Show Notes
In our very first episode of Workspace Design Lab, I sat down with Tony Vander Park,
President and Design Director at NovaLink, to explore the legacy, logic, and
future-forward thinking behind Series 7.8, NovaLink’s most adaptive console system to
date. We unpack what “parametric contract furniture” really means, why bi-directional
monitor movement is a game-changer for user wellbeing, and how thoughtful design
can shape sightlines, collaboration, and comfort across control rooms, trading floors,
and high-stakes environments.
Tony shared the journey from CRT turrets to today’s modular, multi-monitor setups and
why the details, like a 22-inch ADA-compliant work surface height or synchronized
monitor clusters, matter more than ever. We also discussed sustainability in
manufacturing, long-term product evolution, and the heart behind NovaLink’s
factory-first culture.
If you’re ready to rethink what console furniture can do, this one is for you.
