A bad breakout space is one people walk past. A good one is where the best conversations happen, where people actually switch off for twenty minutes, and where the afternoon feels manageable again. The difference between the two is almost always the furniture.
Our breakout and canteen furniture range covers every informal space in the building. Canteen tables and chairs for staff dining areas, poseur height tables for standing zones, acoustic pods for quiet focus within open-plan offices, and a fast-track stocked selection for businesses that need something in place quickly.
Most pieces are made by leading UK manufacturers to a commercial standard, so they hold up to the kind of daily use that breakout furniture actually gets. And if you are in a hurry, our fast-track range includes items available for next-day delivery.

Breakout spaces work best when the furniture is chosen with the people using it in mind. Here is how our range breaks down and what each category is designed to do.
We work on a quote basis rather than a standard online checkout. It means you get accurate pricing, useful advice, and a team who will help you make the space work rather than just process an order.
Have a look through the range and add anything you are interested in. No payment, no commitment at this stage.
Submit your list and give us a bit of context. How many people the space needs to accommodate, the kind of feel you are going for, and any finish preferences all help us give you a sharper response.
One of our team will put together accurate pricing, lead times, and delivery costs based on what you are after.
Want to mix and match finishes, swap a chair style, or add an acoustic pod? We are happy to work through the details until everything feels right.
Once you are happy, we take care of delivery and installation across the UK.
Working this way means you get a breakout space that is genuinely thought through, not just a collection of pieces that happened to be in stock.
Nationwide delivery and installation. We deliver and install across the UK, so you do not have to organise a separate crew or figure out flat-pack assembly in a tight corner.
Real people, honest advice. No pushy sales approach. Just a team that genuinely enjoys helping businesses create spaces their people want to use.
UK manufacturing you can trust. Most of our breakout and canteen furniture is made in the UK by leading manufacturers, built to a commercial standard that holds up to the daily demands of a busy workplace.
Fast-track delivery when you need it. Stocked items ready to ship, with selected pieces available for next-day delivery across the UK. Ideal when a space needs to be ready quickly.
Help designing the whole space, not just picking pieces. Our team can advise on layouts, furniture combinations, and how to get the most from the space you have, whether that is a compact kitchen area or a full staff canteen.
A well-designed breakout area works best when it connects with the rest of the office. Take a look at our office seating range for task chairs and lounge options, or explore our meeting solutions if you are fitting out collaborative spaces at the same time.
What you get when you work with our design team:
A breakout area that works well does not happen by accident. Getting the layout, furniture mix, and acoustic treatment right for the way your team actually uses the space takes a bit of thought, and that is exactly where our design team comes in.

Canteen furniture is designed primarily for staff dining areas, with an emphasis on durability, easy cleaning, and stackability for spaces that see heavy daily use. Breakout furniture covers a broader range of informal spaces including lounge zones, quiet corners, and collaborative areas where comfort and atmosphere matter as much as practicality. In practice, many spaces use a mix of both, and our team can help you find the right balance for your layout.
Yes, and many businesses use them exactly that way. Acoustic pods are self-contained, require no building work to install, and can be moved if your layout changes. They are not a replacement for a full meeting room when you need space for a large group, but for everyday focused work, one-to-one conversations, and calls, they are a genuinely effective long-term solution.
Our fast-track stocked range includes selected canteen tables, chairs, and breakout pieces available for next-day delivery to UK addresses. Made-to-order items typically take a little longer, and we will always give you a clear lead time before you commit. If you have a deadline, let us know early and we will tell you exactly what is achievable.
Absolutely. Our design team regularly helps businesses plan breakout and canteen areas as part of wider office fit-outs or as standalone projects. We will look at the space you have, understand how your team uses it, and put together a layout with 2D floor plans and 3D renders so you can see the result before anything is ordered. Get in touch and we will take it from there.
