WHAT'S NEW WITH TEKNION?

TEKNION WITHIN

Space within your space. Designed for a more adaptable and agile workplace, WithIn™ is a simple post-and-beam structure that defines an interior space. WithIn subdivides the open plan into different zones, creating areas in which people can work as a group or personal spaces that serve a more intensive focus. WithIn creates an independent framework for both permanent and transitional spaces, allowing companies to readily adjust to new work behaviors and patterns. See the gallery.

TEKNION TONE

Visually soft and minimalist, the Tone chair is designed to blend seamlessly with its setting. Its rounded frame invites touch and a pure silhouette balances simplicity with superior comfort.

Luum sleeves are tailor fitted to slip over the Tone backrest, utilizing the same chair to refresh a space with minimal additional investment. A curated collection of Luum textiles in a range of colors and patterns expands design options to create a more quiet, or spirited, setting.. Learn more.

TEKNION SMOOTH FELT HOODIE SCREEN

A hoodie is cozy, relaxing and provides a sense of enveloping comfort and acoustical privacy. It provides space division and local desktop privacy in varying levels. The extended roof top adds a more perceived acoustical privacy.

See the gallery.

TEKNION UNTETHERED

Untethered is a product portfolio of mobile worktools equipped with battery packs to power your phone and laptop through an entire day. Like the ebike which gives you the power to go further and carry more, Untethered can extend your reach, your day, and your office.

We’re thrilled that Untethered has won Metropolis Magazine's Metropolis Likes award for best in manufacturing strategies that represent the height of innovation and creativity. .Learn more.

TEKNION CASUAL POWER POST

The Casual Power Post is about bringing convenience charging to new locations of work that extend beyond one's’ traditional desk. As work mobility is increasingly prioritized, the Casual Power Post provides workstation expectation in non workstation settings. .Learn more.

STUDIO TK TRINE

Inspiration can come from anywhere, including an iconic three-legged milking stool. The Studio TK Trine Stool, designed by Estudi Manel Molina, was inspired by his experiences growing up on a farm and his artisanal background. He created an alluring stool that is as simple as it is complex. .Learn more.
