aperture™ is a new office furniture solution designed to help people focus and collaborate better in an open office.
KEM STUDIO started designing aperture five years ago as a response to frustrations with the open office. The design team traveled from coast to coast - to companies large and small, progressive and conservative - to research and understand how people work better together and as individuals. Through that research, KEM STUDIO developed a simple product line that supports each individual user. Highlights of aperture are:
Open + Focused - aperture creates the balance of visual separation from distraction without losing a connection to the immediate environment. This makes it easy to focus at one moment and collaborate in another.
Organic + Intuitive - aperture is an individual-based solution that can be configured organically and intuitively – tailored to the interactions and circumstances of each person and team. It liberates workspace planning to think about work environments more like neighborhoods in a city – each with unique layouts and personalities.
The aperture product line was engineered and manufactured by MASHstudios is now available for sale. To find out more information or to purchase aperture, visit www.aperture.furniture.

How is the project unique?
aperture™ – a new office furniture solution designed to help people focus and collaborate better in an open office.
