Abstract:

A reconfigurable conference table includes an annulus shaped worksurface having radially spaced inner and outer peripheral edges. The inner peripheral edge defines a center opening having a center axis. The worksurface is moveable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. The worksurface may include at least three sectors supported by and moveable relative to circumferentially spaced support nodes radially spaced from the center axis. At least two of the support nodes are moveable toward and away from the center axis. First and second monitors, facing inwardly toward the center opening, may be positioned above and below the worksurface. Methods of assembling and reconfiguring the conference table are also provided.
