There are many types of systems furniture in California. However, many people choose
popular furniture systems which might not be the right option for their spaces.
This is why you should know about different system furniture options so you can
make an informed decision.
Panel System
This is the original archetype of system
furniture, which was created by Robert Propst. His Action Office system was
based on space-saving principles, design options, interchangeable components
and durability. Currently, this is one of the most popular systems types. The
panel system has a panel as the structure. This carries power and data, while
creating personal and focused workstations. The components of this system are
hung from the panels. The panels are available in varying sizes typically 42”,
36” and 30”. The components can be hung at the panels’ intersections or at
varying intervals along these panels. The main advantage is that it creates
personal space while data and electricity are carried via the panels.
Desking
With the desking system, the desk serves as the
structure. The legs of a desk and desktop support the components. Panels are
used to create privacy that mount on the desk surfaces. The storage in this
system is mounted to desktop or desktop side. Power and data is usually run via
the desk or via storage components. Storage components act as the power/divider
and are known as storage spines. In most cases, desking systems are used with
panel systems. Their major benefit is a designed aesthetic. This is because
different furniture pieces as well as height create different office landscapes
with private offices and workstations that maintain a consistent look.
Additionally, this system accommodates varying work styles with ease due to its
desktop, storage components and low height.
Benching
Benching is a systems furniture option that has a
compact style. It uses a shared, long work surface that connects workstations.
Furniture pieces can be used to indicate personal space. These include storage
credenzas or peds that separate the work zones. Accessories like lighting, work
pads and desktop storage can be used to indicate personal space. Although this
system furniture option is popular in Europe, you can get it with vendors like Rose Young Work. The major benefit of
this system furniture is the smaller workstation footprint. The components of
benching can be employed in meeting rooms, office and collaborative spaces
among others due to its flexibility.
Cluster System
This is system furniture that is clustered around
central components. The components carry data, power and HVAC to other
furniture systems.
Beam System Furniture
Beam system furniture runs between components
carrying structure, data and power. This is an off-module system. This means
that it is possible to create small or large spaces between the workstation.
120 degree
This is more of a form of planning. However, it
uses desktops to create a 120 degree angle. This creates a shape that is more
organic to a landscape and workstation. It enables users to face oncoming
traffic while creating privacy.
