Antenna Workspaces by Masamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger, principals of Antenna Design, is a new approach to workplace design that reflects the freedom and mobility people seek in today’s office.

Antenna Workspaces considers the growing variety of settings where work takes place and blends desks, tables, storage units and screens to create intuitive solutions for individuals and groups. In the process, Antenna Workspaces suggests connections and boundaries between diverse work areas and establishes a new way to shape space, simplifying transitions between individual and group work.

A Strategic Approach to the Entire Office

Antenna creates work environments that respond to the needs of today’s dynamic workplace and go beyond the traditional boundaries of open plan, private office and collaborative areas. Antenna serves those who view the entire office as a canvas to support a variety of work modes throughout the day.

Solving for the Entire Office

In this work environment, there is a premium placed on striking a balance between individual and group activities and on being able to move freely and seamlessly between workstyles throughout the day.

+ Focus: Antenna desks link in clusters and combine with screens and storage to define individual areas for heads down work. The same desk elements work in private offices.

+ Share: Desk and table extensions add a collaborative element to individual spaces for quick sharing of information. Simple tables are the perfect fit in smaller rooms for one-on-one meetings or private phone calls.

+ Team: Antenna Big Table works as a collaborative workspace in the open plan and as a tech-savvy meeting room table to support the work done by teams.

Progressive Design

A Modernist Universe

One-inch square steel legs support floating slabs of wood, laminate or glass. Together, these seemingly delicate legs and cantilevered surfaces create a quintessentially modern composition of floating planes and crisp details.

Antenna’s neutral grace is a frank expression of function and its refreshing lack of pretense makes it stand out as well as fit in.

Natural Materials

Antenna introduces a tactile palette of surfaces not typically associated with the workplace, like cane and speaker cloth as well as expressive curves and bright colors. Antenna Workspaces offers new veneer finishes, underscoring Knoll’s preeminence as a manufacturer of refined wood solutions for total office environments.

Innovative Storage

Antenna’s broad range of wood and metal storage includes unique desk-mounted, big table or Fence-mounted, wall-mounted and freestanding cabinets. Antenna storage elements suggest boundaries without blocking visual access.

Antenna Workspaces Desks

Antenna begins with a simple structure—the table—that is inherently collaborative. The top rests on a base composed of two steel end legs and two tubular rails that span between them, linked by cast aluminum cradles. The result is an extraordinarily strong table.

The table is transformed into a desk with the addition of suspended or floorstanding storage, screens or power components. Desks can be linked and perpendicular return desks can be attached at any point to form L-shape or U-shape arrangements.

Antenna Workspaces Big Table

Back-to-back desk tops with shared legs can be linked to form the Big Table, a collaborative work setting that can support groups of any size in open plan environments, closed rooms and meeting areas.

The Big Table center beam enables upmounted screens, platforms and storage, suspended power components, and independent support of cantilevered shelves and monitor arms on either side. As with desks, returns can be attached at any point, and extended rails at the end of a Big Table support extension tops or storage cabinets.

Antenna Workspaces with Fence

Fence is a compact spine that doubles as freestanding housing for power and communications distribution, and offers the convenient placement of outlets at the center of a cluster of desks or tables.

Fence enables tables and desks to be partially supported or moved independently. Fence can also support screens or upmounted storage. Surface options for Fence include new slatwall, painted cable trays, laminate or wood covers designed for visual consistency with Antenna.

Antenna Workspaces with Template Storage

Antenna uses storage to define space with a wide range of options, from integration with the Template storage system to unique solutions created by the Antenna design team. Antenna desks can be supported from any height Template storage, including new 25" horizon to match Antenna legs.

Because of its compact depth, Template is also ideal as a storage wall that defines the perimeter of a workspace, provides privacy between Antenna desks or creates the “work wall” in a private office.
