Breakout area design should include different types of seating, including tables and chairs for meetings or having lunch, as well as soft furnishings like bean bag chairs or sofas for relaxing. Office breakout areas may be separate rooms, or a part of an open-plan office layout. Lighting can help separate the breakout area from other workspaces, with more relaxed, softer light in the casual portion or brighter, cooler light in the parts used for focused office work or brainstorming meetings. Breakout areas should be accessible and easily adaptable, so efficient, user-friendly lighting controls are an excellent way to tailor them to arising needs.
