Conference Room Essentials
Enwork’s Small Expanse Conference Table
A well-furnished conference room can make a big impression on clients and colleagues alike, and can help to create an atmosphere of professionalism and productivity. Here are some of our favorite manufacturers for creating the perfect space.
Comfort and Style
Conference room chairs should be ergonomic and supportive, and should encourage good posture. Tables should be the right height and size for the space, and should be sturdy enough to support laptops and other equipment. Tables, chairs and Credenzas should be sleek and modern, with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. This keeps the space feeling open and uncluttered.

Functionality
The most important part about the conference room furniture is that it should be functional and meet the specific needs of your organization. This might mean incorporating built-in power outlets and charging stations, or it might mean choosing furniture that can be easily reconfigured to accommodate different meeting formats.
Contract Furniture, Inc. uses Humanscale’s Smart Chairs. The Smart’s form-sensing mesh makes for the most intelligent ergonomic office chair you’ve ever met. Designer Niels Diffrient’s radical technology adapts its lumbar support to each unique user, providing targeted comfort and ease of use for all bodies.
Privacy and other Considerations
Additional furniture like Credenzas and Buffets come in handy when storing electronics or meal-serving supplies. And if the room requires a television monitor, consider the placement for optimal viewing by all participants.
Sometimes, the conference room is where private conversations are held, so take note of the acoustics and even consider frosted glass on walls that open to rest of the office. CFI has solutions for both sound-masking and architectural glass walls.
