HBF has once again tapped Barcelona-based designer Mario Ruiz to create the Linea Conference Series - a new collection that provides a modern and sophisticated aesthetic for a variety of environments while serving as the perfect complement to his Linea Casegood Series introduced by HBF in 2008. Both Linea Conference Series and Linea Casegood Series have received Silver Best of NeoCon awards in their respective categories. Rendering a unique combination of design details with a diverse palette of materials, the Linea vocabulary provides for countless specification options.

Conference tables are available in many shapes and sizes and feature three distinctive edge details with top surfaces of back painted glass, solid surface, leather, laminate and a choice of seven veneer species. Power/Data connectivity is facilitated through unique accessibility to wire management in the table base.

Linea further supports the conference venue with modular bench units that provide additional seating capacities for large meetings. Credenzas are offered with various pedestal modules that accommodate short throw projection, TV lift, refrigerator, A/V rack and a recycling center. Completing the conference collection are media and serving carts, buffet credenzas, presentation cabinets, electric projection screens and lecterns.

“This is a signature collection for HBF for many reasons,” says Kevin Stark, HBF’s Vice President of Design. It takes full advantage of HBF’s long history of craftsmanship and attention to detail; but more importantly, this series offers significant new solutions for today’s changing conference arena.”
