The New York project in the Be.1 catalogue is worth reading as a plan rather than a photograph. The office was drawn to maximise the view and the closeness to Prospect Park, with a minimalist palette that lets a central blue volume carry the room and a sculptural slatted timber wall act as the focal point. The workstations follow the full length of the central body, leading from the executive area into a lighter space that holds the meeting and conference rooms. That kind of continuous run only works if the desking keeps one depth and one height from end to end.
That is what Be.1 supplies. Designed by Progetto CMR on a frame in white, green grey or black, it works on two depths – 49.2" and 65" – at a fixed 29.1" working height, across single desks, team benches and modular meeting tables. Screens come in melamine, fabric or frosted glass; the Nomad Table moves on braked castors; the Mediawalk partition stands free on its own wheels at 74.4" high. The run down the central core stays one continuous line because nothing in the family changes height.
