Choosing a B 20 for your layout
Start with the intended setting and the available floor area. A square B 20 A can suit a compact seating arrangement or a position between chairs, while the longer B 20 B may work well in a wider lounge group. These are practical starting points rather than fixed rules: measure the space and allow enough room for people to move around the table and use nearby seating comfortably.
Next, decide whether a lower shelf will be useful. B 20 A/1 and B 20 B/1 include a shelf, giving you an additional surface for items used in the space. Choose a model without one if you prefer an open underside or want to keep the table visually simple. Think about how the table will be maintained and what occupants are likely to leave within reach.
Check the model details before specifying
Shape and dimensions
The B 20 A models are square, with a listed width and depth of 80 cm. The B 20 B is listed at 120 × 80 × 36 cm. The supplied information does not give a separate dimension listing for B 20 B/1, so confirm its dimensions before planning a precise fit. Also check the selected model’s height and clearance against the seating in your project.
Top and base
Model descriptions identify beech veneer tops on the B 20 A tables and the B 20 B, while B 20 B/1 is described as oak. The B 20 A and B 20 B descriptions specify a chrome-finished metal base; the B 20 B/1 description identifies a metal base without specifying a finish. Use the details for the exact model rather than assuming every finish or material applies across the family.
The collection attributes list a range of surface and base colors, but do not map every color to each model. Confirm which combinations are available for the table you plan to specify. The product information also marks the tables as suitable for a cable tray, but says a cable tray is not included; check whether this feature is relevant to your setup.
Plan the next step
Before finalizing a workplace furniture schedule, compare the model code, shape, shelf configuration, dimensions and material details with your floor plan and neighboring furniture. For a multi-site or shared-space project, keeping the chosen model consistent can help create a coordinated look; where functions differ, the square and rectangular formats offer alternatives within the same family.
