Radial desks

A corner (or L-shaped) desk with a curve cut in at the seating area. Can either be left or right handed

 

Wave desks

A rectangular shaped desk with a wave cut in at the seating area allowing for one narrower end. Can either be left or right handed and are suitable for use with flat screen monitors

 

Rectangular (or Classic) desks

Extension desks

Bubble-end meeting tables

A rectangular desk with a circular desk attached to the end – giving it a ‘bubble’ shape at one end

 

Fixed pedestals

A drawer unit, which usually consists of 2 or 3 drawers, that is suspended under the work surface of the desk. A ‘single’ pedestal desk contains one set of drawers (on either right or left side) and a ‘double’ pedestal desk contains 2 sets of drawers.

 

Mobile pedestals

A drawer unit on wheels that fits underneath the desk

 

Desk high pedestals

A drawer unit that is the same height as a desk and fits at the end rather than underneath the desk

Screens

Come in free standing (with the option of being curved) or desk top styles. Desk top styles are useful for creating personal workspaces on a bank of desks.  The top can either be shaped (for example a wave) or flat top. There is also the option to have top vision styles which allow you to see through the top part of the screen.

 

Desk over unit

A unit which fits on top of a reception desk which keeps an untidy, paper filled desk out of sight from visitors

 

Filing Units

 

Anti-tilt mechanism

A device which stops more than one drawer being opened at once – this is to ensure the unit does not topple over onto the user if too many drawers are open and it becomes ‘front-heavy’

 

Tambours

Cupboards with shutter style drawers that slide across for easy opening without taking up extra space as an outward opening door would. Useful for tight spaces

 

Compressor plate

A metal divider designed to keep half full filing drawers tidy and pressed together
