Bretford Unveils Luce Suite of Elegant and Functional Conference Tables and Credenzas.

Specialized Lighting, Power and Data Access, Multiple Finishes and Ability to Reset Work Surface Make New Line a Specifier's Dream Come True

CHICAGO -- Bretford, Inc., the leading supplier of high quality technology and media furniture that improves how people work and learn, today introduced the Luce Suite of Conference Tables and Credenzas. The new line can be modified to meet an end user's design and pricing requirements, making it a specifier's dream come true. The Luce Suite will make its debut in the Bretford Showroom (Suite #330) at Chicago's Merchandise Mart during the NeoCon World's Trade Fair 2007, June 11-13 and will be available later this year exclusively through Herman Miller North American dealerships.

According to Chris Petrick, director of marketing for Bretford, Inc., "The conference room reflects the company's image and, in many instances, is the office showpiece. At the same time, conference rooms must be set-up to accommodate the technology products that professionals need, like laptops and projectors." Petrick continued, "The new Luce Suite leads the way in innovation from the distinctive lighting options to the sleek power and data ports so specifiers can create a meeting room atmosphere that is just right for the company. And with the ability to reset the Luce conference room work surfaces, end users can significantly lengthen the life of their furniture while keeping the style modern and technologically-enabled."

Ideal for both traditional and contemporary business environments, the new Luce conference room tables incorporate specialized lighting into their base for an illuminated setting unlike anything else currently available. By lighting the tables, specifiers can design a unique look for applications ranging from high-end boardrooms to creative, casual "think tanks."

The Luce Conference Tables feature flip-up doors that open to reveal power and data outlets for electronic equipment. The myriad laptop and projector cords usually found on a conference table can now be easily hidden to give meeting attendees an organized table surface. When not in use, these doors flip down flush with the tabletop to keep the surface clean and open.

The tables are available in veneer, laminate and resin with hardwood edges for a range of mix and match options that further customize each application. Additionally, the Luce credenzas come with resin or veneer doors and an exposed or hidden top shelf giving the accessory great flexibility and a contemporary feel. To further extend the life of the Luce Conference Table, as the room or company image evolves, the work surface can be replaced easily and inexpensively years later with a different top made from a different material. By replacing the work surface, specifiers can change the look of the room without having to remove the entire furniture set, which is also environmentally-conscious.

The new Luce Suite will be available exclusively through North American dealerships of Herman Miller, Inc., global provider of office furniture and services. "We are very pleased to offer the new tables and credenzas directly through Herman Miller North American dealerships," said Petrick. "The partnership between Bretford and Herman Miller not only gives customers streamlined accessibility to the Luce Suite, but also complementary office products to complete any conferencing solution."
