"Rhythm fits well into smaller floor plans, serving
as either a private workstation or a meeting space.
It features refined yet comforting aesthetics and
offers the customization level of the home office.
Rhythm helps center workspaces around people
rather than hierarchy."

"Herman Miller's Locale is infinitely modular and flexible: It can be
easily and rapidly reconfigured as companies grow and their needs
evolve. The design accommodates today's digitized workplace
and incorporates tech while staying clean and pristine."

"Poppin's Series A table is an ingenious solution for
modern workplaces where the lines between work
and play are blurred. A conference table that turns
into a ping-pong table offers a witty commentary
on the changing times."

"Credentials offers a modern take on casegoods design. Providing
a sit-to-stand work surface, a magnetic glass back panel with function
and beauty, and integrated power for a seamless design, Gunlocke's
design has numerous components to fit every need."

"Created with hospitality in mind, Core delivers
a clean and modern approach to workplace cafe
design. This is a great table because it comes in
a wide variety of surface finishes and metal bases,
making it a flexible, sleek addition to any space."

"This supports multiple types of gatherings,
including lounge and collaboration. The TV monitor
is integrated into the support wall and technology
is built into the tabletop for digital sharing
and interaction. It includes hidden storage units
with trash and recycling bins, a coffee station,
and operable marker boards."

"This is a collection of movable and adjustable
pieces inspired by the intrinsic qualities of
fabrication and manufacturing. The assortment
of furniture includes a bench and presentation
whiteboard, along with utility, occasional, and
Parsons tables for maker spaces and contemporary
office settings."

"Floyd's Utility Set offers the perfect opportunity
for the user to incorporate reclaimed materials with
industrial finishes for an eclectic flare. Its support
system of cross-bracing nylon straps thread
through four solid steel corner legs to hold
anything from antique doors to marble slabs."

"Designed by Konstantin Grcic and made with raw wooden panels,
Hack provides a flexible desk solution that challenges tradition
with configurations that include options for sitting, standing,
and lounging. Hack would be ideal in a creative or technology-driven
office environment that incorporates both historical and
contemporary architectural features."
