Kimball International Receives 2009 “GREEN GOOD DESIGN” Award for Architecture; Indiana Showroom Noted for Sustainable, Environmentally Responsible Design

Kimball International, Inc. (NASDAQ: KBALB) announced today that its flagship corporate showroom located in Jasper, Indiana, has been recognized by The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies together with The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, with a 2009 “GREEN GOOD DESIGN ™” Award in the category of Architecture. The award reflects Kimball’s continuing commitment to environmental protection and sustainability.

The Kimball Corporate Showroom in Jasper, Indiana (USA) was designed in partnership with TVS Interiors, Inc. of Chicago and Atlanta. Steven W. Clem, principal of the firm, led the sustainable design team. The completely renovated 35,500 square foot showroom was designed to present the three Kimball International furniture brands: Kimball Office, National, and Kimball Hospitality.

Kimball and TVS Interiors implemented several sustainable strategies including recycling 96.5 percent of the project’s waste materials, preserving natural resources through use of local, recycled, and rapidly renewable materials, utilizing natural light, reducing water consumption with low-flow plumbing, minimizing or eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in construction materials, and installing GREENGUARD ®-certified furniture from the Kimball Office and National brands.

Previously, the Kimball Showroom earned the prestigious Gold level LEED-CI certification for environmentally responsible design from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), in recognition of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Kimball was the first company in Indiana to win LEED-CI certification.

The GREEN GOOD DESIGN™ program is a specialized edition of the GOOD DESIGN ™ program, founded in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar J. Kaufmann, Jr., former curator of the Museum of Modern Art, to promote and foster a greater public understanding and acceptance of Modern Design. Now, decades later, GREEN GOOD DESIGN aims to bring a parallel public appreciation and awareness for an equally revolutionary design approach based on the ideals of energy conservation, reduction of toxic waste, and sensitivity for the depletion of the world’s energy resources, with a focus on sustainability.

Projects from more than 30 nations were awarded GREEN GOOD DESIGN 2009 recognition. From hundreds of submissions from over 40 nations, the winners were selected by The European Centre’s International Advisory Committee, consisting of worldwide leaders in the design industry. A final total of 105 products, programs, environmental plans, and architecture were selected as outstanding examples of Green Design. In July, The European Centre will open an exhibition of award winners in Athens, Greece. To view all the GREEN GOOD DESIGN award winners, visit: www.europeanarch.eu.

The original GOOD DESIGN™ program honors products, designers and industry leaders for excellent, innovative and visionary design based on function and aesthetic, with a contemporary emphasis on environmental concerns. Kimball was previously honored with GOOD DESIGN awards for its Hum. Minds At Work ® desk system and its Scenario ™ table line in 2008 and its Adagiato guest seating line in 2007.
