The system is designed to connect teams and optimize real estate while supporting a broad range of users and the work they do.
At the heart of the Further system is the flexible hub, which provides power and data support for a variety of applications, whether beam-connected or freestanding. Further’s signature trapezoid worksurface allowd multiple configurations, provided unique user orientation that maximizes footprint efficiency, and accommodated focused or collaborative workspace. Whether a company’s planning approach is organic or linear, individual or team-based, Further brings flexibility to workspace planning.
