Worthington Direct to Premiere the Metaphor Series by Virco in 2008

An authorized dealer for Virco products, Worthington Direct has cleared space in their 2008 catalog for the new Metaphor Series.

(PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Worthington Direct (http://worthingtondirect.com), a supplier of school, church and early childhood furniture and equipment for over 10 years is readying their new catalog for 2008. Virco (http://worthingtondirect.com/brands/virco.htm ) has long been a staple manufacturer, their products can be found in all previous catalogs, and this year is no different. The new Metaphor series chairs are exciting because they blend the classic 9000 series stack chairs with the new designs and heftier materials being offered in the school furniture industry.

Three backrest vents give Metaphor products a similar aesthetic to Virco's best-selling classic 9000 series models. (http://worthingtondirect.com/school_furniture/chairs/9000_series_stack_chair_by_virco.htm ) The resemblance is no coincidence as Metaphor was designed by award-winning designers Peter Glass and Bob Mills as an modern throwback to the classic series, which debuted in 1965 with more than 47,500,000 units sold through 2006.

The classic 9000 series chair will no doubt remain a popular product for Worthington Direct customers, but Virco has undergone extensive research during the developmental process to insure that Metaphor would bring important ergonomic benefits.

Metaphor has the strength to provide a durable seat in high-traffic classrooms for years to come with a strong full-perimeter tubular steel frame. The specially formulated polypropylene shell offers excellent ergonomic support with a waterfall front, contoured seat bucket for optimum comfort. Metaphor chairs stack 12-high, perfectly vertical, for easy movement and storage. Keeping the cleaning staff in mind, the chair nests upside-down on desktops for more efficient classroom cleaning.

Worthington Direct will carry 12"-18" Metaphor stack chairs in 10 designer colors and combo desks in 4 of the most popular designer colors. All Metaphor models are certified according to the stringent GREENGUARD(r) for Children and Schools Program for indoor air quality. http://worthingtondirect.com/school_furniture/greenguard_certified_furniture/greenguard_certified_furniture.htm )
