Rita Catinella Orrell was previously products editor at Architectural Record<\/i> and the founding editor of Snap<\/i>, a quarterly building products magazine. she launched DesignyThings.com<\/a>, a curated list of gifts, gadgets, and gear for consumers, in 2011, and Architects-Toybox.com<\/a>, a resource for architects and designers looking for the latest building products, in 2013.

Drawing inspiration from Amuneal<\/a>\u2019s in-house archive of industrial and architectural artifacts, the Frankford Panel System<\/a> is a fully modular panel system designed to be configured for any environment. Showcased at Amuneal\u2019s incredible ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) booth last month, Frankford combines highly engineered models and artisan-finished materials to create unique panel configurations.<\/p>\n

A single run of interlocking panels can create transitions between private office settings, open communal spaces, or serve as an architectural backdrop. Utilizing a proprietary series of extrusions and interconnecting hardware, standard panels can range up to six feet wide and up to 10 feet tall. Strong corner connections allow configurations to be freestanding in any environment, while Amuneal\u2019s built-in leveling system helps to compensate for uneven floors and other field conditions. Standard panels have up to two horizontal supports that create opportunities for infill panels of metal, glass, and other materials up to three-eighths of an inch thick.<\/p>\n
