Advanced product ranges revealed at Office Expo

The products are the creative output of Bafco's Head Designer Jamal Kabbani. An alumni of Beirut's Fine Arts College, Jamal has led the Bafco design team since 2001 and applies his artistic background to furniture design.

Jamal believes that furniture design should go beyond aesthetic appeal, it should also satisfy functionality.

"Every element of the design such as color and shape must suit its end use, the furniture market," he said.

"In our quest to provide optimal solutions to our customers, we have researched the furniture market worldwide from The US and Europe to the Far East in order to develop our furniture designs"

The new operative offerings from Bafco, Plan-it and Flow are modular solutions that cater to any workspace from small to large organizations. Both the systems are easy to configure and reconfigure to best suit the needs of the user.

These systems also offer advanced cable management capabilities and superior acoustics control to make the workspace more efficiently.

Flow is an aluminum-based operative system with a sleek, yet strong worktop that suits heavy loads and accommodates a wide variety of storage options.

"The curvilinear design of this system means that the system really does flow" says Jamal.

"One of the extras that we are offering with this system is the 'eyebrow' which is literally an eyebrow-shaped rubber device that protects the table top from being damaged by the chair. This unique feature also has aesthetic appeal"

Plan-it, the second range offered by Bafco provides ease of reconfiguration through the use of sophisticated clip tile panels.
