by Shane Henson — August 3, 2012—Teleworking employees who would like their home office to be just as functional as their company workspace, but perhaps more versatile and with a more comfortable feel, can now take advantage of BDI’s Semblance Modular System, a fully customizable collection designed by Matthew Weatherly that meets a multitude of needs by combining shelving and enclosed storage with workspace and technology components.

According to furniture innovator BDI, Semblance Office components are engineered to integrate technology into the workplace with two desks and two storage/file drawer modules, allowing the user to create endless configurations to meet a range of office needs. The inline and peninsula desks both provide smooth and luxurious work surfaces while their built-in cable management systems keep wires organized and out of view.

The inline desk includes a flip-down, neoprene-lined multifunction keyboard tray with storage for rechargeable items. Both desks include a removable kick panel for easy access to concealed wires and/or wall outlets and an optional back panel for use as a room divider. The office collection also features single-width or double-width drawer units that include a shallow storage drawer and a file drawer for hanging letter or legal-sized file folders.

A Semblance Storage system combines finished wood panels, glass shelves, storage cabinets and other elements that can be configured in countless ways. Partnering shelving and enclosed storage, Semblance creates versatile wall systems and room dividers. When used against a wall, Semblance can span any length. When used as a room divider, Semblance is recommended for lengths up to 100 in. (254 cm).

The Semblance Modular System is available in natural walnut, espresso stained oak, or natural stained cherry hardwood veneers. The shelves incorporate fingerprint-resistant, micro-etched black glass, and the cabinets feature micro-etched glass doors and soft-close hinges. While the shelving system is recommended for use on hard-surface floors or low-pile carpet, all panels include levelers to provide a sturdy foundation even on uneven floors. The steel and tempered glass construction assures strength and durability.
