Action Office System

Product Story
Evolution and intelligent design. The original open-plan office system continues to change and adapt to the ongoing evolutions in today’s workplaces. But some things should never change, and the fundamental Action Office design principles still apply: space-saving benefits, durability, design options, and interchangeable components. Action Office continues to provide economic value by virtue of simple specification, installation, configuration, management, and updating. This versatile, hard-working system truly preserves your investment.

A Fresh Approach
An evolving system that is never obsolete. Components manufactured today work just fine with the original generation of Action Office products. New product advances refine the appearance and enhance the system’s performance. The scale is lightened and given a clean, inviting look with new approaches. A thin base option (with quick-connect base power) installs with no tools. Enhanced glazed panels (glazed, partial-glazed, stacking glass, and door) have a clean aesthetic with minimized glazing frames and trim, and the infill can be clear or opal. Refined trim reduces top-cap scale, makes cleaner lines, and creates a cohesive look.

Built to Last
Action Office is a durable, well-built system that will provide a solid return on investment for your business.
Full-length, rigid steel connectors are the key to Action Office’s strength and durability; easy, fast installation and reconfiguration require just two tools and one person. The connectors align the panels automatically, and the steel construction ensures that they hold up over time, even with repeated reconfiguration.
The stress-skin construction allows the hard-working panels to meet or exceed industry requirements for strength and durability.

Economy
Action Office has been proven to be practical and economical over four decades of use. Its durability, low initial cost, and ability to be reconfigured and updated easily add up to savings as you maintain an effective office space.
Herman Miller supports Action Office furniture with a 12-year/3-shift warranty and a continuing commitment to research and improvement.

Earth-Friendly
You might be surprised at how green a product developed in the 1960s, when “green” signified the color you wore on St. Patrick’s Day, can be. The typical Action Office setup is made of 43% recycled content and is up to 34% recyclable at the end of its useful life.
Action Office components are made with sustainable materials: powder coating on all metal parts, and no VOCs; water-based stains, and no solvents; and sustainable woods only from managed forest resources, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Action Office features an environmentally sensitive design, which adheres to Herman Miller s Design for the Environment criteria.
