HON has expanded its Preside™ conference table series to include four fresh shapes to meet the demand of modern meetings. The new additions are thoughtfully designed to tackle the challenges of hybrid meetings, ensuring an inclusive experience for both virtual and in-person participants.
Versatile Shapes for Every Meeting Size Preside now features four new conference table shapes – Chevron, Tapered, Boomerang, and Media Tapered – each tailored to meet the demands of mixed presence meetings. The innovative shapes offer flexibility and feature softer, more organic designs that allow users to move freely without any obstructions from legs or sharp corners. By eliminating the traditional head-of-table position and enhancing the presence of each participant with improved viewing angles for both in-person and remote attendees, Preside tables ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute and participate in meetings. The four shapes are:
Chevron – An angled front edge with radiused corners promotes interaction between two users while providing clear monitor viewing angles.
Tapered – An angled, linear profile fans users in front of the monitor, creating an optimal field of view.
Boomerang – A wide angle supports spaces with multiple monitors while allowing users clear sightlines to one another.
Media Tapered – A shortened, tapered shape provides optimal viewing for users in a mounted table solution.
Enhanced Hybrid Meeting Experience Designed with hybrid meetings in mind, the new table shapes enhance meeting experiences by ensuring clear visibility between remote and in-person participants. These thoughtfully crafted tables position each user around the curved layout and foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels engaged and connected.
Seamless Integration of Power and Connectivity Recognizing the importance of integrating technology into modern meetings, Preside tables offer a wide selection of the latest connection capabilities. Preside tables seamlessly integrate power modules that provide USB, power, and data ports, allowing participants to stay connected and productive without any disruptions.
Preside tables are available in a range of colors and finishes, including 31 laminate and 25 paint colors. The new shapes are compatible with existing bases, edge options, and power cutouts, making it easy for customers to seamlessly incorporate them into their current office setup.
