The Simple Story Some room to spread out. Plenty of space to store your stuff. Just the right mix of privacy and collaboration. Does outfitting your office have to be complicated? Initiate doesn t think so. Order an Initiate worksurface and the cantilever supports are included. Order overheads and they ship preassembled. Order a panel and it comes complete no trim to specify or install. Panels even attach with a single universal connector that simplifies installation and reconfiguration. 4
D simple solutions Fabric panels may not be the best choice for intense uses like manufacturing, healthcare, and high-traffic areas. That s why Initiate also offers hard-surface laminate panels that clean easy and hang tough. simple connections Initiate uses one universal connector for all right-angle configurations L, T, or X so you can change your layout fast without ordering additional parts. simple construction Initiate panels have integral finished ends, so there are no trim pieces to specify, order, or install. simple segments Initiate lets you specify up to three segments in a single panel. Result: The aesthetic versatility of a frame-and-tile system without the expense, extra parts, or complexity. 5
6 A Smart Choice The longer you own Initiate, the better you understand what a smart choice it is. Metal frames and trim retain their integrity through years of reconfiguration. Metal-to-metal connections create a solid structure, keeping panels perfectly aligned. Components fit together tightly without gaps, and finishes match precisely from one piece to the next. Initiate also features a Class A fire rating and exceeds industry acoustical standards.
Thinking ahead Stuck in a corner? With Initiate, space planners can orient your people any which way. Face in, face out, face the side... whatever fits their style. Versatility makes sense The Initiate line includes desking components and storage units that can be used independently or combined with panels. E 7
Recycled surfaces Initiate worksurfaces are made from 100% post-industrial content particleboard and feature a low-emitting backer that doesn t impact office air quality. Low emissions Even the adhesives used to make Initiate are selected for their low emissions. What s more, interior parts are finished with excess paint captured from other processes. Reduced-impact fabrics Initiate panels are available in several reduced impact fabrics. One example, Asana, is an Eco Intelligent polyester that s Cradle to Cradle Certified CM GOLD by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry, LLC (MBDC). 8 F
