Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, we're here to help

What size is a breakout sofa?

  • 2 seater is 120 cm 
  • 3 seater is 180 cm

This is a breakout seating sofa and lounge seating without armrests so these can be pushed together to create one long sofa with a large seat. This type of breakout room furniture can also be made in the colour and bespoke size of your choice.

Do high back sofas reduce noise?

If the backs and/or the sides of sofas and breakout chairs are above user head height then yes, they can certainly help to reduce noise on breakout area furniture from a reception area.

  1. High breakout furniture does this by ‘cocooning’ people and providing an acoustic buffer - ideal in busy open plan breakout areas where noisy conversations and phone calls can bounce off hard surfaces.
  2. The high back sofas can also help to increase privacy and reduce distractions when using shared breakout chairs, work canteen furniture, social space furniture or reception area.

Do breakout sofas and tables come with built-in power sockets?

People need to charge phones, laptops and other devices, whether on their breaks or in meetings staff lounge areas will normally also be used as quiet spaces for work or to make calls using office furniture.

Integrated power points

Breakout chairs, lounge chairs and office furniture with usb ports, power sockets and data sockets can be incorporated into most officer breakout area furniture from sofa and chair armrests, work canteen tables and side table tops.

Having integrated sockets is especially convenient during informal meetings where staff need to stay connected.

What types of breakout furniture are available?

We offer a full range of options including modular sofas, high-back seating, breakout pods, coffee tables, ottomans, modular office furniture and versatile soft seating. This ensures every breakout space can be tailored to its purpose.

Is modular breakout furniture better for small offices?

Yes, modular systems are often the best choice. They allow you to maximise space, reconfigure layouts quickly, and create both private and collaborative zones without permanent fixtures.

Do you offer installation and space planning services?

Our design team provides an optional space planning service to help you visualise layouts and make the best use of your floorplan. We can deliver and install all furniture across the UK, ensuring everything fits perfectly from day one.

What warranty do you provide on commercial furniture?

All of our commercial furniture comes with a 5-year warranty as standard. This covers structural integrity and manufacturing defects for peace of mind that your investment is built to last.

What lead times should I be looking at for commercial breakout furniture orders?

Standard office breakout furniture items usually arrive within about 6 weeks from when we confirm the order. We take our time to make sure they meet top-notch commercial standards and get them delivered right across the UK.

For any of our bespoke furniture or super- customised upholstery jobs, things can take a bit longer - we're talking 8-10 weeks depending on just how complicated your requirements are.

What is a Breakout Room?

An office breakout room is a dedicated space within a workplace or school designed for various purposes outside the usual work-related activities. Here are its key features and functions:

An area that promotes relaxation and Informal Interaction:

  • Provides a casual environment for employees to relax and unwind.
  • Encourages informal interactions and socialising among others.

Alternative Work Setting:

  • Offers a change of scenery from the typical desk setting.
  • Suitable for less formal, collaborative work or individual tasks requiring a quieter environment.

Meetings and Brainstorming Sessions:

  • Ideal for informal meetings or brainstorming sessions.
  • Often equipped with whiteboards or screens for presentations.

What to Look For in Office Breakout Furniture

When selecting office collaborative furniture, it’s important to consider comfort, functionality, and how well it aligns with your team’s day-to-day needs.

Comfort & Functionality

Look for furniture that invites people to sit and relax — such as cushioned modular sofas, breakout chairs with high-back seating for privacy, lounge chairs, soft seating and ottomans with dual-purpose storage or plant features.

Easy to reconfigure

Versatility is also essential. Furniture that can be reconfigured for team huddles, individual focus work, or even impromptu meetings ensures your breakout space remains adaptable. Look for lightweight pieces that are easy to move and clean, especially in high-traffic areas.

Adaptable for technology usage

Office breakout furniture with integrated technology such as built-in USB ports or plug sockets adds practical value and supports hybrid work.

Finally, don't forget aesthetics. Bright colours, soft textures and biophilic design elements like planters can create a welcoming, wellbeing-enhancing space.

How Can I Create an Accessible Office Breakout Space?

When designing a layout for your office breakout area always consider accessibility for staff members and visitors.

If you include employees in the breakout furniture design process they will be able to advise you on their preferred access requirements - for example, height adjustable tables and lounge chairs with easy to reach plug sockets can make daily tasks easier for physically disabled employees.

Some other things to consider are:

Breakout Furniture for Schools & Education Settings

Schools love well-designed breakout areas. Our student breakout furniture includes soft seating, modular sofas and flexible tables to encourage collaboration and comfort. These are perfect for common rooms, group project areas or quiet reading zones in schools and colleges.

These modular seating solutions allow universities to reconfigure spaces quickly, for group discussions and individual study. Features like integrated power points, acoustic panels and ergonomic design make them ideal for hybrid and digital learning environments.
