This arrangement of workstations provides 2 places for joint work and 2 places for people whose work does not involve interaction.

This type of desk arrangement in the office allows employees to work separately and at the same time “keep up” with the entire team. The room is divided into isolated parts using partitions made of different types of material, taking into account sound and visual insulation.

Parallel arrangement of workstations one after another
