The TOUCH collection consists of closed volumes, with drawers for storage located inside, simple tables and modular elements, which both create an open space, and give the private office quite a strict appearance.

Furthermore, the TOUCH has several new technological features built into its modular elements, intended to create an active relationship between the furniture elements and the surrounding space. For example, the base contains a digital control sensor system, programmed in such a way that the desk, via a wireless connection, is connected to the lighting, sound system and the ambient environment, giving full control over the workspace.

The collection consists of tables, bookcases, work areas, consoles, and panels.
