Bar & Poseur Tables

Standing height, and why meetings get shorter

Standing height tables for breakout areas, informal meetings and events, drawn from the Italia range in rectangular and round tops.

The genuine advantage

Stand-up meetings stay short, and they stay short precisely because nobody is sitting down. A poseur table in a breakout area is one of the cheapest ways to change how a team meets.

They also work well as overflow surface at events and as informal touchdown points near a kitchen or entrance.

Match the stools, or do not buy stools

A poseur table needs high stools, and the height difference between poseur and standard is not something you can absorb with a cushion. Our stools and draughtsman chairs and cafe and bistro seating cover the right heights.

Equally, a poseur table with no seating at all is a legitimate choice for a space meant for brief stops.

Where they fail

As the only option in a canteen. People eating lunch want to sit properly, and a room entirely at poseur height gets used for coffee and abandoned at midday.
