Classroom

Classroom is a fantastic layout choice if you are looking for furniture for a conference or seminar where guests need to be forward facing but require the use of a table for either note-taking, refreshments or laptops.

Herringbone

Herringbone is very similar to Classroom seating, but the chairs and tables are slightly on an angle. A great choice if there needs to be interaction between the delegates in the room but they still need to be forward facing and require the use of a table for either note-taking, refreshments or laptops.
