removed without disassembling the
workstation. Modular Desks are ideal when
maximum versatility and modularity is
required using the same components.
Modular Desks comprise an assembly of
parts that enable build up to 81 inches high.
The desks accept Structural Columns
that function as a vertical building plane,
allowing components to be added or
Suspended Modesty Panels provide discreet privacy and are available in frosted and back−painted glass, laminate and metal options.
One−inch−thick Floor Screens provide a cost−effective alternative to space division.
Worksurface Edge Screens provide partial privacy in open and collaborative applications. They are available in frosted glass and laminate.
One−inch−thick Floor Screens with glass provide enclo-sure while allowing natural light within workstations.
Center Add−On Screens and Desktop Cabinets mount off−module on the Desk−Mounted Shelf or can rest directly on the desk.
Two−inch−thick Freestanding Screens may be used alone or connected together to provide varying degrees of privacy. They function to enclose a workstation in side−wrap applications or behind desks to enhance corridor appearance.
Features
Low Credenzas provide ample storage while accommodating casual seating when used with a seat cushion. Shelving supports accept additional paper flow.
Ideal for collaborative areas, 29−inch−high Credenzas provide shared access from either side with a cubby space for additional storage.
Supporting Towers with side access shelving offer alternate planning and filing choices. A 1−inch−thick wrap−around case provides an integrated worksurface mount option.
Extended Supporting Towers provide additional functionality and space division.
Freestanding storage functions as a worksurface support when used underneath surfaces or attached from the storage side.
A collection of configurations meets individual needs including storage of personal items, filing and wardrobe.
Storage capacity is maximized vertically with Desktop Cabinets. Space below the units can be left open or enclosed with a glass or laminate divider. Tackboards install on the back of shared units for added functionality.
Modular Desks accept standard 52−inch−high Structural Columns that allow space−saving double overheads.
Features
An integrated access door on Spine Desks provides easy access to power and data underneath the worksurface.
An optional grommet on Spine Desks efficiently routes cables into the wire management channel.
Height−adjustable desks feature split worksurfaces with an adjustment range of 26–32 inches. The back surface remains fixed, maintaining height consistency of components above the worksurface supported by the Structural Column.
The Structural Column framework supports Elements, Overhead Storage, Countertops, Tool Rails, and accessories.
Electrical Expansion Desking is designed with an
integrated electrical management system,
facilitating quick installation and easy
reconfiguration without dismantling desks,
resulting in time and cost savings.
