Meeting and Boardroom Furniture

Meeting and Boardroom Furniture

Meeting and Boardroom furniture is crucial for business success, as most of the decisions are taken in here, having a high aesthetic design take it to the next level.

If Nokia had bought Android, Alphabet wouldn’t have reached a trillion-dollar market cap this fast and Nokia would’ve existed. 

If Apple hadn’t fired Steve Jobs, it would’ve saved on years of lost revenues and damage to shareholder wealth. 

There are several such ifs and buts stories. The common theme between them is where they all started – the boardroom.

Your company’s boardroom may seem like another room with an elongated desk and chairs. But it plays a crucial role in how your company evolves. Because this is where all the strategic decisions are made.

Hence, it only makes sense to focus extensively on the boardroom furniture. The question is – how to get the right furniture? Read ahead to find out.

There is a time-tested method of getting the best boardroom and meeting room furniture.

On the surface, you may wonder – what’s there to think about, when you are setting up a boardroom or a meeting room?

After all, all you have to do is arrange the right boardroom tables and chairs and you are done. Right? Not exactly.

Boardroom plays a critical role in the running of a company. When it also doubles up as a meeting room, its significance escalates.

A boardroom that also serves as a meeting room will have a whole bunch of functions:

1. This is where you will conduct your strategic board meetings.
2. This is where you might meet your investors frequently.

iii. This is where your team will conduct brainstorming sessions for new product ideas.

1. This is where you will conduct internal review meetings.
2. This is where important committees such as the ones for revenue, compliance and remuneration would meet. 
3. This is where you will conduct training sessions for new recruits.

As you can see, each function will require its own set of furniture. The challenge is that you cannot have separate sets of furniture for each situation.

Hence, the furniture has to be planned in an unconventional manner. You can’t just order for boardroom chairs and tables and expect them to double up for each situation.

We have been helping businesses get the right meeting room furniture for quite some time now. Here is a set of must-haves that should be there in your meeting room:

Boardroom Table

This is the key part of your boardroom or the meeting room. This table would be central to all the meetings and sessions conducted in this room. 

Naturally, the table has to have enough space to accommodate a large group of people. It should also have a sturdy built and design that is cohesive to your office’s interior plans.

The trick is to focus on the number of people that will sit around the table in a few years. This way, you will not be left with a table that actually loses its utility with depreciation. 

Boardroom Chairs

The chairs in the boardroom are critically different than the ones in the office. In the working area, you are looking for chairs that fit the budget and are comfortable.

Boardrooms and meeting rooms are areas where stressful decisions are taken. Thus, the only priority here is the comfort of the people using the chairs.

Thus, when it comes to choosing between mesh or leather chairs, focus more on the comfort and less on the aesthetics. 

Multimedia Screen

This is the screen where you will project your financial reports, training content and even pitching ideas. The screen should be big enough to clearly showcase all the details of a deck. 

At the same time, you can’t have a huge permanent screen on the wall. It will cause distractions even when it is not used.

You can either opt for a projector or take a more utilitarian approach. Use a screen and a mobile whiteboard that can cover it from corner to corner.

This way, you can use the screen whenever necessary. When it is not being used, you can cover it with the whiteboard. The whiteboard doubles up as an illustration tool and a cover for your screen. 

Wiring Output

Finally – you will have to plan for the wirings. When important presentations are being made, you can’t let the wirings on the floor cause a ruckus on your presentation.

Similarly, you can’ avoid having wires in the room because some people will have to use their laptops in the meetings. Plus, you will have to have connections to the conference phone.

You can have plugs installed in the boardroom table and use wire coverings beneath the table to make the wires stay out of common sight for the time being.
