The modern office has to meet new requirements. It's no longer the place where you sit and work at the same spot all day, but more and more somewhere to drop in, meet people and exchange information. Just log on, draft a short report, check your E-mails, have a meeting or a project lunch - tables acquire a new, wider function in this context. The Ahrend 500 Bench has been designed with these new needs in mind. It can be set up as a team worksite, but can be converted with little or no effort into a conference table or a meeting point.

Cradle to Cradle product.
