The problem of never having a door where it is needed is no longer a problem, not with Floating Doors by SMED International. SMED has developed a locking mechanism that isn’t in the doorfame. It’s in the ceiling, so that latch connections are not exposed. Dual doors without center support, also new, do not need to be suspended from overhead construction. They are completely freestanding, floating in the air. And SMED offers this additional door story; A new mortise patch for the only aluminum door that allows any lock to be used in a narrow style door. This will eventually allow FMs to incorporate the top lock into the aluminum barn door and give them even more flexibility in making efficient space without losing esthetics.
While SMED has pioneered these highly innovative door concepts, the firm continues developing its office furniture. Latest is the ToDo chair, a beautiful, comfortable, mobile chair with rollaway foot and storage ottoman that is now wired and can hook up to internet, power, and phone wherever the user brings the chair. Switch is an infinitely flexible workstation that can support API Flat Screen computers and has The Stanchion (SMED calls it Stan for short) that offers strength and agility for any lighting or storage cabinet.
