Jazzy comes as a needed option to Spec’s seating collection, particularly to complement the company’s popular lines of collaborative tables: EndZone, Factory, Annex and Manhattan.

Finish options are vast, and Jazzy can become colorful and eye-catching in no time, says Spec. A full 77 frame finish options, all nine standard Spec stains including clear coat, and hundreds of laminate options are available. Front and back laminate finishes can match or contrast, providing creative freedom for designers and specifiers.

The chair ships September 1, 2019.

Spec’s Marketing Manager Dubravka Milinkovic adds that seating solutions in specialized healthcare environments need to provide a sense of familiarity and safety. Milinkovic commented:
