MillerKnoll here, it's free. With roots dating back to 1944 and a significant acquisition of Kimball International in 2023, HNI (NYSE:HNI) manufactures and sells office furniture systems, seating, and storage solutions, as well as residential fireplaces and heating products. HNI reported revenues of $599.8 million, up 2% year on year, outperforming analysts' expectations by 3.3%. The business had a stunning quarter with a solid beat of analysts' EPS estimates. HNI pulled off the biggest analyst estimates beat among its peers. The market seems happy with the results as the stock is up 7.2% since reporting. It currently trades at $46.47. Is now the time to buy HNI? Access our full analysis of the earnings results here, it's free. Pioneering carbon-neutral flooring since its founding in 1973, Interface (NASDAQ:TILE) is a global manufacturer of modular carpet tiles, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and rubber flooring that specializes in carbon-neutral and sustainable flooring solutions. Interface reported revenues of $297.4 million, up 2.6% year on year, in line with analysts' expectations. Still, its results were good as it locked in a solid beat of analysts' EPS estimates. Interestingly, the stock is up 7.1% since the results and currently trades at $20.15. Read our full analysis of Interface's results here. Founded in 1912 when metal office furniture was replacing wooden alternatives, Steelcase (NYSE:SCS) is a global office furniture manufacturer that designs and produces workplace solutions including desks, chairs, architectural products, and services. Steelcase reported revenues of $788 million, up 1.7% year on year. This print was in line with analysts' expectations. Overall, it was an exceptional quarter as it also logged an impressive beat of analysts' EPS estimates. The stock is down 3% since reporting and currently trades at $10.29. Read our full, actionable report on Steelcase here, it's free. As a result of the Fed's rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has come down from frothy levels post-pandemic. The general rise in the price of goods and services is trending towards the Fed's 2% goal as of late, which is good news. The higher rates that fought inflation also didn't slow economic activity enough to catalyze a recession. So far, soft landing. This, combined with recent rate cuts (half a percent in September 2024 and a quarter percent in November 2024) have led to strong stock market performance in 2024. The icing on the cake for 2024 returns was Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. Presidential Election in early November, sending major indices to all-time highs in the week following the election. Still, debates around the health of the economy and the impact of potential tariffs and corporate tax cuts remain, leaving much uncertainty around 2025.

Nik Bentel Studio's Loopy Chair Is Crafted From a Continuous Fiberglass Tube
AtICFF 2025, whimsical design houseNik Bentel Studiohas unveiled the Loopy Chair, an upgraded version of its 2019 prototype, now offered in a spectrum of primary colors and various fabrications. Formed from a continuously looping fiberglass tube, the functional chair boasts the playful character of a child's doodle, resulting in an 'animated sketch frozen in space.' In a surreal landscape, the studio created miniature versions of the chair in all its different colorways for the launch: white, black, blue, green, red, and yellow. The design finds its roots in the undulating tubular form of public bike racks found in major cities, and translates its form into a furniture piece for 'surreal living.' In life-size, the thinner design from 2019 is revived in a thickened frame, stronger materials, and fabrications fit for different uses. The standard high-gloss fiberglass version is joined by an outdoor version made from powder-coated steel and an indoor plush cloth-wrapped foam version. Fiberglass emerged as a common material for industrially produced furniture in the mid-century, often used by furniture purveyors likeHerman Miller,Knoll,Steelcase, andVitra. Beloved for its resilient strength and design flexibility, the synthetic material is fully embraced in the Loopy Chair as the sole material and focus. The curvilinear design language of the piece also recalls the tubular steel chairs popularized byMarcel Breuerand theBauhausmovement in the early 20th century, a major industrial innovation of the time. Priced at $3000 USD, interested parties can inquire about the Loopy Chair at the officialNik Bentel Studio site. See the gallery above for more pictures of the Loopy Chair.

Article content Rooney's save percentage took a hit as one of those shots gave Ottawa a 1-0 lead heading into the intermission. Article content It came from the stick of Clark, who silenced the Minnesota crowd with a sharp-angle attempt at the 11:38 mark.
