Passage Desking System Photos
By blending the advantages of freestanding and systems furniture, the Passage desking system works equally well in enclosed offices and open spaces, in individual and team settings. As a freestanding system, Passage has preassembled, modular units that are easy to specify, order, and install. And, like systems furniture, it has advanced technology integration and comprehensive storage options.

Passage--a desking system
As 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 Capabilities
Technology 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 Flexibility
Modular 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 Integration
Lay-in cabling: Avoids extra work and possible damage due to cable threading.

Large cable capacity: The primary cable channel is a continuous, grounded metal barrier that holds up to 123 Category 5e 4-pair UTP cables at a 60 percent fill rate; 96 Category 6 at 60 percent.

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.

Aesthetics
Extensive 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.
Design Story

The Passage freestanding furniture system was designed to provide flexible, attractive work environments for private and open-plan offices with exceptional storage and easy reconfiguration. It is completely freestanding and delivered partially assembled. Each unit is independent of the others and built for the realities of today's business world. That is, Passage furniture is built to handle reconfiguration, reorganization, and reengineering.

To keep work organized and accessible, the Passage freestanding furniture system includes a broad range of storage options, more than any freestanding furniture system can match. With Meridian storage products and an array of desktop accessories, Passage furniture was designed to put work in its place--and people in control. Passage features advanced cable management with easier access and better electrical features than you would ever expect from freestanding furniture.

Passage was designed to provide superior function with a great look at an affordable price. In other words, it was designed to make choosing it a very intelligent decision.
