About This Product: Consisting of the Harbor Stone™ Desk and the Power Beam Distribution System, the Harbor Stone™ System is a simple alternative to benching that introduces more humanity to the workplace. It is organic, free of sharp corners, and liberating from the traditional orthogonal space planning of benching. This system is the first of its kind and a revolutionary solution to workspace planning.
The Harbor Stone™ Desk is a sensuous curved work surface that embraces the user. All work tools are within reach, the desk is height-adjustable with a radius privacy screen that has a soft felt interior to aid acoustics and a smooth radius exterior to reduce visual noise. The screen provides the right amount privacy for individual or group work.
The Power Beam Distribution System is a straightforward management of power and data, which makes the Harbor Stone™ System stand out from other workplace systems by providing the infrastructure to space plan organically. Power and data are brought from the floor into a hub and then distributed along the Power Beam System. The beams span from hub to hub carrying the modular power and data cables. Hubs are designed to allow the beams to be placed at multiple angle connections, allowing for non-orthogonal space planning. The desks are tethered to the beams with a soft felt sleeve which delivers the power and data cables into a cable tray under the desk. The tray has ample room for a variety of J-boxes. Any extra cables are neatly tucked into the tray. A continuous slot between the privacy screen and desktop allows for cables to drop down at any point along the desktop without tension to the wire management below. The Power Beam is engineered to enable designers to space plan organically, eliminate dangling wires, and install quickly with a limited number of parts. The Power Beam System is currently being patented.
The flexibility of the Power Beam Distribution System with the Harbor Stone™ Desk allows for unlimited configurations of cluster sizes and shapes. It easily adapts to irregularly shaped floor plans making it more efficient than traditional benching. The most revolutionary advantage is that each Harbor Stone™ can be individually placed and easily adjusted for the right proximity and eye contact with neighbors, thus allowing for individual users to easily personalize and optimize their workspace.
