by Shane Henson — October 24, 2012—Office and facilities managers looking to create more modern workspaces that encourage collaboration can now choose from pieces within AGATI Furniture’s Manifest Desking System.
The Manifest Collection evolved during owner and president Joe Agati’s European travels, the company says. He began to notice a shift toward more open, collaborative settings. Agati designed his Manifest around the idea of a unit lighter in scale and design, while being highly configurable to accommodate groups of varying sizes and work needs.
Optional returns and mobile tables allow for easier and more spontaneous collaboration, whether choosing from the standard, straight bench, 120-degree pod or the aesthetically pleasing “zigzag” station. Easy to set up and install, the Manifest supports wire management in an organized wire management basket that allows dual-sided access to electrical. Accessories include panel dividers in 3Form, wood, laminate or tack boards, as well as optional shelving and pedestals. Work surface tops are also available in wood or laminate, Agati says.
Built upon institutional standards that have become an AGATI signature, the Manifest features a durable, cantilevered table top. Behind its modern design, the Manifest is solidly constructed to withstand the rigors of everyday use, allowing it to effortlessly transition between all markets, the company adds.
