Choosing a MATER table for your meeting space
Match capacity to the way the room is used
Think about the number of people who typically meet at once, rather than choosing solely for occasional maximum attendance. Smaller MATER models are listed for two, three or four people and can suit quick discussions or compact rooms. Tables seating six or eight can work for regular team meetings, while configurations for 10, 12 or 16 are options to consider for larger groups. The listed capacity is a useful starting point, but allow room for chairs, circulation and the way people enter and leave the space.
Use shape to guide the layout
A round top can help keep a small meeting informal and give participants a shared focal point. Elliptical and oval tables create a longer working surface for groups arranged along the table. The family also includes a triangular model and modular tables composed of elements. Before choosing, compare the shape and stated dimensions with the room plan, doorways and nearby furniture. The collection includes models with listed widths from 130 to 518 cm and depths from 90 to 248 cm, so dimensions should be checked for the specific configuration you are considering.
Consider finishes, base style and cable needs
Surface materials listed across the range include melamine and oak, and some product descriptions specify laminate. Select from the finish choices shown on each model listing and consider how the table will relate to the rest of the meeting room. Steel bases appear in column, panel-leg and straight-leg forms; compare the listed base style if leg placement or visual openness matters for your seating plan.
If meeting equipment needs to connect at the table, check whether the chosen model is suitable for a cable tray. Several listings indicate compatibility, while the collection attributes state that a tray is not included. Confirm the details for the exact model rather than assuming every MATER table has the same cable-management arrangement. The tables are not adjustable according to the collection information, so check the listed height and other specifications on the product page if these affect your requirements.
What to check before selecting a model
Shortlist models by capacity, shape and dimensions, then review the individual listing for its tabletop material, finish, base design and cable-tray details. Also check the stated warranty and any configuration-specific information. For modular tables, verify that the selected composed configuration fits your intended use; the collection includes different element-based designs and capacities.
Once you have identified a suitable table, consider how it fits your wider furniture plan, including chairs, circulation and meeting technology. Myntwork offers FAMO MATER conference tables on a monthly lease, which can be considered when planning furniture for a workplace. Review the details of the specific model and leasing arrangement to determine what works for your space and organisation.
