Canopy tables: defining breakout space without walls

A stronger frame and a lighter, more contemporary form — a canopy table gives a breakout area a sense of place without building anything.

Canopy tables: defining breakout space without walls

Canopy tables solve a problem that comes up on almost every open-plan floor: how do you give a breakout area a sense of place without putting up walls? A redesigned frame and a more contemporary form now do that with cleaner lines and a lighter presence, so the space around the table feels intentional rather than improvised.

Movement, when the layout has to change

A castor option lets modern, durable wheels be added to the base so the table can be repositioned whenever the space needs to change. Four strong castors mean a canopy can be adapted for events, collaboration or simply a change of scene — no heavy lifting required.

Straightforward assembly

A single standard bolt is used throughout the entire build. Fewer parts and fewer steps mean faster, easier assembly without compromising strength, which matters when a floor is being installed out of hours against a tight programme.

Built to adapt

  • Three overall configurations, plus the mobile option for environments where layouts shift through the day
  • Four top tray patterns, which shape the visual character overhead
  • A wide palette of board and metalwork finishes, so it can align with brand tone or an existing scheme

Used well, a canopy does more than hold laptops and coffee cups. It marks the boundary of a zone, softens the acoustics overhead and gives people a reason to sit somewhere other than their desk.

If you are planning a breakout area, talk to us early — location and acoustics decide whether it gets used far more than the furniture does.
