PANEL RACK The Panel Rack is a modular, flexible shelving system designed for spatial structuring and zoning in open office environments. Its distinctive mix of open and closed modules creates dynamic sightlines and brings a sense of movement to the space. It can be used as a freestanding unit with dual-sided access or positioned against a wall. The modular construction, featuring vertical supports,

makes the shelving system unique and fully customisable. Thanks to predefined modules, a wide range of functions can be combined – from space division, open storage, and wardrobes to lockers, planter boxes, and printer stations. Additionally, tea kitchens, pinboards, whiteboards, and digital presentation surfaces can be seamlessly integrated into the Panel Rack.

Design: Christian Horner

INSPIRING OFFICES. SINCE 1790.

PANEL RACK PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ASSEMBLY AND PLANNING LOGIC Each Panel Rack consists of at least three elements – a starting element, a middle element and an end panel. The selected depth of a module defines the depth of the entire Panel Rack – meaning that every module has the same depth and there are no variations in depth.
