Office chairs provide comfort during long meetings and discussions. They typically have adjustable features like height and backrest, and their standard dimensions range from 70 to 80 cm in width and 60 to 80 cm in depth.
Meeting room conference tables accommodate a group of people collaborating for discussions and decision-making.
They come in various sizes and shapes (rectangular, square, oval, and round) and should be chosen according to the number of team members and the room size in a given space.
- Rectangular desk dimensions range from approx. 240x110 cm to 488x152 cm in width and depth.

- Chair Spacing & Clearance
- Conference Table Clearance & Circulation
- Whiteboard Circulation
- Viewing Distance Between Screen To Seating
When placing chairs around a conference table, note that:
- A compact arrangement would allow for 20~ cm between chairs.
- A spacious arrangement would allow for 45~ cm between chairs.
- In both cases, you will need a minimum of 75 cm behind the chairs for clearance.
The dimension required around a meeting room table depends on the number of people it accommodates:
- The minimal size of clearance for seating is 75 cm.
- When both clearance and circulation are needed, the dimension around a table should be 150 cm (75 cm seating clearance + 75 cm walking circulation).
- For a large conference table seating more than six people, consider a double walking route of 2.25 cm on at least one of its sides to ensure a good circulation flow.
The space in front of a whiteboard should be large enough for the presenter to move freely and write comfortably. In that respect, ensure a clearance of 120 cm - 150 cm~ in front of it, which will enable approaching it from various angles.
Meeting rooms often facilitate presentations. Therefore, it's essential to place a screen in an adequate size within a reasonable distance from the conference table.
- Correlate the screen size with the table size; a compact four-people table will suit a 50"~ screen, and a spacious ten people table can afford a 100"~ screen.
- A general guideline for a viewing distance between a screen and a conference table is to multiply the diagonal screen size by 1.2 to 1.5 to determine the approximate viewing distance range. The outcome is the distance between the screen and the table's middle.
