NARRATE ®

When it comes to today’s open office landscape, visual expression is

more essential than ever.

Whether it is a first impression or sustaining ever-changing workplace

activities, the interior plays an important role in communicating the

company’s voice, character and aspirations. Environment aesthetics set

an important tone—whether bold or subtle, dramatic or contemporary.

Visual expression can happen anywhere, yet for decades, system

layered panels, seamed panels and more. The collection allows

designers to incorporate ‘shelters’, creating visual interest, acoustical

separation or to encourage private thinking areas. With an advanced

infrastructure, Narrate fully supports teams with a seamless integration

of storage, technology, and the choice of static or height-adjustable

work surfaces. What’s more, technology is effortlessly incorporated

with the ease of connection through any panel and cleanly concealed

surfaces and materials have largely been ignored. Narrate changes that

in dramatic style, emphasizing the personality of a brand and creating

positive experiences in today’s workplace.

Narrate offers a streamlined framework to tell your brand story

throughout the workplace landscape. While bringing together a wide

range of complementary components and products, Narrate’s end panel

system can be outfitted with customized graphics, mixed materials,

throughout the system. Narrate works hard for you, instinctively

combining design, technology and flexibility to support a dynamic

workplace environment.

Let your brand story unfold through the expressive, flexible design

system of Narrate.
