HUMANSCALE DESIGN STUDIO TO UNVEIL TECH-SAVVY
DESKING CONCEPT
Slim Desk Offers Space Savings, Integrated Technology and More
NEW YORK, May 7, 2007 — The Humanscale Design Studio will unveil a prototype of its new desking solution at the upcoming International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City. The Slim Desk is a revolutionary concept designed to offer space savings and integrated technology while supporting a suite of ergonomic tools for a healthy and comfortable workstation experience.
Designed to meet the challenges of today’s home or office work environment, the Slim Desk provides convenient storage and technology access in a unique and attractive design. A built-in power supply, USB dock, and data ports—including speaker and microphone—are conveniently positioned within the user’s reach. A pair of sliding panels keep technology access out of sight and out of the way, and also provide storage space below the work surface. Notebook computers up to 17” are easily stowed in this area.
The Slim Desk offers added ergonomic function and space savings through its integration with Humanscale’s Access Rail. Compatible with slatwall-mount products by a wide range of manufacturers, the Access Rail provides a convenient mounting surface to which desktop tools may be attached in easy-to-reach positions while keeping valuable desktop space clear for other tasks. Monitors, task lights, printers and faxes, telephones, and paper management devices are easily mounted to the Access Rail to enhance ergonomic comfort.
To maintain order and enhance the Slim Desk’s streamlined aesthetic, convenient cable management is hidden within a leg of the desk. Additionally, keyboard supports and CPU holders can easily mount to the Slim Desk’s underside.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the Slim Desk is constructed of aluminum extrusions, molded plywood and steel. The Slim Desk is 99% recyclable and designed for quick disassembly.
