CUMBERLAND beautiful objects that work Thick & Thin A palette of heights, thicknesses, and materials for privacy and visual interest. Completely configurable American design and craftsmanship.
Every space can be a working space with Thick & Thin, designed by Charlie Kane of XLG. The system combines seating, surfaces, and walls with a versatility that allows a designer to tune privacy and interaction within a space without building architectural walls. At heart a sectional system, Thick & Thin can meet a broad range of needs. Without walls, its curved and straight seating modules create open seating for reception or waiting areas. With the added benefits of power and work surfaces, users can get work done while they re waiting.
Add thick transaction-height walls to encourage interaction. The top of the wall provides just enough surface to support a laptop or papers during a conversation. Tall walls make for visual privacy for groups or individuals working within them or for individuals nearby. The clean lines and set-back legs of Thick & Thin make each configuration a statement. Options for height, curved or straight lines, and thick and thin proportions fill a palette for appropriate yet consistent application throughout a building. 1
Seat backs at 29 inches divide space. A transaction height of 41 inches balances privacy and interaction; or 51-inch walls provide visual privacy. Curved and straight modules provide unlimited options for configurations for any space. At just one inch thick, thin walls divide space with clean, elegant lines. Freestanding tables complete arrangements and provide work and display space. Benches can be open on both sides. Laptop tables can be attached or freestanding. 2
Seven-inch-thick walls are usable work surface at transaction or arm height. At just one inch thick, thin walls divide space with clean, elegant lines. Long modules make even large installations look cohesive. Power can be provided through tabletops or under seats. 3
Thick & Thin is well equipped for settings like airports, where it provides comfort and amenities for travelers. The wide arms define personal space in an environment where boundaries are often lacking. The arms can be powered for laptops or recharging phones or other devices; their breadth means they offer some work surface, as well. 4
Ganging makes any configuration, of any length, stable. Set-back legs, material options, and the streamlined, straightforward design assure easy cleaning. 5
Thick & Thin is a shape-shifter that can provide reception seating in a variety of public settings. When more amenities are needed for guests, varied wall heights, angles for privacy and personal space, and surfaces for work can all be added to the equation. 6
Make it easy for a group to focus on their own discussion, even within a public space, by using Thick & Thin to define a collaborative space. Provide the amount of privacy needed with the mix of wall heights and degree of enclosure. Accommodate multiple groups or interactions within the same space at the same time with the artful arrangement of Thick & Thin components. With both curved and rectilinear pieces, configurations can be custom fit to any architectural space, creating appropriate access and traffic patterns. 7

Choose seating alone, or combine seating and tables; add thick or thin walls to divide space or create group areas.
Using the Thick & Thin Palette Thick & Thin sectional seating and tables can be configured to provide privacy and work support for groups or individuals, and to add architectural interest to large spaces. Backs and sides can act as walls. Thin walls are one inch thick; thick walls are seven inches thick and provide enough surface for a laptop, notes, or for leaning. All seating units are the same depth; each seating module sits on a one-inch wood platform for structural and visual coherence. Heights Among the choices for modulating privacy is the height of components in a configuration. Benches are 17 inches high; chair backs are 29 inches high; and walls can be 41 or 51 inches high. Materials Maple veneer is standard; laminate is also available. Option A Exotic Woods and other finish options may be specified at an additional charge. An optional half-inch Glacier White solid-surface top with eased edge and matte finish is available for thick walls or table surfaces. This top adds a half-inch to wall heights and is above upholstery on seating back components. Upholstered pieces are made of soy-based foam on webbed suspension. Upholstery may be leather or textile; see price list for yardage requirements and special instructions required. Metal legs and accessories are Polished or Satin Stainless Steel; Statuary Bronze is available at an additional charge. Cumberland finishes include a catalyzed lacquer. Configuration and ganging Backs are flat, so sections can be specified back-to-back. Walls of any height may be ganged together. For all-flush backs, gang thin with thin and thick with thick; when thick and thin are ganged together, the thick backs are offset six inches. Optional armrests can be attached to the end of any seating unit. Every Thick & Thin product is shipped with two ganging mechanisms for maximum flexibility in installation on site. Levelers must be adjusted to align adjacent walls before ganging mechanisms are engaged. Power and data Power and data access can be provided through tabletop, under-seat, or an arm option. Each has appropriate finish options and comes with a power cord; hardwiring is also an option. For current specifications, see the Thick & Thin price list. LEED and certifications Thick & Thin products have been independently certified to meet or exceed ANSI/BIFMA X7.1/LEED EQ4.5 standards; LEED points can be applied.
