A closer look at the selected details
Before approving chairs for a canteen, compare the planned activity and the EN 1335 standard listing with the furniture plan, the user group, and the expected pattern of quiet individual tasks. The chair should work within the full activity, so team coordinators can review the EN 1335 standard listing and how the chairs will be repositioned against the path between seating rows before finalising a central gathering space.
Making the seating plan practical
The relevant question for staff arranging a new workspace is whether the expected session length and the EN 1335 standard listing match the users and the working pattern. When informal conversations takes place, clearance behind each chair can show whether the space around each seat and the EN 1335 standard listing fit the intended seating plan.
Fit the chairs to the room’s purpose
A shortlist for facilities teams should tie the EN 1335 standard listing to a user need and access beside the chair to the layout of a multi-purpose room. For facilities teams, the connection between access beside the chair and the EN 1335 standard listing matters most when the room is set up for short check-ins.
Assessing the selected chair features
For the planned interviews, check the chair’s relationship with seat-to-table relationship; include how the chairs will be repositioned and the EN 1335 standard listing in the same review. Compare the chair details with the room before confirming a layout: the EN 1335 standard listing, the table relationship, and seat-to-table relationship all merit review.
