Office measurements: how many seats can fit, desk and meeting table measurements for 4 to 12 people

To size an office before having the plan, use 8 to 10 m² of total surface area per person in an open space with rooms: it is the figure that leaves comfortable hallways and a meeting room without crowding anyone. An operating desk measures 120 × 60 cm and 75 cm high, and a table for 6 people, around 180 × 100 cm, with 90 cm free on each side for chairs. Going below 6 m² per person is almost always paid for by narrow corridors and missing rooms.

The figures in this guide are office design references. The furniture measurements are those of the Dunati catalogue, and the exact number of seats comes from the real plan, which we draw in plan and 3D before deciding.

How many square meters does each workplace need?

The position itself (desk, chair and their circulation) occupies 3 to 4 m². The rest are the common spaces that an office needs to function, and they are the ones that are most underestimated when comparing leases.

How many positions can fit in an office of 20 people?

For 20 people in a standard open space, between 160 and 200 m² are needed: five front stations with four seats (each 240 × 121 cm with 120 × 60 seats), a meeting room for 6 to 8 people, a call booth, reception and kitchen. If the surface area is smaller, it is compensated with stations of six and a single room. As a reference period, about 20 positions with line laminates and structures in stock are manufactured in 10 business days, plus about 1 day of installation in the Metropolitan Region; The firm term is in the quote.

How many positions can fit in an office of 50 people?

Between 400 and 500 m² in standard open space: twelve stations with four seats and one with two, two meeting rooms (one for 8 and one for 12), two or three booths for calls, two closed offices for management, reception with waiting and kitchen with dining room. In this size it is advisable to draw the layout in 3D before signing the lease: the shape of the floor (columns, facades, elevator core) changes the account more than the meters.

How long should the hallways and circulation be?

• main hallway: 120 cm minimum, so that two people can cross each other.
• Corridor between stations: 90 cm between the back of a chair and the furniture behind it.
• Space behind the deskfor sitting and standing: 75 to 90 cm from the edge of the cover.
• Accessibility: widths of doors, hallways and turning radii according to the current standard, applied by your architect.

How long is an office desk?

To choose the length: 120 cm is enough for a station with a notebook and a screen; 140 to 160 cm, for two screens. For the background: 60 cm with one screen, 70 cm with two or with documents.

How long is a meeting table based on the number of people?

The rule is 60 cm of edge per person and 90 cm free around for the chairs. With that, and with the measurements of the tables in the catalog:

The Versa and Arko meeting tables are composed of single, double and triple modules to reach those lengths without a single piece that is difficult to carry up the elevator. In corporate buildings, Dunati coordinates entry, elevator schedules, and packaging removal with management. For directories, Legacy and Arista have tables 200 to 400 cm long, with laminate or veneer tops. For more than 10 people, it is advisable to electrify the center of the table for the screen and video calls.

How much space should be left around a meeting table?

90 cm from the edge of the table to the nearest wall or piece of furniture, for sitting and standing; 120 cm on the side where you drive or where the door is; and the table no less than 150 cm from the screen, at the head. The most common mistake is measuring the table and forgetting the chairs: a 3 × 3 m room does not receive a table for 6.

How long is a reception furniture?

• height of the inn: Magic reception is 110 cm high.
• Long: the straight Magic ranges from 125 to 245 cm; with lateral extension, from 225 to 345 cm; in L, 205 × 205 cm.
• Background: around 70 cm in the straight version.
• Space in front of the inn: 150 cm free for a visitor to wait without blocking the way.

If the inn has to fit a wall, a logo or include a low section for accessible service, it is custom-made in Chile.

How much space does an acoustic booth take up?

For long sessions of concentrated work there is the Zenpod W, also individual and with a table. A cabin occupies fewer meters than a closed room and is delivered assembled, with wheels to position it and leveling legs that fix it in the installation: with stock in Chile, the reference period is about 10 business days, delivered and installed.

How do you go from these measurements to a real layout?

With the plant plan, Dunati draws the layout in 3D: locates stations, rooms, cabins and reception, checks corridors and electrification and shows what it will look like before manufacturing. We are dedicated to furniture and its distribution; The work on the premises is coordinated by your architect or your construction company, and if you do not have one, we work with allies that we can recommend to you. If the architect draws the project, he can order the DWG and DXF blocks, the 3D models (SketchUp, OBJ and 3DS) and the plugin for pCon.planner. About the electrical points: Dunati connects the electrification of the furniture to the points left by the construction company; It does not carry out electrical installations, so it is advisable that the layout be approved before defining the floor sockets.

How many people can fit in 100 m² of office?

Between 10 and 12 in standard open space with a meeting room, or from 14 to 16 in stations of six with a single small room.

What desk height is correct?

75 cm for most people, with an adjustable chair. For those who are very tall or very short, a lifting desk like the Lift (65 to 125 cm) solves the difference.

How long is an office chair?

For reference, 60 to 70 cm wide by 60 to 70 cm deep with its five-pointed base. You have to add 75 to 90 cm behind the desk to move it.

What shape of table is best for 8 or more people?

Rectangular in modules, with electrification in the center. The round one stops serving 6 people because the diameter grows too large for the room.

Can you put an acoustic booth instead of a room?

For 1 to 6 people, yes: the Zenpod L accommodates 4 to 6 in 220 × 150 cm. For larger groups, a room is needed.

Who defines the layout, the architect or Dunati?

If there is an architect, he defines the project and Dunati draws the furniture on his plan. If there is not one, Dunati proposes the distribution of the furniture in 3D.
