Folding Conference Table in grey wood
A new 4-section folding conference table in grey wood finish has been installed in the Council Chamber for East Grinstead Town Council. The regency building has very commanding interior decor and the new reconfigurable conference furniture is styled to downplay the impact rather than compete with the interior. The council chamber is used both for town councillor meetings, staff conferences and internal meetings, and also for conference room hire and as a wedding venue. A true multi-purpose conference room. The folding conference table replaced a 1980s static table which offered nothing by way of reconfiguration or the ability to empty the room.
Our folding conference tables offer a number of configurations. In meeting and conference format the table can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 modules combined to make an overall size up to 6 metres for 20 – 22 people. Tables can be turned into a ‘T’ shape for committee style layouts, or used as a single-sided table when the room is laid out with theatre-style seating rows.
Tables can be fully folded and the room cleared, or tables left at the edge of the room. 1 table is to be left folded most of the time in normal use and stored beside the grand fireplace in an alcove.
The folding conference tables are cable-managed with each section having its own access flap matched to the main surface, and cables routed down through a box-base to the floor. Sadly this 1700s building doesn’t have any cabling or socket outlets in the floor so cables are laid within a loose conduit from the table base to the perimeter.
The full 4-section table configuration can be separated, folded, and moved away within 4-5 minutes…each table typically takes about 45 seconds to fold for one person. Every section is freestanding, on lockable heavy-duty castors, and moves easily for a solid, stable, furniture piece. This council chamber has a deep-pile carpet and our table has large wheels in order to move freely across the floor.
With a 4-section modular folding conference table configuration its possible to set the conference room up in a number of ways. This space plan drawing shows typical table layouts for a multi use conference room with reconfigurable tables.
Conference room layout plans are usually the first step when planning a reconfigurable table configuration. Fusion offer a free design service to suggest the best size for the table modules and which system of folding tables works best for the conference room layouts you want to achieve.
