Some products that would seem to fit your model are: mid-range copiers (with a high level of electronic controls); high-speed printers, especially color laser printers; PBX telephone systems; high end task and executive chairs; work station furniture; cubicles; what else?

Edit: add video conferencing. Not quite as high volume, but I think a major potential growth area if somebody can really work the bugs out. Some of the problems that will have to be solved to make it take off: true full duplexing so that conversations can happen almost as effortlessly as they do in a conference room; equivalent of overhead projector or electronic flip chart in every location; ability to exchange documents almost instantly, equivalent to handing out copies of a report around the table (either high speed fax/copiers or networked computers with display screens and/or high speed printers, since most people still like to look at paper), ability for private conversations (the aside to the person sitting next to you), and some other features. The price can be high if the process is good enough that people truly see it as being as effective as getting together in person, since the costs save will be significant -- airfares, hotel, car, etc. not to mention lost time).
