Initiate easily accommodates diverse design preferences – for instance, you can create a 

variety of very different looks by mixing and matching panels in fabric, clear glass, frosted 

glass or perforated metal (above). 

“Workstations with 

mosquito netting? 

A desk that costs more 

than my first car?” 

In the real world, boosting productivity is more 

important than setting trends. Budgets are always 

tight. And the only thing you can count on 

is change. That’s why we developed Initiate. 

Easy to afford. Easy to specify. Easy to install and 

reconfigure. Plus, it’s backed by the HON Company’s 

Limited Lifetime Warranty. For an office furniture 

solution that delivers real-world value, choose Initiate. 

Get real.

Office furniture for the real world. 

Sliding Privacy Screens and Paper Management accessories are just two of the common-sense touches that make Initiate capable of supporting any 

worker and function. Sliding Privacy Screens: Tan finish. Panels: Vesta Mist fabric and Tan finish. Worksurface: Bourbon Cherry laminate top with Tan edge. 

Nuance Seating: Tensile fabric back, Black Leather upholstery and Bourbon Cherry wood base finish. Mobile Pedestal: Tan finish.

Life is complicated. Furniture shouldn’t be.

Initiate eliminates the complexity associated with other furniture systems. 

Fewer parts and pieces make specifying easier. I-connectors slide directly into 

adjacent panels, so dimensional creep isn’t an issue. Hanging worksurfaces, 

overhead storage components and support brackets easily slide into panel slots. 

Electrical components simply snap into place. 

With Initiate, you can encourage teamwork and support individual focus in the same workplace. Panels: Stylus Navy fabric 

and Light Gray finish. Worksurfaces: Greystone laminate top with Light Gray edge. Storage: Light Gray finish. Perpetual 

Seating: Entropy Slate fabric and Titanium finish. Perpetual Table: Natural Maple top and White Aluminum finish.

top with Light Gray edge. Storage: Taupe finish. Instinct Seating: Solo Chili fabric and Black finish. Provisions Hot Potato Mobile Table: Light Gray top and Black finish.

What people really want 

from their furniture. 

Here’s one way to measure the effectiveness of office furniture: Does it get in the way 

of your work, or not? Initiate doesn’t. You don’t need to read a manual before you 

can open a drawer or plug in your laptop. Initiate is logically intuitive, effortlessly 

comfortable and endlessly supportive. It just works. So your people can, too. 

Above: Mobile components easily adapt to different users and changing workstyles. Panels: Waves Whitecap fabric and Tan finish. Perpetual Mobile Worksurfaces: Natural 

Maple thermaform top and White Aluminum finish. Perpetual Seating: Solo Chili fabric and Titanium finish. Mobile Pedestals: Solo Chili fabric and White Aluminum finish.

Plan for today, but prepare for tomorrow. 

You can create virtually any kind of configuration with Initiate. 

You can establish private spaces and public spaces and spaces that 

seamlessly integrate the two. Best of all, you can change on a dime – 

Initiate is that easy to reconfigure.

Quiet space and conference space in the same footprint: it’s easy with Initiate’s Sliding Privacy Screens. Sliding Privacy Screen: Charcoal finish. 

Panels: Vesta Hematite and Catalyst Luster fabrics and Charcoal finish. Worksurface: Whitestone laminate top with Light Gray edge. Tercero Table: Natural Maple laminate top 

and Titanium base. Perpetual Seating: Curfew Iron and Solo Wheat fabric and Black and Titanium finish. 

Sliding Privacy Screens provide 

visual privacy whenever it’s needed. 

Screens attach to conventional 

panels and slide on casters for 

easy movement. 

Lean, elegant Paper Management 

accessories attach to a flat-profile 

carrying rail for a space-saving 

solution to off-the-desk storage. 

Extra-wide, Keyboard Platform 

saves desktop space by providing 

plenty of room for both a keyboard 

and a mouse.
