These customizable workstations and freestanding storage units offer the ultimate in design flexibility. Sophisticated yet practical, Almanac workstations can be tailor-made to create your desired style and storage space. Glass, wood and metal (available in over 40 paint finishes) can be combined with a number of panel, wall and desking systems to develop a personalized configuration just right for you. http://www.teknion.com/products/filing-storage_almanac/default.asp?country=us
This is no ordinary AV Wall. Mural, by Nucraft, is available in several various configurations to meet your individual conferencing needs. A mix of aesthetics and functionality, the plasma screen and AV capabilities accommodate high-tech presentations and videoconferencing. As a static piece, it can be used as a white board and projection screen, while also providing storage, which makes it a functional furniture piece as well. http://www.nucraft.com/Products/Mural/index.htm#Hero
Is your desk a waste of space? Space Arm is a cool way to display your flat panel LCD monitor and free up your work surface. Created by SpaceCo, this clever floating monitor arm can swivel, rotate, tilt, raise and flip your LCD flat screen in a number of directions with just a slight tug or push. It transforms your ordinary flat screen monitor into a mobile piece that instantly moves and adjusts positions based on your work surface needs. http://www.spaceco.com/public/default.aspx?p=57
Instant Space from nienkamper Need privacy? This moveable, soundproof wall can be expanded up to 12 feet to create an instant barrier within a workspace. What's really cool about it? Instant Space doubles as a projection screen and is easily stored in an aluminum column to keep it out of sight. http://www.nienkamper.com/product.asp?cat=8&product=102
C-Style Lift-assisted Storage from Herman Miller Herman Miller's new C-Style overhead storage units have lift-assisted mechanisms for ADA accessibility. These compartments are similar to standard overhead storage, only they conveniently shift up and down so your belongings are never far out of reach. In addition to functionality, their sleek curved shape and variety of finishes make them aesthetically appealing as well.
