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.
