Antenna™ Workspaces from Knoll

Created by Masamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger, the principals of Antenna Design, Antenna Workspaces is a new approach to the workplace that supports the freedom and mobility people seek in today’s office. Desks, tables, screens and storage combine and recombine in a seemingly infinite number of ways for open plan environments, private offices and meeting spaces.
The series just won an Innovation Award from NEOCON 2010.

Four panel-free Antenna Workspaces planning types create intuitive furniture solutions for simpler transitions between individual and group work: the Antenna Workspaces Desk; the Antenna Workspaces Big Table; Antenna Workspaces with Knoll Fence (spine-based planning); and Antenna Workspaces with Knoll Template (storage-based planning).

“Antenna Workspaces offers a straightforward, yet diverse, approach for today’s changing office landscape. Antenna Workspaces balances the needs between the individual and the group with a no-nonsense simplicity that supports a new way to shape space,” said Pardo.

The system has been designed around a central Rails concept which allows users to add or subtract easily (via clamping) the neccessary structural elements for the workplace needs eg below desk storage , cable trays, above desk shelving, screens etc.. Antenna Workspaces is a very flexible and versatile system using a small kit of parts – which are very easily reconfigurrable by the client themselves.

Antenna Workspaces is manufactured using clean technologies with recycled and readily recyclable materials and has been designed for easy disassembly. Components are PVC-free and fiberglass free and are also available with FSC-certified components at no up charge. Antenna Workspaces can contribute to achieving LEED® credits.
