Passage Desking System

Designed by Lynda Chesser and Bill Schacht

Passage—a desking systemAs a desking system, Passage includes modular desk units that serve as the basic building blocks upon which both the structure and the delivery of power and data are based. Systems CapabilitiesTechnology support: High-capacity power and data. Comprehensive storage: Flipper door units, shelves, and Meridian filing and storage products efficiently hold all kinds of materials.Space division: Stackable and full-height screens create various levels of privacy and enclosure; they can be changed without disrupting neighboring workstations.High-performance work surfaces: Available laminate and veneer in many shapes and sizes with height adjustability.Freestanding FlexibilityModular components: Desk modules come fully assembled, ready for individual or team use; modules plan without dimensional gain.Efficient change: Modular workstations don’t rely on panels, walls, or other workstations for support; reconfiguration doesn’t disrupt people working nearby.Mobile tables: Oval, concave, and D-shaped tables are height adjustable.Technology IntegrationLay-in cabling: Avoids extra work and possible damage due to cable threading.Large cable capacity: The primary cable channel holds up to 82 Category 5 cables at a 40 percent fill rate.Dependable power: The 4-circuit, 8-wire system supports heavy computer use and handles multiple specialized circuits.Convenient access: Power and data are under the work surface and at work surface height; raceways are easy to access from the front or back.AestheticsExtensive color palette: 61 paints, 40 laminates, 8 veneers.Curvilinear elegance: A number of curved work surface shapes with rounded edges; arc screens complement work surface curves.
