The Foundations collection draws upon a contemporary minimalist aesthetic,
paring down furniture structure and surface to its essence to reveal an architecture
of simple horizontal and vertical planar elements. The comprehensive collection
includes conference tables, desks, wall storage units, credenzas, video presentation
displays and lecterns. Each piece is designed to serve the needs of a changing
office landscape, elevating the look and function of the private office and taking
into account the diverse uses of meeting rooms in the modern work environment.

Private Office Settings
Today’s private office is less formal, more functional. Foundations casegood com-
ponents for the private office include modular desks, credenzas and wall storage
units punctuated by niches set into the vertical plane of the unit. Evoking modern
architectural facades, the striking design also allows for a higher level of flexibility in
the office space. Personal items or work tools can be stored in the niches, desks and
storage components that combine to suit individual workstyles. Wall units can also
be fitted with indirect lighting along the top edge to provide ambient illumination.

Meeting Room Environments
Today’s conference rooms and meeting areas are active multi-functional spaces where
impromptu collaboration or group project work takes place. Driven by economy
and function, Foundations modular tables are ideal for a workplace defined by
technology, collaboration and change. T-legs sustain a clean, crisp look and the
minimal structure leaves all table edges unobstructed for seated users. Modular
tabletops allow for the use of contrasting finishes and materials to create a range
of aesthetic effects, as well as the installation advantages of modular components.
