Storage Filing your way.
Flexibility.
“Despite the many documents that go missing on a daily basis, nothing in the universe ever completely disappears. This is of small comfort to most people, and the effects would be far reaching if files, folders and other information carriers could be stored safely, in the knowledge that they were easily available at short notice. Ahrend can provide you with flexible storage systems that can be adapted to every work space and every situation. Cabinets, trolleys and drawer pedestals can function on a collective basis as well as with individual use. Our storage systems can be used for long term archiving or for work requiring frequent access. In conjunction with you, Ahrend will put your affairs in order.� Wijtse Rodenburg, designer
The office memory. No matter how advanced digital storage systems might be, cupboard space is always needed. Their contents combine to effectually form the memory of the office. Ahrend drawer pedestals, sliding door cabinets, hinged door cabinets and tambour door cabinets fit in with any configuration you can think of; the art involved in the design of Ahrend storage equates to easy retrieval: a memory that never lets you down.
Cupboard space is always needed.
Sliding door cabinets
Tambour door cabinets
The space-saving sliding door cabinets have a modular structure. Base and top cabinets in 80, 100, 120 and 160 cm wide versions form the components that make up any configuration you could wish for. Also available with acoustic enhancements, guaranteeing a quiet office environment.
The most widely used method of storage. Available in many dimensions and with multifunctional options offered by a myriad of storage accessories: from shelves to pull-out frames. A particularly fine feature is the optional transparent, metal and perforated acoustic vertical slats.
Communal storage. Our range of sliding door cabinets incorporate two overlapping doors on smooth runners, fitted with the interchangeable Ahrend cylinder lock system.
Ahrend sliding door cabinets are stackable, allowing your storage space to grow with your business.
Choice of various colours and tops.
Ahrend quality is not only visible, it can also be felt, exemplified by the highly stable and safe drawer guides.
The tambour door can also be an eyecatcher in an otherwise plain office environment, thanks to its different colours in semi-transparent or opaque plastic or steel, with or without perforation.
Made for intensive use with an eye for detail. When open, the tambour doors disappear completely into the cabinet.
The average support carries loads of 15 kilos. No problem at all for the metal shelves with their flexibility of positioning (max. load of 39 to 53 kg).
Wall unit becomes partition.
The cabinets’ main attribute is flexibility; they can easily transform from a wall unit to a partition, adding a degree of privacy for the user. The Ahrend cabinets are a stylish element in flexible furnishing: when you change the configuration, the available surface area is always used to the full and neatly arranged. The design, colours and materials give the Ahrend cabinets more body and are aesthetically pleasing. Not only that, acoustic versions make for a quiet working environment; as do cabinets with an upholstered back panel.
Filing cabinets Ideally suited for storing A4, folio and foolscap suspension files. The cabinets can be locked to ensure that your confidential information is stored safely. Just as all the other Ahrend cabinets, the dimensions, colours and tops of our filing cabinets match all the other Ahrend furniture perfectly.
Hinged door cabinets Being environmentally aware, Ahrend has deliberately chosen to use steel: solid, recyclable and sustainable. This also applies to our hinged door cabinets with their ‘hidden’ hinges. Stylish, strong and indestructible cabinets (100 cm wide and 45 cm deep in heights of 140 and 195 cm) that fit in with whatever configuration you choose.
Flexibility in practice. Drawer pedestal with hinged doors for demanding users.
Safe and accessible at the same time. When the sliding lid is open, stored documents are permanently accessible.
Secured in no time. The cabinets have locks that lock all the drawers and a foldaway key that helps to minimise the risk of injuries.
Handles are stylishly hidden away in the upper edge of the drawer and are therefore never in the way.
Storage can be simultaneously practical and attractive; attention to detail is demonstrated by the ‘hidden’ hinges in the hinged door cabinets.
Logical and ergonomic, a handle you cannot see but which is there nonetheless, along the entire height of the door.
Flex-work
Flex-workers get the freedom of movement they need to be able to function effectively. Their personal archive is close at hand in a trolley or mobile drawer pedestal at every work or meeting space. The push bars of the trolleys can also be used as clothes hangers, and the optionally available cushions turn the trolleys into mobile seats; details that are characteristic of Ahrend’s innovative designs.
Freedom to move, enabling optimum operation.
Personal storage.
To prevent the cabinet tipping over when the drawer is opened, the pedestals have counterweights and a drawer lock. The drawer lock prevents more than one drawer from being opened at once.
Drawer pedestals
Pedestals in 3 sizes
Ahrend’s trolleys, stationary desk-high drawer pedestals and mobile drawer pedestals for personal storage make the office mobile. Mobility is linked to made-to-measure furniture: always the right version, always the right drawer layout (various size configurations are used; A4, A6, A7 and a stationery drawer), always the right amount of filing and storage space. Work processes are speeded up and full use is made of precious square metres in the office.
Since digital information is increasingly common, space for personal storage can be reduced to what is strictly necessary. Ahrend’s wide and narrow drawer pedestals (42.5 cm and 31.5 cm wide) and extra narrow lateral pedestals (21.5 cm wide) provide space-saving made-to measure furniture.
The Four_Two mobile drawer pedestal which is available from stock has a standard RAL 9006 paint colour and a stabilising castor under the A4 drawer to prevent it from tipping over. Finished with a steel top and steel fronts. Dimensions: 31x54x56cm. The telescopic drawers are fitted with a stationery drawer, A4 and A6 drawers.
The stationery drawers have a single drawer guide and plastic sections for arranging writing materials and small items of office equipment.
What is personal should stay personal. One lock for all drawers.
Enabling to you find everything easily. For example by using these extra narrow lateral pedestals whose interiors adjust to their users’ requirements.
The personal touch
The fashion for minimalist prints alone is over. Ahrend tops are also available in adventurous prints.
Mobility in optima forma. The non-slip studs in the Ciranol top keep everything in its place even when moving this mobile drawer pedestal around.
Flex-work requires mobile storage. Large castors and the retractable pull/push handle mean that drawer pedestals are easy to reposition.
The cabinets can be adapted to meet your personal requirements, with pull-out frames that have two U-channels for 3 rows of suspension files, pull-out drawers, shelves, hanging shelves and sections..
Ahrend cabinets are available in different colours and, optionally, with a special printed design. For a creative and lively work environment.
Pull up a chair? These trolleys are made for this. Easy to move around and with an optional, comfortable, textile cushion.
Handy and close to hand. The drawers can be arranged by means of drawer dividers to suit each user’s needs.
The tops of the low cabinets can also be used as worktops. That is why their size is left entirely up to you.
The drawers have plastic (42.5 cm wide) or steel drawer fronts (42.5, 31.5 or 21.5 cm).
Minimalist and modern or warm and traditional? Ahrend has a top to suit every style. Always finished in wear-resistant materials.
Cabinets define the workspace. Fabric panels on the backs also ensure that cabinets improve the acoustics.
A surprising implementation of a successful concept: coloured, transparent and perforated tambour door cabinet versions.
