Design office tables

Not all office desks meet the same need, and the shape of the desk directly influences how the space is used. The L-shaped office desk is one of the most popular options for individual workstations, as it adds a perpendicular auxiliary surface that is ideal for a second monitor or documents, without the need for additional furniture. The round desk, for its part, is used less as an individual workstation and more as an informal meeting point or reception table, as it naturally facilitates face-to-face conversation.

For shared spaces there are multi-person or operational desks, designed for several workers within a single structure and common in open-plan offices. And for those who need to make the most of every corner, a corner desk allows the workstation to be positioned in a corner without sacrificing circulation space. Complement your desk with the right office chairs to maximise your comfort.

Height-adjustable office desks are one of the most in-demand trends of recent years, as they allow users to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the working day. This type of desk, also known as a sit-stand desk, reduces the time spent in a single posture, helping to prevent the lumbar and neck discomfort associated with long hours at a desk.

When choosing a height-adjustable desk, it is worth looking at the height range offered by the mechanism (manual or electric), the speed of adjustment and the stability of the surface at its highest position, particularly if you plan to work with multiple monitors. Electric versions with height memory are the most convenient for those who alternate several times a day between sitting and standing.

Modern office desks are characterised by a minimalist design that emphasises clean lines and simple forms. This approach not only creates an elegant aesthetic but also helps maintain an ordered, distraction-free work environment, with clear surfaces that allow focus on tasks without the visual clutter of an overloaded desk.

The materials used reflect the same pursuit of durability and functionality. A glass office desk brings lightness and transparency, and is particularly well-suited to smaller spaces where it is important not to overload the room visually. Metal adds a touch of modernity and structural strength, while a wooden office desk, in neutral tones and clean finishes, suits both classic offices and contemporary environments equally well. All our designer desks are ideal for elevating your décor, and can be complemented with our office lamps to achieve adequate lighting that reduces eye strain.

A meeting room table serves a different purpose from an individual work desk: it must facilitate visual communication between all attendees and, increasingly, integrate the technology required for video calls and presentations. The size and shape depend on the usual number of people and the intended use: rectangular tables for formal rooms with many attendees, and round or oval tables for smaller or more informal gatherings.

In offices with several rooms, it is advisable to maintain a consistent design language between the meeting table and the rest of the office furniture, so that the space conveys the same visual identity regardless of which room is being used.

Beyond the desk itself, there are accessories that improve the use of space and the organisation of the workstation. A desk pedestal unit adds nearby storage for documents or work materials without taking up desk surface, and in many models it can be placed directly under the worktop.

In open-plan offices or at multi-person desks, a desk divider panel provides visual and acoustic privacy between adjacent workstations without the need to install permanent partitions — a solution that is increasingly common in shared workspaces. And to keep the desk surface clear, integrated cable management systems prevent monitor cables, chargers and peripherals from being visible, improving both the aesthetics and the safety of the workstation.

What height should an office desk be?
The standard height for an office desk is between 72 and 75 cm, designed for a person of average height working seated. If the chair does not allow this relationship to be adjusted properly, the most practical option is a height-adjustable desk that can be set to each user's actual requirements.

Is a height-adjustable desk worth it compared to a fixed one?
If you spend more than six hours a day seated, yes: alternating between sitting and standing reduces the continuous load on the back and improves comfort during long working days. For more occasional use, a fixed desk at standard height is usually sufficient.

What size meeting table do I need?
As a general reference, between 60 and 80 linear centimetres of table per person is the standard allowance, leaving enough space to move around the room. The usual number of attendees and the intended use (internal meetings or client-facing) will determine whether a rectangular or oval table is more appropriate.

What is a desk divider panel used for?
It provides visual privacy and, in some models, acoustic privacy too, between adjacent workstations in open-plan offices or at multi-person desks, without the need to install fixed partitions.
