Breakout furniture, also known as breakout area furniture, is a category of furniture designed for informal and flexible seating arrangements within office environments. These spaces are referred to as “breakout areas” or “communal areas”. These areas are designed to provide employees with a comfortable and relaxed setting for activities such as informal meetings, teamwork, relaxation, or simply a change of scenery during the workday.

The goal of breakout furniture is to create an inviting and flexible space that encourages communication, collaboration, and relaxation within the workplace.

Key features of breakout furniture include:

Comfortable Breakout Furniture

Seating is typically designed to be comfortable and inviting, often featuring upholstered seating, cushions, and soft materials to create a cosy atmosphere.

Variety of Seating Options

It includes a variety of seating options, such as sofas, lounge chairs, ottomans, bean bags, and even barstools and high tables. Accommodating different preferences and work styles.

Some companies even have hammocks (Sorry we don’t have any)

Modularity & Flexibility

Many breakout furniture pieces are modular, allowing them to be reconfigured or rearranged to suit the specific needs of the users. This flexibility makes it easier to adapt the space to various activities. Hot swap office space on one day an office the next a lecture theatre.

Modular furniture often has a stylish and contemporary design, contributing to the overall aesthetics of the office environment. Tactile materials and high-impact colours are often used.

Technology Integration

Pieces of breakout furniture may incorporate technology features, like built-in power outlets, USB charging ports, or screens for presentations. We have seen screen tables.

Privacy Elements

Some pieces may include dividers or screens to provide a degree of privacy or separation within the open environment.
Acoustic Properties: In open office environments, acoustic considerations are crucial. Some breakout furniture is designed with sound-absorbing materials or features to help manage noise levels in the area.
