When introduced in 2011, Horizon became an instant icon and was honored with the design industry’s prestigious Red Dot Award. Its innovativeThin Film
LEDTechnology and striking minimal design earned it a place in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Humanscale has now improved upon this classic’s functionality, light quality, and energy efficiency to ensure it remains at the forefront of sustainability and performance.
Design Story “Our goal in designing Horizon was to achieve an ultra-thin, luminous plane of light—made possible through years of research— and celebrate it by floating it above the desktop in a package of material and aesthetic efficiency.”
Peter Stathis, Co-Designer
Humanscale teamed with designers Peter Stathis and Michael McCoy to create the Horizon table light, winner of 17 design awards from around the world. Horizon combines minimal modernism and organic forms. In Horizon 2.0, we enhanced the user interface, eliminated PVC and achieved Energy Star 2.0 certification — taking this iconic design to a new level.

Textiles / Fabrics
The following procedure should be used with all cleaning agents. A clean, white cloth dampened with the recommended cleaning agent should be used in an inconspicuous place to test for colorfastness. Optimum cleaning will be achieved by not over-wetting the cloth and by turning it frequently to keep it clean. Rings can be avoided by working from the outer edge of the spot toward the center.
This process should be repeated until the spot is removed or there is no further transfer to the cloth. To treat soiled/non-oil base stains, apply foam or powder upholstery cleaner. Test hidden area for colorfastness. To treat grease/oil base stains, apply a commercial solvent such as Bestine or Blue Lustre. Test a hidden area.
For fabric boards, clean only with warm water and mild soap; use caution when applying cleaning agents, particularly those that contain alcohol, strong alkalis, or solvents that may react to the vinyl backing or adhesives used in the fabric boards.

For Muuto textiles cleaning and maintenance care, please visit: http://download.muuto.com/MediaLibrary/knoll-muuto- cleaning-instructions
Wool Felt
Vacuum with a clean, soft brush, and clean with water and mild detergent. A chemical spot remover may be used. Always test any cleaning method first in an inconspicuous area. There are many solvent-based spot removers available. Although they are not recommended except in the case of emergency, the best choices for wool felt are dry cleaning fluids. Blot the stained area with a clean cloth soaked in dry cleaning fluid, then blot with a clean cloth until dry.
Additional cleaning guidance on wool felt can be found under the Maintenance & Cleaning section at: https://www.filzfelt. com/index.php?/downloads#Maintenance-Cleaning
Leather
Full grain, aniline leather requires little care. Do not use hard cleaners or substances such as wax or mink oils. A periodic wipe with a damp cloth is a sufficient mean of cleaning under normal conditions.
For finished leathers, cowhides, and belting leathers, maintain by wiping with a cool, damp cloth. For scratches, use liquid shoe polish and buff when dry. For tougher soiling, use a pH balanced soap on cloth and rinse.
For naked leathers, wipe entire surface with a soft cloth and cool water. Do not spot-rub.
For grain sueded leathers, remove general soil with a suede cleaning block.
A leather maintenance kit is available at: www.spinneybeck.com.

Hard Finishes
Veneer / Wood
On veneers, use a very mild non-abrasive, non-ammonia and non-alcohol containing soap diluted in a room temperature water solution. Apply with a soft flannel cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
Never use commercial cleaners, abrasives, solvents or glass cleaner on any wood components as it will wear away the finish. Never apply wax as this will interact with the finish. On woods, clean with a dry, lint-free cloth. Wash once a year with a mild soap and water solution, rinse with damp cloth and dry immediately.
Note: All DatesWeiser wood products should be cleaned using the above guidance.
All furniture should be used in a stable, controlled atmosphere and positioned to avoid direct sunlight. The ideal climate is 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity between 30 to 50%. Certain vinyl and rubber products left in contact for extended periods of time can chemically react with our wood finishes. Coasters, place mats, notebook covers, and rubber or plastic feet (found on most accessories) can also damage wood surfaces. We recommend using felt pads on all objects that come in contact with furniture. To avoid indentations caused by writing instruments, always use a non-vinyl blotter or writing pad.
Lacquer Finishes on Wood
Clean with ordinary household soaps or detergents, well dissolved in water. Polish with lemon oil using a very soft cloth. For stubborn dirt or light scratches, uniformly apply
Cleanbright Liquid Ebony or Guardsman liquid furniture polish with cheesecloth. Allow ten minutes to dry and wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Never use abrasives.
Teak
Do not apply teak oil if you are using your furniture outdoors. For teak furniture used outdoors, clean with Simple Green and a medium bristle brush until dust, pollen and dirt are removed. Note that teak exposed to the sun will patina to a silvery grey color.
For teak furniture used indoors, wipe surface with soft cloth to remove dust. Apply a thin layer of teak oil using a paint brush and wipe excess using a soft cloth.
Cork
Spot clean with a cloth dampened with water only.
Natural Caning
Use water and glycerin to maintain and prevent cane from drying out.
Cotton / Nylon Webbing
Use damp cloth to wipe off stains. Do not use detergent or soap or any abrasive detergent.
Powder Coated and Plated Metal
In general, all metal surfaces should be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. For regular cleaning of metal surfaces, use a solution of mild, non-abrasive soap and warm water. Never use abrasives and chemical cleaners. Always test a small area prior to cleaning. Remove stubborn stains with Soft Scrub. Remove stubborn stains and light scratches from painted metal surfaces by rubbing with a mild abrasive cleaner like Softscrub, Comet, or Ajax. Never use harsh abrasives or steel wool.
For polished aluminum, clean with Windex, Fantastik, or other non-abrasive cleaning solutions. Coat with a hard paste wax semi-annually to maintain luster and prevent discoloration.
For anodized aluminum, clean with mild soaps, detergents, or other non-abrasive cleaning agents. Apply paste wax or DuPont non-abrasive car polish #7 twice a year to prevent oxidation. For stubborn stains or discolorations, apply navel jelly aluminum cleaner.
For copper surfaces, polish using a soft cloth and metal polish cream. Do not use harsh abrasive or steel wool.
Bronze and brass surfaces are best cleaned with a damp cloth, buffed, and dried.
Non-abrasive cleaners like Windex, Fantastik, and Brass Polish may be used. Metal cleaners should not be used on brass and bronze parts. For stubborn stains, a mild solution of soap and water may be utilized.
For discoloration on polished brass, coat with hard plastic wax periodically to prevent oxidation. For scratches and discoloration on bronze, rub lightly with a fine steel wool (#0000) to restore luster; touch-up with clear lacquer to prevent oxidation.
On chromes, stainless steel, and nickel, use non-abrasive spray glass cleaner for day to day care. For small scratches on stainless steel, rub with a mild abrasive or
Dutch cleanser such as Comet or Ajax in the direction of the grain. Apply a coat of auto wax to maintain beauty. For scratches and discoloration on nickel, rub lightly with a fine steel wool (#0000) to restore luster. Touch-up with clear lacquer to prevent oxidation. To maintain chrome, apply coat of hard paste wax to protect against moisture.
Pixel Molded Urethane Edge
Clean with Fantastik or Windex.
Hard Finishes, continued…
Laminate / Melamine
Scrub with Windex, Fantastik, Mr. Clean, or other household soaps or detergents well dissolved in water, or with a very soft cloth dampened with alcohol or a synthetic thinner. For a dull finish, rub with jeweler’s rouge as a polishing agent and finish with paste wax. Never use abrasives. Remove stubborn stains with Soft Scrub. Only use self-cleaning waxes sparingly on stubborn stains with very fine abrasives. Suede finish will dull with excessive use of self-cleaning waxes.
Rilsan
Clean with Windex, Fantastik, or other ordinary non-abrasive household soaps or detergents. For ink stains on white surfaces, use Soft Scrub. For scratches and chips, rub with Comet, Ajax, or other mild abrasives. For deeper scratches, use a good grade automotive acrylic-lacquer touch-up paint. Shine with a high-grade auto polish. Never use harsh abrasives or steel wool.
Marble / Granite / Vetro Bianco
Polyester-coated marble, granite, and vetro bianco may be washed with lukewarm water. Wash more thoroughly with a non-abrasive cleaner like Windex or Fantastik in warm water. Rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Natural non- coated marble should never be cleaned with abrasives. Never use steel wool to clean marble, granite, or vetro bianco.
Slate
Apply a generous amount of soap solution (1:5) to the tabletop with a hard brush. Wipe off the top with a clean, damp cloth. Repeat as often as required.
Apply mineral oil or lemon oil as needed to protect surface and maintain color.

Glass (Clear and Etched) / Acrylic Polycarbonate / Porcelain
You may use a standard brand of glass cleaner that does not contain ammonia or vinegar such as
Ammonia-Free Windex. Ammonia will damage frosted glass. Do not use abrasive detergents.
Always use a soft, clean, grit free cloth when cleaning to reduce the chances of scratching the surface.
We do not recommend using paper towels. Avoid applying cleaning solution near seams in top.
For fine scratches on frosted glass, apply a hardware store plastic polish;
i.e. Novus #2.
Cement
Use soap-based household cleaner.
Plastic / Nylon
Clean using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use mild pH-balanced soap diluted in water. Do not use abrasives sponges, acidic products or solvents containing ammonia. To remove scuff marks, lightly rub scuff mark with a dry, non- scratch scour pad, like Scotch-Brite.
Vinyl
Clean frequently with a mild detergent and water. Use leather or plastic cleaners for unusually heavy use. Do not use solvents such as gasoline because plastic surface will gum and deteriorate.
Epoxy
Clean with Windex, Fantastik, or other ordinary non-abrasive household soaps, detergents, or ammonia at least once a month to prevent yellowing. For scratches and chips, rub with Comet, Ajax, or other mild abrasives. For deeper scratches, contact Knoll Customer Service for touch-up paint. Shine with a high grade auto polish. Never use harsh abrasives or steel wool.
Marker Board
For day-to-day use, surface requires only a dry cleaning with a standard felt eraser or dry cloth. If used daily, we recommend a complete cleaning be performed at least 2-3 times a week using EXPO® whiteboard cleaner. You may also clean with
EV-1 or any liquid ammonia-added cleaner and rinse with clean water, then dry.
Interim cleaning may be done by sprinkling a dry powdered cleanser on an eraser and applying to the board in a circular motion. Rinse with clean water, then dry.
To remove ghosting, use EXPO® whiteboard cleaner and a paper towel; wipe the entire surface and let dry. Mix Joy® dishwashing detergent with warm water and apply to the board using a paper towel; then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Repeat as necessary.
To remove permanent marker, use a dry erase marker to write on top of the permanent marker. Erase with a dry eraser, and then clean with EXPO® whiteboard cleaner.
To remove crayon, scotch tape, or other stubborn materials, apply a mild solvent or paste made with scouring powder and water.

Solid Surfacing
Solid Surfacing may be cleaned with a damp cloth and ordinary soap, household liquid detergent, household chlorine bleach, or (for matte finish) a powdered cleanser. Strong acid or alkaline drain cleaners and oven cleaners will damage the surface.
Stubborn stains or unusual damage can be repaired with Scotch Brite® pad #7448 or 320-360 grit sandpaper.
Severe damage can often be repaired by sanding with 120 grit sandpaper and then following with 220 grit paper. For matte finish, follow sanding with a Scotch Brite® pad #7447 (or equivalent) to match gloss level of sanded area to the surrounding area. Plastic or counter cleaner polishes will enhance the appearance.
Office Seating
Here is a consolidated list of cleaning guidelines for all Knoll Office Seating. With any cleaning agent, it is recommended that you test a sample area prior to applying to a larger area. Do not use abrasive sponges, highly acidic products or solvents containing ammonia. Seating components with an asterisk may be cleaned with the following six cleaning agents commonly used in healthcare facilities:

Precision Testing Laboratories subjected Generation’s structural components, including the Flex Back Net, to five cleaning solutions common to healthcare environments to assess any impact on the parts.
Evaluation
Each part was evaluated in a before-and-after comparative process. Test information on untreated parts was compared to test data from the same parts after exposure to the cleaning agents. These parts were evaluated for colorfastness, surface durometer, surface cracking, tackiness, luster, and surface finish.
Protocol
Each part was evaluated for its physical aspects. Then each part was immersed in a bath of cleaning agent for 15 minutes, after which an identical set of evaluations was conducted.
Cleaning Agents
The following solutions were tested and are approved for use on structural parts (in both Light and Dark finishes), including the Flex Back Net (in all colors):
+ Clorox Germicidal Liquid Bleach diluted 1:5 ratio to tap water (pH 3.7)
+ Clorox Cleanup undiluted 100% solution (pH 9.7)
+ Wex-Cide 128 Concentrate Phenolic Germicide by Wexford Labs diluted 1 ounce to
1 gallon tap water (pH 3.7)
+ Formula 880 Quaternary Germicide by Grand Technologies diluted ½ ounce to 1 gallon tap water (pH 8.1)
+ Hydroxi Pro Concentrate 128 by Core Products diluted 1:8 ratio to tap water (pH
7.2)
Parts Tested
The following parts were tested: arms, bases, casters, seat structures (not foam or upholstery) and the Flex Back Net.
Results
The laboratory found no negative result to the parts. The parts kept their original performance and appearance other than residue left by some cleaners, which can be easily removed with a wet cloth.
Additional Testing
In addition to the testing detailed above, Knoll has conducted internal testing of
Virox 5 RTU cleaning solution on Generation with no adverse affects.
Please note: Knoll can only attest to the results of the cleaning agents and solutions tested.
Seat Upholstery
The Generation by Knoll upholstered seat cushion was not tested. It can, however, be upholstered with the following types of high performance fabrics by KnollTextiles for use in healthcare applications. Visit KnollTextiles.com for specific patterns and colors and for application approvals on Knoll Office
Seating.
+ Crypton®: Moisture barrier plus stain, odor and bacteria resistance
+ Nano-Tex®: Soil and stain resistance; Nano-Tex® with DuraBlock: Moisture barrier plus soil and stain resistance
+ Polyurethane: Moisture barrier
+ Solution Dyed: Fade resistance
Healthcare environments require an easy to clean, easy to operate work chair that can withstand the rigors of a 24/7, multi- shift environment without sacrificing performance and comfort. Generation by Knoll’s Flex Back Net and structural components are flexible, light and durable.
They successfully passed testing for common healthcare cleaning agents. Below is a summary of the test process.
Cleaning For High-Use Environments
Regular Maintenance
It is important to vacuum upholstery regularly to remove the surface dust that builds up and slowly contributes to a greying effect that diminishes the clarity of the original color.
Please note that vacuuming should be done with the proper attachments to avoid breaking down the fibers and contributing to “pilling.”
In addition to regular vacuuming, a professional cleaner should come in at least once or twice a year to thoroughly clean the fabrics and remove the soiling that a normal vacuum cleaner cannot reach. The expense of this service is small compared to the reward of seating that looks good as new after a lot of use.
Cleaning Codes
W: Water-based cleaning agents or foam may be used for cleaning this fabric.
S: Only mild, pure water-free dry cleaning solvents may be used for cleaning this fabric.
W-S: Water-based cleaning agents and foam or mild, waterfree solvents may be used for cleaning this fabric.
W Bleach: Water-based or foam cleaning agents or diluted household bleach may be used for cleaning this fabric.
W-S Bleach: Clean with water or solvent-based cleaning agents or diluted household bleach.
X: This fabric should be vacuumed or brushed lightly to remove soil. Warning: Do not use water-based foam or liquid cleaning agents of any type on this fabric.
Cleaning vs Sanitizing vs Disinfecting
Cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing are often used synonymously, but they are not the same thing. Cleaning removes the visible foreign matter from a surface. Disinfecting, when done according to the instructions of a suitable cleaner, kills all bacteria and viruses present, while sanitizing reduces the level of bacteria and viruses present. Bleach cleanable woven fabrics may be sanitized and bleach cleanable coated fabrics may be disinfected. Please refer to CDC recommendations on disinfecting.
Bleach Cleaning & Disinfecting Steps
(W Bleach and W-S Bleach fabrics only)
STEP 1
Identify the recommended bleach:water cleaning ratio: A solution of 1 part household bleach to 4 or 10 parts water is recommended for cleaning KnollTextiles’ bleach cleanable fabrics. To find the recommended bleach:water ratio for a specific fabric, please refer to our Bleach Cleanable Fabric Specifications document.
STEP 2
Pre-Cleaning: Use a detergent or general-purpose cleaner to first remove soil, organic matter and any germs from the surface of the fabric.

STEP 3
Applying for Disinfection/Sanitization: Appropriate bleach solution may be used for wiping down or spot cleaning the fabric. No disinfectant can kill a microbe or virus immediately upon contact. It is important to follow all the instructions per the cleaning agent’s label, including those for dwell time.
STEP 4
Wiping Off: The bleach solution must be wiped off the product with clean water and a clean cloth in order to prevent fading or damage to the fibers or materials.
Stain Treatment
There are two types of stains: water-based and oil-based. The key to removing either type is prompt action. The longer a stain is allowed to remain on a fabric, the more difficult it will be to remove.
• For water-based stains, a solution of warm soapy water (not overly soapy) used in the following manner should remove them.
• In removing oil-based stains, the same procedure can be followed, but instead of warm water, a spray dry cleaning solution is used. Either treatment should be tried in a concealed part of the fabric first, to make sure there will be no adverse reaction between the dye stuffs and the cleaning solution.
STEP 1
Soak up excess staining material immediately with a soft absorbent material. Do not dry the stain completely or it may set.
STEP 2
Either by using the warm soapy water or a dry cleaning solution and a clean sponge or soft bristle brush, begin brushing the stain with light, quick strokes. Start at the outside of the stain and work toward the center. Be careful not to overly saturate the stain with cleaning solution or you may get a ring. Do not rub too vigorously or you may damage the nap of the fabric or break fibers.
STEP 3
Once the stain is removed, soak up all remaining cleaning solution and then use another clean cloth or sponge dipped in cool water to remove any residue that will attract further soiling.
STEP 4
Allow fabric to dry thoroughly and then vacuum well before using.
STEP 5
Several light applications are less harmful to fabrics than one concentrated one. If you go through the above steps and there is still a stain, repeat the entire procedure.
STEP 6
Remember, never use anything hot to clean fabric, as heat will set stains. Also, avoid a scrubbing motion.
STEP 7
If the stain is stubborn, call a professional cleaner and ask for their advice.
Cleaning Information
Spot Cleaning Treatment
STEP 1
As soon as possible, blot liquid spills with tissue, paper towels or a clean, colorfast cloth. Scrape and vacuum away dry, solid material. Avoid working soilant deeper into the fabric.
STEP 2
Apply household or commercial upholstery cleaner sparingly to the soiled area, as overwetting may spread the stain and damage cushion material under the fabric.
Rub gently with a clean, white cloth. Turn the damp cloth frequently to a clean surface to avoid redepositing the soilant.
STEP 3
Work from the outer edge toward the center of the spot to reduce ringing. Cleaning the entire fabric panel, or at least a large area around the spot, further reduces the likelihood or ringing. A final water rinse of the entire panel with a hot water extraction cleaner is preferable.
Note on Cleaning Agents
The following procedure should be used with all cleaning agents. A clean, white cloth dampened with the recommended cleaning agent should be used in an inconspicuous place to test for colorfastness. Optimum cleaning will be achieved by not overwetting the cloth and by turning it frequently to keep it clean. Rings can be avoided by working from the outer edge of the spot toward the center. This process should be repeated until the spot is removed or there is no further transfer to the cloth.
Note on Environmental Cleaning of W fabrics
Environmentally Friendly cleaners can be used for general purpose cleaning. A few are listed below (manufacturers are identified in parenthesis) These cleaners can be substituted for “detergent” when spot cleaning:
• Enviro Care All Purpose Cleaner (Rochester Midland)
• Enz-Away (Naturally Yours)
• N1 All-Purpose (The Clean Environment)
