Merging five products in one, the Byne system is a configurable workstation that combines key elements of four of Herman Miller’s other workstations – Imagine, Optimis, Layout and Arras – together with a new wooden leg style, Sylvain.
“The Byne system is our response to the realities of the modern workplace, as well as the needs of organizations dealing with change. Through our research, Herman Miller realized the value of office furniture that can adapt in the face of changing rules, regulations, safety needs, as well as fluctuating project and team needs. There was also growing demand for customization from our clients,” a company spokesperson said.
The Byne system has a robust base framework, with universal beams supporting the undercarriage. Users can build on this base with one of five leg options, from the minimalist Optimis to the elegance of Sylvain. Users can also choose their work surface, combining Layout’s legs with the Arras worktop, or mixing the Optimis leg with Layout’s work surface.
The system can be configured in multiple ways to support different workplace activities, from solo work through to interactive settings designed to foster collaboration and creativity. Byne also includes a toolbar that is raised above the worksurface, keeping desk surfaces clean, while supporting screens, accessories, smart phones and more.
