Overview With the mobility afforded by technology – and the
number of people who now work remotely – many companies are
moving to smaller spaces or trimming the size and number of
workstations to allocate more space for spontaneous interaction.
At the same time, companies are beginning to recognize the
importance of enclaves that provide privacy for individuals or small
groups of workers engaged in informal collaboration. Consequently,
the need arises for furniture designed specifically for the various
solo and collective activities that these spaces support. SidewiseTM
is a unique response to the new needs of business and people at
work. Sidewise is a compact casegoods workstation or
collaborative hub suitable for one to three resident and non-
resident workers in small enclaves. Sidewise comprises a
worksurface and vertical storage positioned at the side of the
workstation, turned 90 degrees from the worksurface and thus,
requiring a minimum of space. Lounge-, desk- and counter-height
worksurface configurations address a range of user needs and
preferences for more dynamic workstyles. Clean lines and refined
details contribute to a look of simple elegance. Sidewise rep-
resents comprehensive thinking to meet the needs of people
whose work allows for or requires different levels of focus,
collaboration and mobility.
07
Inspiration The Sidewise concept arose from insight into a key
need for spaces in-between the open setting and the traditional
meeting room or private office. The typical private office is in use
only 50 percent of the time and bookable meeting rooms are
often unoccupied. Small groups of people commonly meet in large
conference rooms that are neither welcoming nor an efficient use
of space. Enclaves – typically less than 120 square feet and used
or shared on a temporary basis – address these inefficiencies.
Enclaves function for different levels of focus, interaction and
mobility. The enclave can function as a touchdown space for
visiting employees, contractors or clients; a go-to space for
confidential conversations; or a meeting space for three or
four team members. By locating enclaves adjacent to open work
areas, resident workers can use the space on an ad hoc basis
when privacy or focus is required. Sidewise offers a concise set of
elements – worksurface, storage and a technology bridge – that
create a complete and unified workstation or collaborative hub.
A refined contemporary aesthetic complements other Teknion®
furniture products, including Altos® and Optos® full-height
architectural wall systems that provide a degree of visual and
acoustic privacy, along with the desired level of function and
comfort in a small footprint.

Advantages Sidewise offers singular advantages in the modern
workplace where it’s important to do more with smaller spaces by
constructing clever, scaled-down workstations that work for the
individual, the team and the organization. Sidewise is a simple
kitted collection that makes it easy to plan the workspace. It is
built around a worksurface and storage unit that can be configured
as a single- and double-sided workstation or group meeting
space. The Sidewise line includes:
Lounge-height packages – Recliner; Meeting Hub
Desk-height configurations – Single-sided Desk; Consultation
Hub; Meeting Hub
Counter-height offering – Consultation Hub; Meeting Hub
Storage and miscellaneous accessories
17
Space Optimization Sidewise provides optimal function in less
real estate. It is designed for enclaves, retreats and wellness
rooms, private offices and other small spaces in the office
environment. Beyond the corporate setting, Sidewise is appropriate
for libraries and academic environments, retail, banking and
service-oriented industries. Sidewise maximizes the use of hori-
zontal and vertical space.
The unique monolithic vertical storage component – turned 90
degrees from the worksurface – offers structural support while
minimizing the workstation footprint
The vertical monolithic also provides single- or double-sided
access while meeting lower-density public and personal storage
needs
The lateral positioning of the storage component, along with
space-saving, side-access slide-out doors/drawers, makes it
easy to access stored items from a seated position with no need
to back up one’s chair
A range of worksurface heights at 24, 29 and 36 inches en-
hances space and user versatility

Summary The complexities of the contemporary workplace require
an evolved consideration of planning and space allocation. While
organizations vary, in all cases it is essential to create alternate
locations that meet the needs of individuals or small groups doing
focused tasks. Organizations need spaces where individuals can
casually touch down for an hour, a day or a week and where people
can meet and collaborate on an impromptu basis rather than
booking large meeting rooms. Enclaves are a key feature of a
workplace scenario no longer defined by the static structure of the
private office, the conference room and the cubicle. Designed to
support both individual and collective work, Sidewise is ideal for
enclaves and other small spaces to accommodate new workstyles,
integrate new technologies and optimize space. As designer
Christopher Wright has said, Sidewise offers “a transformational
solution” for a workplace undergoing a rapid process of evolution.
