Round meeting tables

Roundtable meetings: The center of productive dialogue

In modern corporate space design, the round meeting table represents a shift towards more agile and inclusive work models. Unlike rectangular tables that establish clear power dynamics, the circular format encourages equitable participation and improves the flow of visual communication among all attendees. Technically, these tables optimize the available square footage in small or square meeting rooms, eliminating dead corners and facilitating perimeter circulation. At Sklum, we offer designs that bring a residential feel to the office (resimercial), using warm finishes and robust structures that withstand intensive use without sacrificing professional elegance.

Typology according to material and environment

Advantages of circular geometry in the office

• Hierarchical equality: By not having a "head of the table", a collaborative environment is fostered where all opinions have the same spatial weight.
• Space optimization: Perfect for square rooms, they allow you to fit more chairs in less space than an equivalent rectangular table.
• Safety and flow: The absence of sharp corners prevents accidental bumps and allows for smoother movement around the table.
• Aesthetic versatility: They integrate easily into both closed offices and open-plan areas, acting as organic meeting points.

Criteria for sizing the boardroom

To choose the right diameter, calculate the number of people who will typically be attending. A table with a diameter of 100-120 cm is ideal for intimate meetings of 3 to 4 people. For groups of 5 to 6 people, opt for a diameter of 140-150 cm. If you need flexibility, oval or extendable tables allow you to accommodate up to 8-10 people without losing the gentle curve at the ends. Remember to leave a free perimeter of at least 90 cm around the table to allow for chairs to be moved out and for comfortable movement, and consider the placement of floor outlets if you require laptop power.

Frequently asked questions about meeting tables

• Are round tables with a single central leg stable?

  Yes, our models with a central base (tulip or column type) are counterweighted to ensure total stability and free up legroom.

• How to manage cabling on a round table?

  Although many do not include top access as standard, the central base usually allows for discreet cable routing or mobile electrification solutions can be used.

• What surface is best for writing?

  Smooth wooden surfaces, lacquered MDF, or tempered glass offer the best support for handwriting. Cement or rough stone require the use of a writing pad or folders.

• Are glass tables safe for the office?

  Absolutely. We use tempered safety glass, which is impact-resistant and, if broken, shatters into blunt pieces.
