Uninterrupted Workflow

A new workspace system by OFS seamlessly breaks down barriers

Swiss architect Daniel Korb designed Eleven Work Space (1) with the
same eye for detail as he would a building. Believing that furniture is
architecture on a different scale, he reconsidered the bulkiness of
typical workspace systems. Korb's solution is minimal and streamlined
to be sure, but it’s also seamless—not a single fastener is visible. Yet, it
can be installed using only an Allen wrench.
“The name Eleven came about because it represents the
composition of the table frame—one leg, one extrusion,” Korb explains.
“The leg is the connector, and the frame’s profile becomes the basis for
every connection in Eleven’s system.” Made from extruded aluminum,
the legs can be spaced up to 10 feet apart, preserving valuable real
estate beneath work surfaces for integrated or free-standing storage.
With glass dividers (2) between workstations, lines of
communications are kept open. However, technology is more tightly

tethered: Eleven incorporates a rail system with optional wire
management, cleanly routing cables under the tables. Boxes (3) added
to the ends serve as additional storage and provide tall surfaces to
stand next to and hold informal meetings. The series also includes an
expanded conference table lineup ranging from 6 to 20 feet in standard
lengths.
“When you walk into a room that inspires you, you don’t say, ‘Hey, I
want to work at that desk,’ ” Korb says. “Instead, you say, ‘I want to work
here.’ ” Eleven will be on display at OFS in space 1132 during NeoCon®.
