If you are looking for the most durable office furniture available to stand up to the rigors of your workplace, than Latitude by Inline Systems is for you.

Steel reinforced office furniture. Like no other.

Most units like the one pictured above would break apart at the seams if you lifted it off the ground unsupported like this.  But not Latitude.  Latitude is used in places like aircraft carriers, where the furniture must stand up to constant motion and potential stress.

Notice the raised modesty panel which gives clear access to outlets.

Canadian Federal agencies will find InLine Systems in the NMSO for Office Furniture.

One of the newest additions to the Teknion family of office furnishings is the Marini task chair.  We now have a sample of this handsome chair in our showroom at Signature Office Interiors in Abbotsford.

Strong, Refined, Contemporary. Marini by Teknion

Marini is a high-performance executive task chair designed with fine details and classic elegance. Luxurious yet subtle in style, Marini is well-suited for executive offices and boardrooms.
The chair was designed by Conrad Marini, the well-known international designer and developer of successful seating products for major North American and European office furniture companies.

The full brochure of the Marini is available for download.

If you are considering purchasing new office task chairs, please please do have some fun selecting fabrics and colors to match your office and furniture.
The old “black goes with everything” may be true, but it’s also boring and depressing for the staff.

Why not liven things up and use the opportunity to create some more atmosphere and style for your company?  There is no reason not to put in the same effort selecting and coordinating your office as you do your home.  The difference between a grade 1 and a grade 2 fabric is not great, yet just moving up one grade normally adds about 3X the choices to your selection.

Two fabrics on the same chair. Think unconventional!

Keep in mind that not all fabrics are created equal.  If you plan on keeping the chair until the next century, you should consider the durability of the fabric.  Durability is measured and rated on fabrics as “Double-Rubs”.   You might find a fabric with a double-rub rating of 100,000 and think “Whoa, that’s pretty good!”  Then the next fabric might have 1,500,000 double-rubs.

Above all, I truly do emphasize that you select a fabric that you love.  If you skimp a few bucks and then are tired of it or disappointed in a few months, it was a bad purchase.  Ensure that this won’t happen but choosing something that you reacted to positively right off the bat.

Are you aware that by purchasing Architectural walls, you can install your entire structure of walls within days, instead of the weeks it would take with drywall and conventional construction?  Architectural walls still allow you to run all your electrical, data and phone wiring also.  No one likes the mess and noise of conventional construction.  Architecural walls, such as Altos from Teknion, is a perfect alternative.

Architectural Walls at their best

Altos’ unique universal framework allows changes in elevation, dimension, Fascia function and finish to maximize the life of the product.

Here is a flash demo of  the Altos architecural walls by Teknion.

Altos provides a perfect balance of form and function:

· Understated Design – clean, crisp European aesthetic.

· Functionality – fully relocatable, modular wall system.

· Integration – interfaces with building architecture and integrates with furniture products.

· Sustainability – reusable parts promote environmental responsibility.

· Acoustics/Performance – ability to block sound transmission surpasses drywall.

· Return on Investment – easily reconfigured components translate to low cost of ownership.

· Technology – clear wall cavity accepts four types of electrics, both hard-wired and quick-disconnect systems; as well as standard off-the-shelf UL/CSA approved boxes.

Bare metal filing cabinets, especially the standard black, grey and putty ones, are so drab that they detract from the aesthetics of your office.  Why not make them part of the decor and revitalize your entire office?  You can put life back into your file cabinets by adding new magnetic facings to them.

Facements offers many options of many in fabrics, laminates, veneers, white board surfaces and tack-able surfaces which will improve both the look and the functionality of all your filing.

Before

After

As you can see, there is a HUGE difference in the look and the feel of this lateral file.

The after image clearly shows the warmth and texture added over the old cold steel look.

Interior Designers love Facements for obvious reasons.

Tackboards

What a great way to finish off the backs of file cabinets that have visible backs.  Now a non-sterile looking hallway can be created with this incredibly simply applied product.  Guests and clients will be impressed and staff will be happier in their “new” surroundings.

Facements are available in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland through Signature Office Interiors of Abbotsford.

As a Teknion dealer for the Fraser Valley, we have a large variety of Teknion products in our Signature Office Interiors showroom, including the very modern District line.

Teknion has created a great number of really effective animations showing just how versatile their products are and how they can be reconfigured down the road.

Here is the District series animation showing the main features specific to District.

If you are ever in the area, stop by our showroom in Abbotsford to see District for yourself.

Great for the classroom or library

Artopex (Canadian Office Furniture manufacturer) makes these funky looking stations.

Serving a multitude of possible purposes, you can order them with the following options to choose from:

• size of the work surface
• width and height of the corresponding rear panels
• many many options of laminates to choose from.
• Choice of connectors & caps; Blue, Red, Gray, Clear
• Quarter-round acrylic separator panels or full-rectangular panels for increased privacy

These stations can also be set up back to back.  This allows the center supports and panels to be shared, thus decreasing the overall cost per station.
