Steelcase introduces the Eastside Beam,
versatile and functional
In the Year of Smart Space, Steelcase, global
leaders in the office furniture industry,
underlined the importance of functionality in
furniture design as it launched the newest
edition to their simple and versatile Eastside
seating range, the Eastside Beam.
Kim Williams, Product Marketing Manager for Steelcase
UK said: “Eastside Beam is an ideal example of a
functional yet stylish seating product. With removable arm
rests and soft furnishing the Eastside Beam is ideal for
reception and waiting areas. It has been developed with
versatility and comfort in mind, with the option of adding
between two to four seats and the addition of a
tabletop.”
Kim continued: “Efficient office products are essential to
business which is why we are providing customers and
dealers with products that are versatile, functional and
maximise space but also retain the quality, good looks
and high performance that Steelcase is renowned for”.
In line with Steelcase’s longstanding commitment to
sustainable design and the environment, the Eastside
Beam has been made with limited components and a
reduced number of low energy materials.
