ITOKI Launches the New "INSALATA" Workstation, Supporting Diverse Work Styles from Group Work to Individual Work A Diverse Range of Optional Items to Provide Optimal Work Styles
ITOKI CORPORATION (Head office: Joto-ku, Osaka; President: Tadashi Matsui; hereafter “ITOKI”) will start the sale of the bench-type “INSALATA” workstation in February 2014.
INSALATA is ITOKI’s third bench-type workstation series, following “INTERLINK” and “INSTATE LINK.”
With simple desk functions and a wide range of optional items suited to the various needs of individual customers, the INSALATA workstation series is a reasonably priced and highly versatile desk system, capable of serving multiple purposes from group work (which is a specific feature on the use of benches) to individual work in a comfortable and functional environment.
INSALATA means “salad” in Italian. The keyword for the desk design is “simple.” Using a desk resembling a plate, the new workstation series provides a wide range of optional items so that users can create individually suited work spaces, like arranging salad on a plate.
