Introducing Una — an innovative furniture collection by modus ID featuring advanced knit technology that moves with you. The Una Collection includes a height-adjustable conference table, executive workstation, and wall-mounted table—each designed for seamless collaboration and personalization. Central to the system is the zaro-waste, knit-to-shape Flex-Knit™ base, crafted from a high-performance textile that combines sculptural beauty with adaptive flexibility. This fusion of premium materials, engineering precision, and design innovation makes Una the perfect solution for dynamic modern workspaces.
Extending beyond the table base, Una encompasses a complete family of furnishings for today’s offices—executive workstations, private offices, wall-mounted tables, and media wall tables—all unified by the Flex-Knit base for a cohesive aesthetic. Blending soft, architectural knit forms with functional surfaces, Una creates environments that are refined, comfortable, and effortlessly contemporary.
At the core of Una’s design is the Flex-Knit™ material, developed for its elasticity, strength, and versatility. Created with knit-to-shape technology, it allows for a range of custom colors and precise, waste-free fabrication. Rigid oval rings anchor the top and bottom of the base, securing the knit sleeve into a continuous, tensile form. When tensioned, the knit fabric achieves a sleek, stable silhouette that adapts fluidly as the height-adjustable mechanism raises or lowers the table. The ribbed textile maintains its opacity when stretched, introducing texture and visual depth while ensuring durability and flexibility.
This advanced knit-to-shape process eliminates cutting and stitching, directly weaving the textile into its final form—drastically reducing material waste and elevating craftsmanship. The result is a sculptural base that embodies sustainability, innovation, and timeless design—merging engineering and artistry into one expressive piece.
