Office Cubicle Systems; In 1968, Robert Propst broke ground in office furniture design, with his path breaking office cubicle. It was a revolutionary invention, ahead of his time. The idea of office systems furniture or the office cubicle was a completely movable office where desks and counters could easily adjust to fit the user's body and movements. A height adjustable workstation allows you to reach the documents and your keyboard while seated or full standing.

The intention was to layer storage (full wall storage shelves) and to leverage the vertical space. Office cubicle systems were meant to be comfortable, functional, and efficient. It's all about space planning and utilization, efficiency, and human comfort. The office cubicle, much demonized, was intended to be human-centered, contributing to better performance and productivity at work place. It was designed to motivate, stimulate and inspire. The cubicle was created to be a highly engaging place.

MAiSPACE system revolutionized the contract furniture industry by incorporating standards compliant plug-and-play cable management systems in its superior quality, ...
... affordably priced, stackable panel systems. Maispace remains true to the Propst's original design and offers interchangeable and adjustable components. Office cubicles were designed with simplicity in mind. Based on this philosophy, MAiSPACE takes innovation and interior office design to the next level. Patented, knocked down and ready-to-assemble frames equipped with self aligning connectors simplify moving elements into and throughout the building reducing installation costs. It can also reduce the number of framing components required. The workstation can be easily taken apart and then re-assembled.

At Maispace, we also know that, in the office cubicle systems, floor plan is everything. We introduce a floor plan design that allows more interaction between the user and the workspace. We adopt a human centered approach to interior office design, whether it's 2 or 2000 workstations each customer receives our undivided attention. We create functional workstations that perfectly meet the needs of individuals and businesses at the same time. You can also reconfigure an office floor plan in hours without disrupting the entire local area network.

Maispace offers a sophisticated cable management. Frames provide unobstructed cable pathways top to bottom. Cable runs are laid in behind lift-off panel segments, not bundled and fished through structural elements. Off-modular design allows flexibility in workspace size, configuration and in locating bins, shelves, and divider panels. Maispace seeks maximum flexibility in the work place. Maispace office system is an evolution of panel-based products. It includes segmented, stackable and floor-to-ceiling panels, and off-modular panels and components in a wide range of sizes. It gives you unlimited possibilities to transform your work place according to your needs. It combines visibility and privacy, two characteristics of the workspace that we value.

Maispace has always been the champion of high quality construction. Stability, strength and safety are the key components of the office cubicle systems. Load bearing tubular steel frames and heavy gauge steel components and supports (load rated to 2.5 tons, the highest in the industry) allow us to offer a lifetime warranty. Exceptional design and elegant style creates a unique look in today's office. Maispace offers interchangeable tiles that you can choose from a variety of tile segment options that include paint, steel, fabric, and glass (clear glass, textured glass, frosted glass to name a few) and worksurface options including PVC curvilinear tops with a seamless edge.

Maispace also introduces a revolutionary network cabling technology. Patented zone distribution system includes plug-and-play connectors, lay-in cabling and the largest capacity in the industry (up to 500 CAT 5 cables). Maispace and Morspace, two product lines, are based on the size, reach, movements of people. User-friendly components, such as cascade edge worksurfaces and adjustable height, sit/stand keyboard platforms for computer intensive environments provide plenty of usable and breathable space and help manage information.

Maispace offers a reconfigurable office application at a great value. Our principles are quality, simplicity, elegance, and function. Maispace supports its office cubicle systems-Maispace and Morspace-with lifetime warranty, for as long as you own the product. At Maispcae we combine latest technology with comfort to accommodate the evolving needs of you business and make your workplace a thriving and inspiring place.
