A Revolutionary Approach to Enhancing Communication and Innovation in Team Based Working.
This year at NeoCon 2024, Okamura introduced significant enhancements to its award-winning Lives + Post and Beam system, catering to the dynamic needs of modern workspaces. Emphasizing flexibility and customization, these updates are designed to transform any office environment, based on necessity.
The latest innovations include two types of steel walls. The first is a solid unit, featuring its swift and effortless installation—ideal for rapid office setups. The second type offers customizable options, accommodating the addition of shelves, integrated lighting, and monitor mounts for a tailored workspace solution. Both wall types are offered in an extensive range of 20 colors, 4 wood grain finishes, and a white marker board surface.
Additionally, a new glass wall option with a sliding door creates elegant, transparent conference rooms that maintain an open feel while clearly defining the space. The 2024 release also features new drapery options, available in materials ranging from sheer textiles for gentle separation to opaque and acoustic textiles for enhanced performance, balancing functionality with flexibility and privacy.
A welcoming counter option has also been added to the collection, transforming standard spaces into cozy café areas, perfect for hospitality and breaks.
Having debuted at NeoCon 2023 and earned the Best of NeoCon Innovation and Business Impact Awards, the Lives Post + Beam system is an innovative “room-in-room” solution that fosters enhanced team communication by creating dedicated spaces. The system starts from a span of 94-1/2” to 189” without a post and can extend further with a post if needed. Its innovative rail system allows for movable panels to dynamically utilize the space, flexibly reconfiguring based on usage and occupancy.
The new enhancements of Lives Post + Beam highlight Okamura’s ongoing commitment to innovation, supporting workplaces that prioritize flexibility, style, and efficiency.
The Lives Post + Beam enhancements will be available for order in Winter of 2024.
