Boardroom Furniture | Commercial Design Control Inc.

The Boardroom is the heart of the office. It reflects the style and the communication grounds that companies use to come together. Boardroom furniture should be simple but impressive. It should show how a company visualizes themselves to its staff, and the outside world.

The Boardroom is where big and small ideas are taken and decisions are made. Collaboration, socializing and power all go into the board room so the furniture should be comfortable, simple and easy to use. It should create a statement that identifies and outlines the company itself.

These days you can choose and customize boardroom tables based on style, budget and usage. Most tables are built with Multi-Outlet Power Modules that can be used for direct access plug-in for laptops, media devices and phones. Finishes and details for size depend on your square footage of the room, budget and the design style of the office. Wood finishes are very popular for an executive board room whereas a laminate finishes would normally be used in a manager’s conference or meeting room.

At Commercial Design Control Inc. we provide a number of options in boardroom tables and seating which can be customized and reconfigured based on your needs and space. We provide our customers varying table sizes that will accommodate a small 4 person meeting up to a 50 foot long custom table that will accommodate up to a 60 person meeting. Media speakers, cameras and flat screen monitors are connected to the table and used for amplifying and enlarging the visual view as required.

Boardroom table legs come in many choices depending on your top style and finish. Wood gables, steel posts and laminate slabs are used depending on the look as well as the budget set aside for the project.

Seating for the table should accommodate the average body frame. A certain percent of the chairs should have a larger seat pan and base to ensure all body types can be seated comfortably for long periods of time. Ergonomic height adjustments for the seat and arms should be easy for the user to use. This will aid in having your guest sit for longer periods of time without feeling any back or leg pain. Make sure there is enough space around the table and behind the chairs. You should aim for at least 36” behind each chair while someone is sitting in the chair before hitting a wall or another piece of furniture so people can excuse themselves from the meeting with little disruption to other meeting members.

Use a side credenza or a small side table for drinks and refreshments. A lectern or screen can be added for presentations depending on the need and usability.

At the end of the day the boardroom furniture should reflect your organization’s stature and the people that are working there. To create a productive meeting place for your board room, aim for a blend of elegance, professionalism and comfort; you will be thanked by your guests!
