Description

The A.base series is the foundation of the A.WORKS system, a modular partitioning solution engineered for workplaces that need structure today and flexibility tomorrow. Each base unit (product code AB.01) is a powder-coated steel frame available in matte black or matte white, designed to accept a wide range of skins and accessories on either side, so every unit can be configured to suit the task at hand.

Assembly requires no tools. Simple clip-in connections make it fast to put together, reconfigure, or move, and an integrated levelling system means uneven floors are never a problem. When you need to reposition a unit, lifting the floor plate re-engages the built-in roller castors, so the whole thing moves safely and easily.

The real versatility comes through the skin and accessory system. Whiteboard skins, utility skins, acoustic panels, shelving, and AV mounts all clip directly into the frame, giving you a genuinely adaptable wall element rather than a fixed partition. Used alongside the a.frame, a.corner, and the full A.ccessories range, the A.base becomes the backbone of a complete, cohesive workspace that can change as your team does.

Revit families and AR files (viewable on any Apple device at full scale) are available for download to help with planning and specification.

Materials Selection

• FSC or PEFC wood products, locally sourced where possible.
• Recycled and local metals where possible.
• Re-surface rather than recycle.
• Specify recycled or readily recyclable plastic throughout our designs.
• Uses materials that are tested and certified low or zero VOC. This includes E0 MDF and Red List Free Certified acoustic panels.
• Powder coating instead of wet spraying for our metals, and high build natural oil for our timber finishes.

Design for durability

• Highly durable materials are used throughout the product range for the longest possible life.
• Longer service life and a higher value at the end of life reduce likelihood of ending up as landfill
• Higher carbon materials such as Steel and Aluminum, may not be the lowest carbon option initially but A.WORKS believe this is offset by longer service life and recyclability. They are locally sourced where possible to reduce the carbon impact of the product.

Design for re-use
A.WORKS was started with a focus on re-usability. They take this approach to every level of their product range; from the re-usable Agile Wall system to their re-usable magnetic post-it notes and re-fillable whiteboard markers.

Design for recyclability
A.WORKS considered what will happen at the end of their products life when they created them. This means minimising the chance they end up in landfills through, re-sale, refurbishment, and partnerships with dedicated recyclers in NZ and Australia (Sims) so that components are sorted and recycled with as little waste as possible.
