    Antenna® Power Beam

    Antenna Power Beam expands on the center beam at the heart of the original Antenna Workspaces Big Table. By decoupling worksurfaces from the power structure, Power Beam enables flexibility and agility, providing maximum performance in a minimal footprint.


    The freestanding, linkable or mobile Power Beam gives planning flexibility and range to address the ready-to-change mentality of today’s workplace. Continuous channels in the top and sides of the beam enable off-module freedom to position screens and task lights, or to support worksurfaces.

    Broad Planning Capabilities

    Power Beam has a broad scope and a simple yet clever structure that is easy to install, expand and reconfigure.

    Space Planning Efficiency

    Power Beam provides streamlined access to power, minimizing the space associated with technology spines and allowing for more creativity and personalization around them.

    Aesthetic and Functional Variety

    Unique Power Beam support options can be set at different heights for a variety of horizons.

    Antenna Design was founded in 1997 by Masamichi Udagawa, a Cranbrook Academy graduate, and Sigi Moeslinger, who holds degrees from NYU and Art Center College of Design. Antenna's people-centered design approach aims to make the experience of objects and environments more meaningful and exciting. Among Antenna’s best known projects are the design of New York City Subway cars and ticket vending machines, JetBlue check-in kiosks and displays for Bloomberg.

    When Knoll set out to create a new open plan office system, Antenna’s experience with the ever-expanding presence of technology, and their expertise in user experience made them an attractive collaborative partner. Together Knoll and Antenna conceived Antenna Workspaces, an innovative open plan system, which reflects Udagawa and Moeslinger’s interest in functional simplicity and their expertise in using design as a tool of social interaction that bridges people and technology.

    Antenna has been recognized with several prestigious design awards, including the National Design Award in Product Design from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Both Udagawa and Moeslinger are senior critics in graphic design at the Yale University School of Art.
