OFS tables, casegoods, and collaborative settings
Start with what stays fixed and what needs to move. Then plan power, shared storage, team boundaries, circulation, and future changes before comparing OFS options.
Product planning
Planning tables, casegoods, and collaborative settings with OFS.
Kaleid provides an official reference for combining work surfaces, storage, screens, movable dividers, and collaborative tables within a connected workplace framework. Buyers should identify which elements stay fixed and which need to move as teams shift between individual work, quick conversation, and shared projects. Review power distribution, table mobility, storage ownership, divider sightlines, acoustic expectations, and the paths used during reconfiguration. Pettus planning guidance can test these relationships against the floor plan and change scenarios; current OFS documentation should confirm components, connections, and finish options.
OFS describes Kaleid as an adaptable workstation system whose components are intended to combine and reconfigure as work changes. The page lists a power structure, work surfaces, mobile dividers, mobile collaboration tables, storage, screens, and accessories.
Buyer planning guide
What to evaluate before specification.
Use the room, user needs, and project constraints to narrow the right application before comparing product options, finishes, and project requirements.
Planning factor 1
Fixed versus mobile
Classify power, primary work surfaces, storage, dividers, and collaborative tables by how often each truly needs to move or reconfigure.
Planning factor 2
Power framework
Map source locations, device loads, cable routes, access points, and change scenarios before arranging tables or storage around the power structure.
Planning factor 3
Shared storage rules
Define ownership, access, security, replenishment, and the materials stored so casegoods support teams without creating clutter or conflicts.
Planning factor 4
Collaboration boundaries
Use divider height, orientation, table location, sightlines, and circulation to distinguish teamwork zones without isolating users unintentionally.

Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers ask about tables, casegoods, and collaborative settings.
What should remain fixed in an adaptable workplace?
Keep infrastructure and frequently used anchors stable when movement adds little value; reserve mobility for elements tied to real change scenarios.
How should mobile tables and dividers be evaluated?
Review who moves them, frequency, clear paths, floor conditions, storage positions, stability, and their effect on power and sightlines.
Can the pictured Kaleid arrangement define a final plan?
No. It demonstrates one setting; the project plan should be based on users, work modes, infrastructure, room geometry, and current specifications.
