Description
Offering a temporary retreat for quiet concentrated work, Alcove Plus Work comes with an integrated tablet desk, optionally available with power and data. Alcove Plus Work differs from Alcove Work due to its panels, which extend almost to the floor and also conceal the frame. Portable partition screens can be attached to the high side panels with zip fasteners. They can be used to increase privacy, establish traffic patterns within the office, create additional niches or form larger structures.
