As part of its award-winning C9 furniture system, Watson is introducing Meeting Tables that are adaptable enough to suit conference rooms of all sizes. As Lucas Pearl, VP of Product Development at Watson, says: "Overall, they will make it easier to collaborate at a distance in the new normal workplace." The sleek and modern C9 Meeting Tables are designed to bring teams together with a solution that neatly conceals wires, supports monitors and expansions, as 96" long sections can be added as needed.
