May 1, 2009—Steelcase Inc., a global office environments manufacturer, has unveiled a new access floor at the AIA 2009 National Convention and Design Exposition at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The nesso access floor offers increased aesthetic and performance features that allow this floor to go further, and do more, than traditional access floors, says the company.
The new floor provides a surface that feels solid, strong and safe, like walking on concrete, and also offers a range of premium finishes, including marble, granite, slate, ceramic, linoleum, rubber, wood and vinyl .
Designed in Italy, nesso, which means link in Italian, connects the infrastructure throughout the workplace, allowing easy access to power and data, so organizations can create better connected and harder working spaces. nesso was designed to complement the company’s collection of solutions for more open, connected workspaces; recent Steelcase product introductions also include c:scape and media:scape.
“Access flooring easily integrates technology and allows organizations to create a collaborative and connected work area, in addition to providing significant cost savings,” said Mike Lobbestael, general manager, Architectural Solutions Group for Steelcase. “Based on research indicating that the lack of premium finishes was preventing the use of access floors, Steelcase aimed to deliver a solution that combined the performance and visual appeal of other flooring options, with all the proven flexibility that raised access flooring provides.”
