Workspace Furniture & Private Spaces

Match the Product to the Workplace Function

Map Activities Before Selecting Finishes

List the activities the space needs to support and where they occur during the day. A large meeting table cannot substitute for a private room, and a shared bench should not occupy the circulation needed to reach one.

Draw the furniture and stations at their actual dimensions, then add the space for occupied use. Review the plan with the people responsible for facilities and installation.

Use the Specialist Collections for Detailed Decisions

For chair layout and the table base, use the conference table buying guide. For two-sided approach and assembly, review office benches. Keeping those decisions with their specific products makes the overall office plan easier to coordinate.

For a Beckon station, review the exact product’s dimensions, equipment and installation documentation. Any accessibility or other project requirement must be checked against the selected configuration and its installed location.

Coordinate Delivery and Long-Term Use

Check building access, elevators, turns and the space available for on-site assembly. Assign responsibility for receiving and installing each product, including any services required by an enclosed station.

Choose finishes with the actual cleaning and maintenance routine in mind. Wood and metal may need different care, so retain the product-specific guidance with the facilities information after installation.
