It’s about possessing the freedom to define more than just a work space.

When it comes to office furniture, the rules change gradually over time. The question is, are you really in the mood to wait around?Having the satisfaction of responding to “you can’t do that" with “just watch me." And bigger yet, it’s the peace of mind knowing you won’t have to swim in a sea of

Simply Raw —

it’s just the beginning.

Frames in silver. Standard

corrugated plexi-dividers

create visual privacy.

Organic-shaped Raw

worksurfaces with overhead

frames are employed

to house “task” lig

hting.

A Contrada freestanding

desk is used for additional

worksurface and to

promote teamwork.

Raw

frames

available

in charcoal

or silver.

Raw inspiration — creative freedom at your fingertips.

Raw, slightly funked. Art is added to frames as dividers

for instant attitude and personality. Wood-slat awnings

encapsulate the user and provide a semi-private

environment. Smaller worksurfaces are

attached to frames at waist level

for hoteling, loitering.

Raw to the nines —

Contrada tiles working

seamlessly with

Raw frames. Window,

fabric, and tackable

Contrada tiles lend style,

functionality, and privacy.

Tower extended to just

over seven feet for added

storage. Contrada work-

surfaces in black. Fabric

in blue. Frames in silver.
