Rockwell Unscripted™ Steps

Rockwell Unscripted Steps are building blocks for touchdown seating offering you the choice of where to perch and work. As simple cubic forms that plan together in a myriad of ways, Steps offer a wide range of planning options and are easily reconfigurable. A great solution to add extra seating to a meeting space or an easy way to create separation between two spaces.

Product story

Unscripted is anything but unplanned. It is the culmination of years of research—by Knoll and David Rockwell, independently and together—about the way work is truly done today.

Work increasingly takes places elsewhere. At a coffee shop or lunch counter, walking down the street, sitting on a park bench or perched on a bar stool and, overall, the urge to demarcate or defend individual territory is giving way to a desire for community. Whether alone or with colleagues, planned or the result of happenstance, people are often productive at unexpected moments and in unforeseen settings.

Blurring the boundary between work and play in the office doesn’t diminish the amount of work being done. Instead, it injects a new vitality, creating holistic, open-to-interpretation workplaces that can enhance ingenuity and productivity.

Unscripted takes the notion of planning for spontaneity from an inherent contradiction to a tangible reality: with fairly little effort, furniture can be adapted or reconfigured around you at any given moment and it can evolve over time.

David Rockwell

David Rockwell’s decades of experience in restaurant and hotel design is directly translatable to emerging trends in the workplace. At his firm Rockwell Group, the focus is on architecture and design that emphasizes innovation and thought leadership in environments including restaurants, hotels, cultural institutions, and theater. Above all, Rockwell knows how to make the people who inhabit his spaces feel comfortable and in control—the protagonists in dramas of their own making—and it’s this same sense of hospitality and empowerment that office workers, liberated from their desks by wireless technology, are seeking.
