    Horsepower®

    A stable structure for dynamic spaces.

    Horsepower by Antenna Design is a visually light technology channel, spirited in form and steady on its feet. The independent, cord-set module serves as an on-demand, mobile power source suited to a range of Activity Spaces. Video display, whiteboard and open storage options equip flexible, shared work areas.


    Linked Horsepower modules can also furnish dynamic open plan environments with hardwired multi-circuit power, cable management, suspended storage, desk supports, modesty panels and privacy screens. Optional seat cushions create an impromptu power bench in community spaces to sit and recharge.

    Key Benefits

    COMPACT TECHNOLOGY CHANNEL. Horsepower features an elevated, freestanding beam structure with integrated power and data distribution for open-plan workspaces.

     

    FLEXIBLE TOOL FOR DYNAMIC SPACES. Horsepower brings power on demand to any space –scaling to provide portable technology solutions for a range of Activity Spaces and primary spaces.

     

    PLANNING FLEXIBILITY. Horsepower reflects the performance standard and straightforward design of Antenna Workspaces, providing an intelligent structure that allows for endless planning flexibility.

    Mobile

    Mobile Horsepower enables users to connect, access and display technology to support the task at hand. Horsepower mobile carts can be specified with integrated power strips, monitor support, storage and worksurfaces.

    Perch

    Horsepower perch invites people to connect — to each other and their devices, offering a comfortable seat for casual exchanges and convenient access to power and USB outlets.

    Sawhorse Desk

    Compact Mobile Horsepower units can be fitted to support the Antenna Workspaces rail system, creating flexible desks and tables with discreet power access.

    Beam

    Horsepower features a light, open service beam for primary workspaces, distributes power and data, and supports desks, suspended storage, glass laminate or fabric screens. The Beam is an ideal technology channel to pair with height-adjustable surfaces for ultimate planning flexibility.

    Antenna desks can attach along the length of the beam at any point, while integrated storage, screens, shelves and lighting shape an individual or group space. The lightweight structure of Horsepower allows for quick and easy reconfiguration without disassembling the spine or adjacent freestanding workstations.

    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.
