Bench runs
A bench is a row of desks sharing a frame line. It is the most space-efficient arrangement and the cheapest per seat. Hexale and Loop are the frames we specify most for benches: upright legs keep the run visually quiet and leave room under the desk for pedestals. Widths of 1200 or 1400 mm per person are typical; 1000 mm works for touchdown desks.
Back-to-back
Two bench runs sharing a spine. This is where a modesty panel earns its place, and where cable management matters most. Fontana, with its twin-post sled foot, keeps long back-to-back runs rigid without a centre leg, which is why it is our first choice for runs over six desks.
L-shaped workstations
An L-shape gives each person a main worktop and a return, usually 1400–1800 mm by 800 mm plus a 1200 mm return. Fontana is available as an L-shaped desk in left and right versions (code SFL W1D1W2D2 L/R). L-shapes suit roles that spread out: design, engineering, finance.
Meeting tables in the same family
Because the joint is interchangeable, a Hexale, Aventura or Loop frame carries a meeting table top at 1600–2000 mm as easily as a desk top. Specifying meeting tables from the same range keeps the whole floor in one palette of five worktop finishes.
Changing your mind later
The reason the joint matters is the second fit-out. A bench bought today can be split into single desks, or an L-shaped run turned into a meeting table, by changing frames and keeping tops. Plan the first layout for how the team works now, not for every future.
