Every table a staff room, canteen or breakout corner needs, at dining, poseur and coffee height, plus flip top and folding tables for rooms that change use. The Italia range covers round, square, rectangular and slimline tops on cross bases, in standard and high gloss finishes. Alongside it sit the Impulse square, trapezium, round and semi-circle tables on post, box frame or arrowhead legs, the Impulse Black Series tables, the Solstice coffee table and the Impulse Plus flip top range. Pair them with canteen chairs or high stools.
Choosing a canteen or breakout table
Start with height, because height decides how long people stay. Poseur tables suit a quick coffee and a standing chat, and they sit best along a window or wall run with stools underneath. Dining height is what you want where staff eat a proper lunch, and it is the only height that takes a plate and a laptop. Coffee height belongs beside sofas and armchairs. Most breakout rooms want at least two of the three, because a single height turns the space into one kind of room.
Then match the base and top to the floor and the traffic. Cross and disc bases give the most legroom and let chairs tuck in from any side, while box frame and post legs stay steadier under heavy daily use. Round tops forgive a tight walkway, and the Impulse trapezium and semi-circle tops push together into longer runs when a whole team needs seating. High gloss wipes clean in seconds, which counts for more in a canteen.
Rooms that change use
If your breakout space doubles as a training room, the Impulse Plus flip top and folding tables are the honest answer: rectangular, semi-circle and trapezium tops that tilt upright and wheel to a wall in minutes. Stand them beside folding chairs and the floor clears completely. For fixed rooms, our meeting room tables and canteen and restaurant sets are sturdier, while coffee and occasional tables finish the softer end alongside soft seating. The wider break out and canteen range shares finishes, so a mixed room still reads as one scheme.
