Why Table Design Matters in Conference Rooms?

In today’s dynamic business environment, the conference room is more than just a meeting space—it’s a strategic environment where collaboration happens, decisions are made, and innovation begins. While technology and lighting often get most of the attention, one of the most important elements is frequently overlooked: the conference table.

A well-designed conference table is central to how effectively a meeting room performs. It influences communication, impacts acoustics, and determines the room’s overall usability. The Drumm Table System by Interia embodies this philosophy, offering a high-performance solution that blends functionality, flexibility, and local craftsmanship.

The Role of Table Design in Collaboration

Collaboration is the cornerstone of productive meetings. The design of the conference table directly affects how team members engage with each other. Rectangular tables can unintentionally create hierarchy by positioning certain seats as more dominant. In contrast, round or pill-shaped tables encourage eye contact and equal participation, fostering a sense of inclusion and openness.

How the Drumm Table System Fosters Collaboration

With its modular design and a variety of shapes—including round, rectangular, and pill-shaped tops—the Drumm Table System allows businesses to create layouts that support different meeting styles, from team huddles to client presentations. The flexibility of its configuration options makes it ideal for dynamic workplaces where agility and inclusivity are priorities.

Functionality Beyond Aesthetics

While aesthetics are important, a meeting room table must also be highly functional. The right office design ensures comfort, supports technology, and allows for seamless movement and access around the room.

Drumm Delivers Practicality

The Drumm Table System is built for daily commercial use, with powder-coated steel bases that provide both durability and visual appeal. With base diameters from 450mm to 900mm, it accommodates a wide range of tabletop sizes and room layouts.

Cable management is also a critical concern in modern offices, and the Drumm system can be customised to integrate data, power, and cable routing, helping to keep meeting spaces tidy, functional, and future-proof.

Sustainable, Australian-Made Quality

As businesses grow more conscious of their environmental impact and look to support local manufacturing, the origin and sustainability of furniture is becoming increasingly important.

Aesthetic Flexibility That Reflects Your Brand

A conference table does more than serve a function—it also communicates your brand. It’s often one of the first things clients or stakeholders notice when entering a meeting room. An outdated or poorly designed table can send the wrong message.

With a range of finishes, base colours, and custom sizing options, the Drumm Table System can be tailored to complement your brand identity and interior design vision—whether you’re after a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic or a bold, executive look.

The Right Table, The Right Outcomes

The design of your conference table is not a secondary consideration—it’s a strategic decision. It affects how your team interacts, how your meetings sound, and how well your room functions overall.

The Drumm Table System offers an ideal solution, combining smart design, acoustic awareness, local craftsmanship, and sustainability. It’s more than just a table—it’s a platform for productivity, professionalism, and progress.
