How does the Landscape Round Table accommodate different body types and sizes for inclusive design?

The Landscape Round Table redefines inclusive furniture design through a human-centered approach that consciously accommodates diverse physiques. Unlike static tables, its modular architecture allows for seamless reconfiguration—sections can be added, removed, or angled to create varying perimeters. This flexibility provides ample space for larger individuals while avoiding a cavernous feel for smaller users, ensuring no one feels marginalized.

Central to its design is the integration of adaptive seating zones rather than fixed chairs. These zones support a spectrum of postures and movements, featuring varied seat depths, open armrest options, and back support that adjusts in height and lumbar positioning. The table’s surface itself incorporates multiple height-adjustable segments, enabling users to tailor their immediate workspace ergonomically, whether seated standard, seated tall, or standing.

The design team employed universal design principles, moving beyond average anthropometric data to engage with a wide spectrum of users during prototyping. Materials and structures are chosen for both durability and perceptual comfort—edges are softened, and supports are visually lightweight to avoid a bulky imposition. The result is a sociospatial tool that doesn't merely fit different bodies but actively welcomes them, fostering equitable interaction by making ergonomic personalization an intuitive, shared experience.
