Abak Environments

Proven heritage
Latest evolution of Abak, a beam-based product which has been successful with major corporations worldwide for over 10 years. Original concept conceived during the 1990’s by Italian designers Studio Kairos, the latest evolution is by UK designer Tim Wallace.

Worldwide solution
Designed as a globally-conforming product and supported worldwide, Abak Environments has a huge vocabulary that allows adaptation to local working cultures and needs. International customers can create consistent global standards and branding. Regional customers have international product quality at local lead times.

Refined appearance
Simple yet beautiful set of intelligent core components.
Maximum performance for minimal product life cost.

Versatile application
Extended vocabulary provides solutions from a basic table through to a high-performance system. Clients can create a complete office landscape from a single product platform. Applications include open office, closed offices, meeting rooms and break-out spaces. Applications support new planning workstyles with focus on how users work and collaborate.

Features and benefits
Beam system provides strength and connects clusters to optimise understructure and create new application possibilities.
All screening, wire management and accessories connect directly to beams allowing off-module planning and lower installation costs.
Worksurfaces and screening are height adjustable. New hinged beam connector simplifies the creation and installation of 120 and 90 degree planning applications and offers the ability to change between applications in the future with minimal redundant components. Contemporary finishes and fabrics are available including reflective and translucent elements to create a feeling of space.

Application information

Touchdown
Touchdown areas allow the mobile worker to ‘plug-in’ and feel at home right away by providing a flexible working space with convenient power and data access. The moveable components in Abak workstations allow the user to adjust the tables, screening and storage to suit their individual needs.

Formal collaboration
To encourage interactive working, teams need open environments with places to meet and work together. Abak provides a workspace flexible enough to accommodate a variety of workstyles and new technologies. Adjustable components, clear lines of sight and interchangeable workspaces encourage communication and support collaboration.

120-degree
120-degree configurations offer inviting workstations and comfortable personal space. Their shape allows creative planning and uses floor space economically. The minimal structure and translucent elements make a space feel larger and more open. Abak Environments’ broad range of screens, work surfaces and storage elements allows the users flexibility to personalise their workstation to meet their needs.

Performance wall
The performance wall divides space and supports work tools as well as delivering power and data to the workstations. Power and data points can be located at workstation height or just below for easy access. Screens, accessories and storage elements can be attached anywhere along the wall to maximise the efficiency and functionality of the workstation.

Cafeteria
The extended Abak vocabulary means it can be applied to all areas of the office including cafeteria and breakout areas. The clean, crisp finishes and versatile structure of Abak Environments allows creativity and functionality in any environment and offers a perfect solution for community spaces.

Private office
The attention to detail in the design of Abak, coupled with the new finishes and elegant, slender profile all amount to more than just ‘furniture’ for a private office. The wide choice of finishes and configurations mean that your office will be exactly as you want it to be.
