Bench desks seat a team in one shared run, using fewer legs and less floor space than the same number of separate desks. The three ranges here, Oslo, Impulse and Evolve Plus, all come from UK manufacturer Dynamic Office Solutions in single row and back-to-back layouts. Starter desks begin a run and extension kits add positions, so a bench can grow with the team.
How to choose a bench layout
Sketch the room before you count desks.
- Single row benches sit along a wall or window, while back-to-back (B2B) benches face pairs across a central spine and use the middle of the floor.
- Impulse and Evolve Plus benches are listed for 2, 3, 4 and 6 people, so combine a starter and extension kits to reach your headcount.
- Buy the extension kit for the same range, because Oslo, Impulse and Evolve Plus kits are each made for their own frame.
- Plan power at the same time, since Volta under-desk modules and the Evolve and Impulse middle leg cable infill are made for these ranges.
- Leave room for screens between facing positions if you want some privacy, and allow for pedestals under or beside each desk.
For growing teams, fit-out projects and refurbishments
Procurement teams furnishing an open plan floor buy benches by the run and request a project quote for desks, power and screens together. Designers and fit-out contractors can specify one range across a floor and add extension kits as the client's headcount changes. Home workers rarely need a bench, but a two person Impulse single row works well for a shared home study.
Every bench is delivered to the UK mainland direct from the manufacturer, and a floor's worth can be priced in one go through trade and quotes. For tidy cable runs along the length of a bench, look at our cable management range.
