2. Tips for choosing a suitable conference table

Choosing the right conference table contributes to creating a professional, efficient workspace and enhances the company's image. In addition to selecting the size and shape that fit the room dimensions, consider the following 4 important factors:

Color and interior style:

The color of the conference table helps create the desired atmosphere and provides comfort for participants. Choose neutral tones that harmonize well and match the dominant colors in the office interior style. You can also consider the colors of the walls, floors, and curtains when selecting the conference table color. Some commonly chosen colors for conference tables include:

  • White: Suitable for modern styles, creating a spacious and youthful feel.

  • Wood: Suitable for classic styles, offering warmth and elegance.

  • Black: Suitable for minimalist styles, adding a luxurious and classy touch.

Material:

Material is a key factor affecting durability, aesthetic appeal, cost, and functionality of the conference table. Choosing durable materials helps save costs on future replacements and repairs. You can opt for natural wood with beautiful grain patterns for a luxurious and classic look, or metal materials for a modern, elegant feel that is easy to maintain.

Additional features (power sockets, connectivity ports, drawers, shelves, etc.):

A conference table equipped with additional features enhances work efficiency and convenience for users. This not only reflects the professionalism of the business but also leaves a positive impression on clients and partners. For example:

  • Conference table with power sockets and connectivity ports: Ensures smooth operation of devices like laptops, projectors, etc., during meetings.

  • Conference table with drawers and shelves: Helps organize documents and items neatly in the meeting room.

  • Conference table with LED lighting system: Creates a luxurious, modern atmosphere, aiding participants' focus during meetings.

Flexibility:

A flexible conference table optimizes office space and allows an easy-to-change layout based on usage needs. Additionally, choosing a flexible conference table helps businesses save costs on separate furniture purchases. Example:

  • Height-adjustment: This desk is suitable for users of different heights or various purposes such as meetings, gatherings, etc.

  • Equipped castors: Easy to move and rearrange positions as needed, ideal for team activities.

  • Can fold: Saves storage space when not in use, suitable for small offices.

3. Considerations when arranging a conference table in the office:

To arrange the conference table systematically and neatly, creating a credible and professional image for the business, consider the following three important guidelines:

  • Keep the distance of each chair from 65 - 80 cm around the conference table to ensure sufficient space for movement or standing up. This distance also facilitates easy interaction among participants, creating an open and collaborative atmosphere.

  • Keep the conference table 110 - 140 cm away from the wall to allow easy movement around the table without obstruction from the wall or nearby objects. This ideal distance ensures participants do not feel confined or restricted.

  • Additionally, ensure the gap between the chair and wall is at least 40 cm (when pushed in). Ideally, this distance should be between 50 - 70 cm to allow easy movement without the need to turn sideways.

Arrange the conference table systematically, neatly, and aesthetically to demonstrate the professionalism of the business.
