Global Furniture Group’s Open Spaces
Open Spaces brings a sense of place and belonging to the next generation of the open office workplace. A palette of materials and finishes surrounds the softened geometry of each shape and surface. Standing or sitting, everything to support your day is within reach, you’re relaxed, and you feel at home.

The backbone of the Spaces ecosystem is Open Spaces' purpose-designed power beam. An elevated, freestanding raceway, the power beam decouples worksurfaces from the power structure to provide greater flexibility. The power beam's upper frame structure easily supports storage elements and work tools while creating a sense of privacy and space division.

Open Spaces is easy to reconfigure, allowing for a wide range of layout possibilities, from straight runs to zig zags and wing runs to bullpen enclosures. Expand your possibilities with a range of freestanding or semi-supported desks, privacy screens, modesty panels, whiteboards, pegboards, planters and lighting options. Open office and semi-private environments, student computer labs and touch-down spaces are popular applications.

Framery’s Framery One Lounge
Building upon the success of the original Framery One smart pod, Framery introduces the Framery One Lounge. This latest innovation reimagines the solo work experience by integrating superior lounge-style seating into the familiar, high-performing smart pod design. It evolves the concept of a personal workspace, catering to productivity, comfort, and moments of respite throughout the workday.

Framery One Lounge features the same world-class sound insulation, smart technology, comprehenive ventilation and optimized lighting that established Framery One as the gold standard in office pods. The new interior offers a soft, grounded environment that brings comfort and calm—while preserving the high-performance functionality that teams rely on every day.

Smart. Comfortable. Versatile. Framery One Lounge redefines what a solo pod can be, without compromising what made it a favorite in the first place. It's a natural next step in the evolution of solo workspaces, and a reflection of a workday that values preservation as much as performance and productivity.

Formica Corporation’s InDepth Surfacing
A new premium product category, InDepth Surfacing by Formica Corporation incorporates a new precision inline print technology that results in a synchronized embossed matte texture with light-reflecting details. 

The result is a visually dynamic, high-performance textured surface suitable for a vertical, horizontal, postformed and flat applications in high-end commercial environments such as hospitality, higher education, and luxury office spaces.

Arktura’s Tapestra
Spool, part of our Tapestra collection, is a new family of acoustic ceiling modules that make use of flexible PET felt fabric. 

Drawing inspiration from textile manufacturing, Tapestra achieves previously inaccessible curvilinear designs and patterns that bring flowing, elegance, and organic gestures into the design vocabulary of Arktura’s innovative felt acoustic systems.

Clarus’ Lynk

Lynk is the first-ever digital glassboard designed to supercharge team collaboration in commercial spaces. What’s so special? It’s a glassboard and digital whiteboard in one. Write notes on the sleek glass and host meetings and presentations with the digital board—all in one unit.

But that's not all that makes Lynk different. Its collaboration technology is in a league of its own. Instead of typical virtual meetings with a single presenter and people taking turns, Lynk lets everyone contribute at once—as if they’re all in the same room. 

The Canvas App (exclusive to Lynk) lets team members brainstorm at the same time. Add images, lists, charts, PDFs—anything to bring your team's ideas to life. Lynk users can also annotate on any app for all to see. For instance, a presenter can add notes or circle key points on their slide deck and all virtual viewers can see it in real-time.
