CHANINTR, a leading retailer of luxury home and office furnishing and the authorized distributor of Herman Miller in Thailand, is proud to launch ‘Atlas Office Landscape’ a new height-adjustable work system designed by Tim Wallace.
Herman Miller’s long commitment to studying how people work has produced a string of products that help people feel and work better. This record of innovative design is now taking collaborative working to a new level with Atlas Office Landscape. Designed by Tim Wallace (designer of the award-winning Abak Environments), Atlas is a work system which brings together height-adjustability and collaborative working in one elegant solution. With a unique ‘no-beam’ structure, it frees the workplace from clutter so people can sit or stand in comfort, adapting postures to their activities.
Herman Miller’s heritage in pioneering work systems led us to approach designer Tim Wallace for a new height-adjustable solution which reflected the desking requirements for the 21st century. He immediately saw that there was the opportunity to create something that worked with the whole office environment. “The first issue is that so many sit-stand desks look like a piece of machinery rather than a piece of furniture,” says Tim. “Whatever we came up with had to be something people would be happy to live with. Another challenge comes when a single desk needs to be multiplied and then fitted into a space. I saw the opportunity for a system that really benefitted the working environment, both today and in the future.”

“One of the principle objectives,” Tim continues, “was to have a system which enhanced the working environment.” Atlas desks can be configured and tuned to fit different spaces and different ways of working. Shared cable management and personal stowage can be built into the workspace, capitalizing on the spaces between desks, or drop-in spaces can be incorporated into individual workstations. Meeting and project tables are also available to complement the offer.
“Ultimately, the flexibility of Atlas Office Landscape is its greatest strength,” concludes Tim. “Atlas isn’t constrained by structures traditionally seen in height-adjustable furniture, such as a modular beams and fixed under-structures. This means that a wide range of linked configurations, from rectilinear to 90-degree, z-plan layouts and more can be easily assembled from the same kit of parts.”
