Watson + The Agile Office
Change is the one constant in business. Personal workstyles and corporate
directions are evolving faster than the infrastructure that supports them.
This makes creative, agile furniture solutions a necessity. Vibrant office
environments are inspired by advanced European design and fused to
Watson’s progressive environmental practices. The result - a powerful
case for organizations seeking to attract and retain the best and brightest.
Freestanding components deliver reconfigurable flexibility and ease of
specification. Innovative, height-adjustable solutions deliver more than
ergonomics to a diverse workforce; they increase productivity and drive the
proven health benefit of postural change. From private offices to the open plan
and meeting rooms to collaborative spaces, Watson’s user driven designs,
unique palette and impeccable craftsmanship elevate the workplace.

Personal Domains & Shared Meeting Spaces
MIRO fulfills a broad range of aesthetic and functional needs designed
to resonate with a new generation of leaders. An innovative class of
freestanding private office components, MIRO flows naturally past the
walls of private offices to adjacent support areas, casual lounge spaces
and collaborative meeting areas. Refined stand-alone storage elements
with steel veneer surfaces and iconic table designs fit comfortably in a
broad range of settings, articulating a fresh vision for modern professional
work environments. MIRO supports changing workstyles with insightful
and reinterpreted configurations that extend capabilities and encourage
efficiency, productivity, comfort, and imagination.
04

Design is in the Details
Horizontal lines, a rich finish palette, steel
veneer, and select hardware create MIRO’s
design sensibility.
MIRO is sophisticated and balanced. The
worksurface floats above a geometric base
formed by MIRO’s iconic Viga leg, a triangular
steel tube mitered at the corners.
Surfaces may also be supported at one or
both ends by MIRO storage components
to form traditional or perpendicular configurations.
Steel veneers wrap the modular
storage pieces creating a pinstripe around
each component.
08

Steel Craftsmanship
Watson’s fluency in blending materials and
expertise in steel fabrication create intricate
design details and support structures with
superior strength and durability. Unique to the
MIRO family, wood cabinets are seamlessly
finished with powdercoated steel veneer.
Advanced cutting and bending technology
create handcrafted components including
Seiri trays and bins, and the unique Viga leg.
10

MIRO + ZO
Together MIRO and ZO create a polished
space for the modern private office. A costeffective
alternative to MIRO storage, ZO’s
design details complement MIRO’s signature
leg profile and select surface shapes. With a
collection of compatible, freestyle components
and finishes, MIRO and ZO create productive
solutions for the minimalist and the traditionalist.
ZO is a comprehensive line of agile storage
that efficiently organizes people, spaces, and
tasks. For all Watson storage applications,
ZO may be paired with any desk to create
freestanding and agile workspaces. Low
residential silhouettes support sitting, perching
and impromptu collaboration - ideal for both
the private office and open plan. ZO’s
ability to nest under, dock with, or support
any Watson surface makes ZO a flexible value.
14

Collaborative Intelligence
MIRO Conference is designed to keep
teams plugged-in for purposeful workplace
collaboration. Traditional conference
height tables, standing height tables,
hospitality height consoles and occasional
tables support a broad range of meeting
applications from formal to informal.
Productive teamwork often results from
impromptu hallway exchanges, casual
lounge room chatter, interdepartmental
brainstorming sessions, and project room
all-nighters. Our collaborative culture
demands environments for shared work
in open and enclosed spaces strategically
located throughout the workplace.
MIRO Conference offers a modern, sustainable,
and tech-ready line of tables and storage
components for today’s workstyles.
17

Purposeful Collaboration
Build meeting spaces with a variety of MIRO tables
and MIRO or ZO storage to create a refined and
relaxed vibe. Reception areas, waiting areas,
project spaces and team spaces benefit from
tech-ready MIRO tables.

The Efficient Open-Plan
For open-plan applications, M2’s space-efficient shapes and storagesupported
surfaces allow workstations to expand and contract as
facility needs change. Designed to reflect the silhouette of MIRO, M2 is
an ideal counterpart to the MIRO private office. M2 optimizes space in
condensed footprints with 7 o rectilinear shapes that shift the user away
from the corner. Steel Viga tubular legs, an underdesk pedestal, or
brackets mounted to the side of a storage tower may be used to support
a worksurface. The ability to efficiently plan storage intensive spaces and
configurations as small as 5 feet by 5 feet supports a variety of functional
options at a cost effective price-point. The Jot Board and Tak Screen
provide space division and promote task efficiency. Small, freestanding,
collaborative round and square tables are welcome additions to private
office or open plan M2 spaces.
20

Privacy Without Isolation
Inside or outside the cubicle, M2 with ZO
storage-supported components offer smart
solutions for compact workspaces. Height
and depth logic are compatible with existing
panel systems. Choose a ZO Denza and
FRAMES glazed panel to create spaces that
offer privacy without isolation.
M2 surfaces are supported by ZO storage
with a bracket or riser that allows the surface
to float above the credenza.
An array of agile accessories including the Jot
Board, Tak Screen, and Wave Light increase
user comfort and productivity. Each piece is
compatible with the full array of Watson desks.
25

The Non-Handed & Height-Adjustable Workplace
For open-plan or private office applications, SEVEN is the most
comprehensive non-handed and height-adjustable desking solution on
the market. SEVEN includes fixed, pin, two sit-to-sit height options
and a full BIFMA sit-to-stand range. Together, SEVEN and ZO create
a compelling solution for the reconfigurable open-plan. SEVEN’s
patent-pending Surface Interlock Assembly allows contoured shapes to
be flipped from right to left. Many of ZO’s components, including open
ZO Denzas with slider faces, symmetrical ZO Denzas and easy-toreposition
ZO Staks preserve SEVEN’s non-handed aptitude.
28

Design Innovation
Users prefer contoured worksurfaces for the
generous shape that contributes to personal
comfort and reach, but desk shapes create
handed inventories of furniture making facility
change management more arduous. SEVEN
solves this dilemma with worksurfaces that
are seamlessly finished on both sides; simply
flip the surface and the left-hand becomes
the right and vice-versa. SEVEN tables can be
installed in minutes with one single tool - a
standard 5/32 allen wrench.
The patent-pending Surface Interlock Assembly
provides a rigid mechanical connection
between the worksurface and the steel base.
Privacy panels for SEVEN may be specified
from Watson’s clamp-friendly and nonmarring
Jot and Tak line.
SEVEN’s design language is quiet and
refined, a perfect partner for panel systems
and open-plan applications. With the lowest
foot profile in the industry, the floor glide
adjustment is neatly notched and accessible
from the outside to ease strain on installers.
30

Adjustable and
Adaptable
SEVEN height-adjustable desks are available with
fixed, pin, manual crank and electric variations.
Beneath the surface, the stretcher rail incorporates
simple wire management using Velcro ties. A
magnetic steel channel may also be specified to
run wires down the leg. Specific ZO Peds and ZO
Low Denzas are designed to dock under SEVEN,
even in its lowest position.

Efficient Teamspace
SEVEN Electric paired with ZO’s Team Denza
create a dynamic duo for super efficient and
compact teamspaces. The 24” deep ZO
Team Denza incorporates dual-sided storage
with a box/lateral file and tilting tool bin. Add
a non-handed stacking unit and each user
has 60”-72” of linear binder storage.
The full height BIFMA range of SEVEN
Electric is user controlled by a flush-mounted
switch that may be flipped easily when the
worksurface is reversed.

shapes dock to provide liberal space planning
options and spark creativity.

Freestanding and Agile Storage
A credenza based alternative to traditional storage systems, ZO’s value
lies in its simple design, freestanding structure, adaptable nature and
expansive statement of line. ZO components provide functional and
efficient storage solutions. Available in a variety of sizes and space-saving
designs, choose from over 200 ZO credenzas, stackers, wardrobes,
lateral files, bookcases, peds and overheads. Specific ZO storage
components may be selected for height compatibility with any Watson
desk and to meet typical panel system logic, but ZO can also be used in
freestyle ways to modulate views above and within the panel landscape.
Cable-ready storage, A/V options, door/drawer configurations and infinite
capacity make ZO the ideal workhorse for the agile office.
48

Understanding ZO
ZO is designed with flexibility and choice in mind.
Pick the height, size and desired function of the
Denza, then select ZO Base and ZO Stak options
to suit. Any Stak can mount to any Denza using
a tool-less bracket. The bracket retains the alignment
of the storage units, but enables the Stak to
slide easily across the Denza without marring the
surface. Other accessories, like whiteboard or
tackboard privacy screens, also easily mount to
the Denza.
Tread Lightly
ZO’s Tread Lightly drawer system is the
environmentally wise drawer box, featuring
drawer bottoms made from locally sourced,
formaldehyde-free medium density fiberboard
and finished with reclaimed powder. The steel
frame side walls are made from 80% recycled
steel and are, in turn, 100% recyclable.
ZO bases are available in three options: steel, wood blade or no-base.
50

ZO Stak
Open, open-through and closed storage options are available.
Stacking units are held with two brackets that track in the
rear slot of the credenza. Felt pads beneath each Stak allow
for repositioning by sliding. The brackets may be mounted in
two positions to accommodate an optional whiteboard on the
rear face of the unit.
Tak Screen / Jot Board
ZO Denza
Three heights: low, mid and high with varied
open, door and drawer configurations.
ZO Base
ZO Pad: 100% PET ZO Dot: Teknit over foam in 4 colors ZO Dash: Fits peds and single position seating
on credenza. Uses any Watson textile.
51

ZO Wiring
ZO Denza units are built with grommets and
pass-throughs to accommodate daily plug
and go devices such as cell phone charging
stations, iPhones, iPads, power mats, and
even a pencil sharpener (if you still use one).
Cable Ready
All ZO Denza storage ships ‘cable ready,’
allowing the user to direct wires through
the cabinet and manage them seamlessly.
Please note that when selecting a ZO
Denza with no base, access to cables from
the bottom of the unit is reduced.
52

Frames
Watson’s FRAMES Panel System is ideal for
dividing team spaces and providing power,
voice, and data to open-plan workstations.
FRAMES panel size logic includes segmented
panels that meet the desk at belt-line,
cohesively framing space for collaborative
communication, seated or standing privacy.
Available in 3 heights and 6 widths, FRAMES
may be specified as monolithic panels with
laminate or fabric, or as segmented panels
with a combination of laminate, fabric, and/
or glass. A power, voice, and data raceway
provides four power connections per panel
for streamlined power access and cable
management.
