Knoll

The Currents product line is Knoll's next generation of office furniture. It recognizes that organizations rely increasingly on computers and other technologies, but they need to change and reconfigure their work environment more rapidly then ever before. Currents is designed to address these needs.

Currents service walls connect to form spines that define the center of a cluster of workstations. They provide ready access at any point to power, data, and communications. Service walls also integrate easily with Knoll Morrison, Equity, and Reff systems. Vertical panels and furniture may be attached to the Currents service walls anywhere along their length.

Service walls are composed of studwall-like structural frames and removable covers or tiles. Covers attach to the studs at any 12-inch increment. The covers may be painted, upholstered or tackable upholstered, slatwall, or cable tray.

Given all these options, keeping track of the covers and their placement is a major task. Elevation Template solves this problem by placing and tracking the covers for any configuration you create.

Use the Automation palette to access commands for placing Currents service walls.

The Elevation Template tool is located within the Automation Center.

As part of the Elevation template tool Knoll has created two new catalogs: KE1: Knoll AutoStrada (Elevation Only) and KE2: Knoll Currents (Elevation Only). These catalogs are designed specifically for use with the Elevation Template and are named appropriately.

While these catalogs are visible in Explorer they should never be used to place products from there. These special catalogs contain only the parts that can be placed on an elevation template.  KE1 is a subset of the KAS catalog and contains all the parts that have elevation symbols that can be placed into an elevation template.  KE2 has the same relationship with the KCU catalog.  These catalogs were created so that users would not have to search through their parent catalog for parts that could be placed by the ET tool.
