Friant Verity: benching that grows with the team
Open-plan benching built for interaction — with per-person power, add-on growth, and privacy where you actually need it.
Not every team should sit behind tall panels. Friant built Verity as “a benching system that creates a productive workspace, which welcomes interaction and enhances the workflow for teams.” If your people collaborate more than they hide, benching is often the better — and more affordable per seat — answer.
Is benching right for your team?
Benching shares a continuous run of worksurface instead of boxing each person into a panel cubicle. It reads open, it packs efficiently, and it’s easy to grow. Verity comes single-sided or double-sided, and its “120 Degree Feature” lets you fan workstations out for more room while keeping the open-bench feel.
Made to grow
Friant designs Verity to be “Made to Grow” — you attach units as the team expands, instead of buying a whole new set of workstations every time you add headcount. For a company that’s still figuring out its size, that’s the point.
Power, one person at a time
Verity comes standard with top-access power and cord management below the surface, and — importantly — “each person gets their own power module” so nobody fights for an outlet. Powered units carry the same 8-wire, four 20-amp circuit backbone, with high cable lay-in under the surface.
Privacy where you actually need it
Open doesn’t have to mean exposed. Verity offers track-mounted screens in fabric or glass, surface-mounted screens in fabric, glass, or markerboard, and modesty panels — so you add privacy at the seats that need it without walling off the whole floor. Worksurfaces are supported by legs, pedestals, cabinets, or credenzas.
The long-view details
Verity is rated at up to 45% recycled content (30% pre-consumer plus 15% post-consumer) in a typical configuration and up to 75% recyclable, may contribute to LEED points, and carries Friant’s Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original owner.
The honest version
Benching isn’t for everyone — a floor full of heads-down focus roles may still want panels. But for collaborative teams, growing teams, and budgets that need more seats per dollar, Verity is usually the smarter open-plan move. Send us a floor plan and headcount and we’ll lay it out both ways.

Yes. Verity offers track-mounted screens in fabric or glass, surface-mounted screens in fabric, glass, or markerboard, and modesty panels — so privacy can be added at specific seats without enclosing the whole floor.
