TEKNION PREVIEWS EUROPEAN-DESIGNED ie FURNITURE SYSTEM AT NEOCON 2004

Full line of tables, mobile and beam-mounted storage units, screens and accessories an alternative to North American panel systems

Teknion Corporation recently announced the first showing of its popular new ie furniture system in the United States during NeoCon in Chicago from June 12-14. ie is an alternative to more traditional North American systems furniture, yet incorporates many of the benefits inherent in office panel systems.

“ie provides an architectural framework with virtually endless planning possibilities,” said David Feldberg, President and CEO. “It has its own unique aesthetic, with light, clean lines that don’t tend to overpower the space. ie is a logical extension of Teknion’s integrated product portfolio rather than a radical departure − a creative new outlook on solving changing workplace requirements around the world.”

A minimum number of multi-use components combine to create simple, freestanding desks to highly functional workstations − and everything in between. Shared, non-handed worksurface supports streamline workstation reconfiguration and inventory management.

ie can be configured and reconfigured to create fixed and mobile workstations arranged around the central post, used as freestanding workstations, or arranged in combinations that best meet working requirements. The central post offers both conventional 90-degree and
120-degree planning possibilities, and in 15-degree increments for virtually unlimited layout variations. Modular 20-inch posts allow workstations to be built up to the required height or lowered as needed.

The European design heritage and innovative use of screen materials give ie its distinct aesthetic. A selection of screens in a variety of heights and materials, textures and finishes can be used to create a light and open workplace ambience, and to create various levels of
privacy. Various textures and looks are possible within the space division components, including such new materials as translucent polycarbonate and a mesh membrane screen. All standard Teknion fabrics and finishes as well as wood are available on ie.
