‘Whoever said pleasure wasn’t functional’ Charles Eames
Partners is a highly versatile furniture system. Its hard-working practicality and modern design complement any office environment. It consists of a small number of ultra functional yet stylish components which can be customised to suit all applications. The wide range of finishes and sizes are designed to suit any interior. This flexible system adapts to meet the ever changing needs of today’s dynamic work spaces.
Innovative design
The innovative and adaptive support bracket and multifunctional post make Partners one of the most flexible systems on the market. The post can be extended above the worktop to support screens, tool rails or overhead storage while the cable management system accommodates the most complex of wiring requirements effortlessly. With no dedicated under frames, the Partners system can adapt to different shapes and sizes so it fits any application perfectly.
Creating a flexible work space
The Partners range is ideal for both open plan and cellular areas. The shared components can be easily reconfigured when you need to change the office layout and the small number of parts can be replaced or updated individually, reducing the lifetime cost. Lightweight screen tiles provide varying levels of light and privacy. And the furniture can be fitted with either fixed glides or heavy-duty castors for complete mobility.
Durable, recyclable and stylish
Over 90% of the components are recyclable, making Partners one of the most environmentally responsible furniture systems on the market. Every aspect of this understated system has been considered. Its wide range of finish options and outstanding functional performance are designed to enhance all work environments.
