Italia is a small, tidy table family running from coffee height to poseur height, which suits offices wanting reception, breakout and the meeting room to look connected. It includes the Italia Square Coffee Table and Italia Square Poseur Table on a cross base, a plain square poseur, and the Italia Volta poseur boardroom table with a pop-up power module, including a high gloss version. The cross base keeps the centre clear for feet and stools while holding the top steady. The full tables listing has the wider choice.
Choosing an Italia table
Pick the height by what people will be doing at it. Coffee height suits a reception where visitors sit low with a cup or a brochure. Poseur height is for standing meetings and quick catch ups, and works precisely because nobody settles in. Measure the walkway first, because a poseur table needs standing room on all four sides to earn its place.
Power is the other decision. The Italia Volta with its pop-up module lets a couple of laptops charge at a standing table without a lead trailing to the wall, though it does mean getting a supply to that position. If that is awkward, boardroom tables with power are usually sited against an existing feed. High gloss looks smart in reception but shows fingerprints; high gloss furniture shares that trade-off.
Seating and tables to go with it
A poseur table is only half the setup, so plan the seating with it: stools at the right height, or none at all if the point is keeping people upright. Bar and poseur tables shows the wider standing height choice and bistro and cafe tables covers smaller round tops. In reception, an Italia coffee table pairs with soft seating and reception, a proper meeting wants meeting and boardroom tables, and odd shaped rooms suit breakout and shaped tables.
Italia tables in Ipswich and East Anglia
Office Masters sells online for Neil Andrew Office Solutions Limited, a family run company on Ransomes Europark in Ipswich whose history starts in the 1980s with Neil working in his father Malcolm's business. Supply is only half of what we do. We install as well, and this year that has meant reception and breakout schemes in Ipswich, Woodbridge, Stowmarket, Colchester and Norwich.
Tables travel flat and the bases bolt on, so a coffee table is a five minute job, while a powered poseur table deserves more care because the module has to seat properly in the top. Standard UK mainland delivery is free within five working days, there is a next working day upgrade when a room has a date on it, and we can pre-build and position tables.
