MUSCATINE, IA--(Marketwire - May 15, 2008) - The HON Company's Chicago office furniture
showroom will have a well-known "Office" visitor on Monday, June 9, 2008
during the NeoCon® World's Trade Fair. Rainn Wilson, best known for his
current role as eccentric paper salesman, "Dwight Schrute," on NBC's Emmy
award-winning series, "The Office," will make a day-long appearance in
HON's Showroom in Suite 1130 in Chicago's Merchandise Mart.
Wilson, one of the most recognizable faces from the network's "must see TV"
Thursday lineup, will appear in the HON showroom from 10-11:30 a.m. and
1-3:30 p.m. at NeoCon. During this time, fans will have the opportunity to
meet Wilson and obtain autographs and photos. NeoCon® World's Trade Fair
is the largest exhibition of contract furnishings for the design industry
in North America.
"From several notable and exciting product launches to Rainn's appearance
on Monday, The HON Company showroom is a 'must see' stop on any NeoCon
visitor's agenda," says Don Mead, The HON Company's vice president of
marketing. "Rainn and The HON Company are a perfect fit. HON is one of the
largest contract furnishings manufacturers in the United States. Rainn is
one of the most popular characters, not only on 'The Office,' but on
prime-time TV," said Mead. "Who better to help us roll out our new products
at this year's show? We're excited he is able to join us in Chicago while
we introduce a number of innovative, new products to the contract design
community. We're certain NeoCon 2008 will be HON's best show yet."
Before joining the cast of "The Office," Wilson first gained positive
acclaim from television fans and critics alike as somber mortician's
apprentice "Arthur Martin" on HBO's Emmy-winning series, "Six Feet Under."
He has also guest-starred on other television programs and has a number of
film credits to his name, including a hilarious cameo in the Oscar-winning
film, "Juno."
