What's the difference between a conference table and a meeting table?

The line between the two is often blurred. A classic conference table is usually a larger, more formal model for official meetings and in-depth presentations. A meeting table, on the other hand, offers a flexible solution for everyday team conversations in a more relaxed setting. In practice, you can use either, and it's usually the space you have that decides. Which model best fits your work and your projects?

What makes a good conference table or seminar table?

For a team to work efficiently, the table needs to be sturdy and made from quality materials that are easy to look after. Integrated cable management ensures laptops and screens can be connected without any fuss, and without a tangle of cables. Our tabletops handle a busy office day with ease. We back our conference tables with a 10-year guarantee (please refer to the guarantee conditions).

How big should my conference table be?

The ideal size of your work surface depends on how many people regularly gather and how large the room is. As a simple rule of thumb, allow 60 to 80 cm in width per person – though it also depends on whether your meeting table is round or rectangular. A compact rectangular table measuring 140×108 cm is suited to six to eight people, while a large round conference table with a diameter of 120 cm offers space for four to six. Always factor in enough room for comfortable swivel chairs when planning. With our online room planner you can recreate your available space digitally and try out layouts just as you picture them – which can be very helpful when planning your office. Our team is also happy to support you with our Business Interior Design Service.

What's the optimal height for a conference table?

The standard table height for a conference table is 72 to 75 cm, which suits most office chairs. For modern standing meetings, tall seminar tables at 105 cm offer ergonomic flexibility and encourage movement during longer sessions. It's worth knowing that working standing up can also boost concentration and wellbeing. Thoughtful decoration, plants and clever lighting can also go a long way towards making everyone feel completely at ease in their workspace.

How do I set up my conference or seminar table to best effect?

Placing the meeting table centrally in the room gives everyone the best freedom of movement. A well-planned room layout also includes the right LED bulbs, which creates a pleasant atmosphere without causing glare on screens. Complement your table with practical office accessories and media storage close to hand, to keep tech and documents neatly sorted at all times. Drawer units or mobile pedestals, for example, are a smart addition that keeps the table surface clear for creative work.
