We’ve all experienced some level of ‘low-battery anxiety’ when our devices aren’t quite up for the task at hand. Finding an outlet in the workplace can be challenging, especially if you’re fighting other co-workers for access! Steelcase Thread simplifies power distribution in the workplace, providing power to the devices we need for innovation in the places where we need it most. Its ultra thin design lays nicely underneath the carpet.

At a height of just 3/16″, Thread’s power track seamlessly integrates into a space, providing power to furniture and users, without impacting foot traffic. Thread’s simple kit of parts provides power to any space – whether in a café space or classroom – allowing under-utilized real estate to work harder. And, installing Thread is as easy as laying carpet, with modularity that makes it easy to reconfigure. Power can easily be added to new construction or retrofitted into existing spaces.
