Breakout and shaped tables are designed for collaboration zones, touchdown points and casual meeting spots in Irish offices. Our range includes slimline and straight tables from the Impulse Black Series. Put a standard rectangle in a breakout space and it quickly becomes another meeting room; a shaped table keeps the area informal, which is the whole idea.
Why shape matters
Around a rectangle, people fall into meeting positions: opposite one another along the long sides, with one person at the end. An irregular or shaped top has no obvious head or sides, so the conversation stays more relaxed and people mix more freely.
Where they work best
- Touchdown spots for a quick spell on a laptop.
- Casual meeting points between teams.
- The area between the desks and the kitchen.
They are made for quick, unplanned conversations rather than booked hour-long sessions. For a private room with a door, a proper meeting table is still the right choice.
Choose the right seating
Surround a shaped table with office chairs and it still feels like a meeting. Add soft seating or stools instead and the space feels like breakout. For more from the Impulse Black Series, see the Black Series range.
