CALCULATE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL FIT AT YOUR MEETING TABLE

November 9, 2017

Need a simple way to calculate how many people can fit at different sized meeting tables?  Here is a suggested guide:

3600W x 1200D 12-14 people
3000W x 1200D 10-12 people
2400W x 1200D 8-10 people
2100W x 1200D 6-8 people

How did we work this out? First we calculated the perimeter of the table. As a general rule, each person should have a minimum of 600mm space. A minimum of 600mm space each is necessary to have enough arm and leg room and to allow ease of movement to and from the table. Of course, in some scenarios more space is required, for a executive boardroom setting we suggest increasing the space to 800mm. 

So lets break it down, If we take a 3000mm wide by 1200mm deep meeting table for instance, it has a perimeter of 8400mm, so depending on the purpose of the table, we could potentially seat up to 14 people. 3000mm x 1200mm is more commonly used as an executive boardroom table though so we would recommend between 10 or 12 seats. Another example is a 1500mm diameter table, which has a perimeter of approximately 4710mm. We would recommend a maximum of 7 people for this size table.

Choosing a more compact chair maximises each person’s space. Chairs such as the Miro S, Sax, Baz and Zed are just a few of our compact chairs which allow more space for each user. Informal meeting tables can also be paired with chairs such as Zorro, Inc, or Spyder to save even more space.
