Post-Pandemic Workplace

It’s evident the pandemic will forever change where and how we work – to what extent remains to be seen. It will also impact our physical work environment. As we prepare to return to work, we need to consider both short-term and long-term furniture solutions that can help pave the way. Our primary goal during this time is to support you with ideas and options that:

complement your existing space
support wellness
can be easily incorporated
consider your budget

We're here to listen to your concerns. Let's work together—even if we're apart—to provide you with the work environment you need to move forward and remain flexible. Together, we’ll figure out what works.

Proximity for Personal Space

Bringing people together may mean keeping them apart. KI offers several ways to support social distancing within the office, including height-adjustable screens, dividers and panel toppers. Available in a variety of materials, these products can be specified for different uses such as barriers or acoustics without sacrificing aesthetics.

Adjustable-height Universal Screens can be retrofitted to the back and/or sides of a work surface. Available in six lengths at 24” high when fully deployed. Available as standard on our Pirouette, Toggle and WorkUp tables; other surfaces considered upon request. A clamp-on version makes Universal Screens a quick fix.

Connection Zone Benching Dividers

Easy-to-clean dividers and privacy screens can be retrofitted to Connection Zone benching applications, providing a framework for personal space. Divider screens (shown in photo) are available in 13”, 19” and 31” heights. Material options include acrylic, acrylic markerboard and upholstered tackable fabric. Frameless privacy screens are available in 13” or 19” heights. Material options include translucent or colored acrylic and clear or satin-etched temper safety glass.

Unite Panel System Toppers

Stack toppers onto existing Unite panels to provide a new level of separation. Panels can be stacked without impacting the power/data running through the system. The frameless glass option allows for easy cleanability, while maintaining daylighting. Upholstered panels can easily be re-specified with a hard surface that is quick and easy to wipe down.

Tattoo Screen Toppers

An optional 12” high topper can be retrofitted to a Tattoo screen to help act as a barrier for employees who are standing. Available in acrylic or polyester felt in a range of colors.

Flexibility for Your Shared Spaces

With a situation in flux, furniture must flex. KI has several products that can be used to delineate space, separate teams or cordon off areas. And the unique design of the Tattoo Collection places control of the workspace directly in the hands of employees. It’s flexibility at its finest.

All Terrain Screens

All Terrain screens can be easily configured to serve as temporary workspace dividers. Available in a variety of sizes, screens feature a three-point base for easy movement. Optional four-point bases add stability for semi-permanent applications. Casters come standard. Glides can be purchased separately. All Terrain screens offer several material options, including markerboard, upholstered tackable, fluted plastic and tool rail.

Connection Zone Screens

Connection Zone Screens are freestanding mobile screens with writable surfaces. Use individually or gang together to define and create a fluid working space. Easel hooks allow for easy attachment and removal of pads, while the integrated shelf holds markers and erasers. Screen surface options range from solid white to translucent with graduated opacity, which creates a lightness of scale and allows the permeation of light in and around the surface.

Tattoo Collection

Designed specifically for employees to rethink and rearrange their space, the Tattoo Collection offers a dynamic solution to shifts in business. No need to draw new floor plans, order parts or schedule installation. Each element in Tattoo is proportionately scaled to work together in various configurations – from open to isolated and back again. And, Tattoo elements arrive fully assembled.
