Designed for equal participation
The shape of a table determines how people communicate with one another. This is especially true in modern offices, where in‑person and online participants come together.
In the trapezoid-shaped version of Contact, people aren’t seated directly opposite each other. As a result, the screen remains clearly visible and all participants are in frame for the camera. This ensures that everyone – both in the room and online – can participate equally in the conversation.
