Darran
The concept behind “Central Bark” was to integrate a space for Service Animals to be in “Place” within workplaces. Credenzas being a common archetype within office environments and easily integrated into all kinds of spaces, provided the opportunity to incorporate a thoughtful solution to a growing need among today’s diverse workforce.
Keeping the collection within standard dimensions associated with office credenzas and case goods allows “Central Bark” to be used in the open plan, meeting spaces, or within private offices without being obtrusive or taking up additional floor space. With the inclusion of an expandable bed for the Service Animal, “Central Bark” is a sophisticated and integrated solution for Service Animals of varying sizes and provides peace of mind for the animal owner. Demonstrating that the workplace acknowledges their diverse needs and respects their inherent value as an individual.
