ABSTRACT:
A workstation has a work surface with a front edge which a user faces in a front facing position at the workstation. A first inner side edge extends from one end of the front edge at a first angle to the front edge and on one side of the front facing position, and a second inner side edge extends from an opposite end of the front edge, at a second angle and on an opposite side of the front facing position. First and second outer bounding edges, have first ends connected to each other at an angle of about 70-110 degrees, each of the first and second outer edges having opposite second ends. A first outer side edge is connected between the second end of the first outer bounding edge and the first inner side edge and a second outer side edge is connected between the second end of the second outer bounding edge and the second inner side edge. The first and second angles each are between about 100 and 115 degrees so that the front edge and the first and second inner side edges embrace the facing position without constricting movement of a user in the facing position. The first inner side and outer side edges are connected to each other at a curved corner and, with at least a portion of the first outer bounding edge, define a conference area at which the user in the facing position and another individual spaced from the user can work at the same time.
