Ethospace--a frame-and-tile system
In the Ethospace frame-and-tile system, structural steel frames define the work space, provide the foundation for hang-on components, and house electrical and data wires. Individual segments called tiles attach to the frames, allowing tremendous variety and control of the design and function of individual frames.

Economic Benefit
New components integrate with existing. Preserves the original investment; Ethospace evolves without becoming obsolete.

Cross-functional. Components support multiple tasks and can be reused when needs change.

Speedy installation and reconfiguration. Draw rod connectors reduce installation time; tiles, screens, and other components can be selectively replaced or rearranged with minimal disruption.

Technology Support
Lay-in cabling. Lowers cost of installation and changes; no cable threading.

Zone distribution. Reduces time and costs when installing and reconfiguring data networks.

Huge capacity. The open interior holds up to 60 Category 5, 4-pair UTP cables in the base and an additional 10 cables at every 8-inches of frame height.

Flexible power. The 8-wire, 4-circuit electrical system allows circuit configurations of 3 general and 1 dedicated, 2 general and 2 dedicated, or 1 general and 3 dedicated.

High Performance
Multifunctional. Components equip individuals and teams for productive work and respond nimbly to change.

More support for collaboration. New Ethospace choices help people work together and communicate.

Off-module capability. Return walls, components, and work surfaces can attach at any point horizontally along either side of a spine wall, simplifying change and reducing the cost of churn.

Options for Expression
Range of image and atmosphere. Ethospace has always had a strong, architectural look; now it can also look open, light, and transparent.

Expanded vocabulary. New shapes and sizes, new curves and colors, new tiles--along with all the selections that have established Ethospace as a leading design.

Space Planning
Application freedom. Designers can create a great variety of work spaces, from open and collaborative to traditional and enclosed.

120-degree capability. The open angle allows more layout flexibility, more efficient use of floor space, and more openness for collaborative environments.
