Frequently Asked Questions

Breakout furniture is informal commercial furniture designed for relaxed, collaborative or flexible areas within a workplace. It can include lounges, sofas, armchairs, ottomans, modular seating, occasional tables, café chairs and high tables. These pieces help create comfortable spaces where employees can take breaks, hold informal meetings, work away from their desks or collaborate with colleagues.

Yes. Breakout and chillout furniture can be incorporated into a complete office fitout alongside workstations, meeting furniture, storage, acoustic solutions and reception furniture. A fitout provider can assist with space planning, furniture selection, layouts, coordinated delivery and installation to ensure the breakout area works effectively with the rest of the workplace

Look for commercial-grade construction, durable upholstery, appropriate dimensions, comfortable support, strong warranties and furniture suited to the expected level of daily use. Also consider how easily the furniture can be cleaned, whether modular pieces can be reconfigured, available fabric and colour options, acoustic requirements, and whether delivery and professional installation are available.

There is no single Australian Standard that applies to every type of breakout seat, and Australian Standards are generally voluntary unless referenced by legislation, regulations or project requirements. For commercial projects, check the specifications and certifications relevant to the individual product, along with workplace, accessibility, fire-safety and procurement requirements. Products with recognised commercial testing or certification can provide additional assurance regarding durability and performance.

Choose heavy-commercial upholstery fabrics designed to withstand frequent daily use, particularly in busy offices, education facilities, waiting areas and shared workplaces. Look for strong abrasion ratings, stain resistance, colourfastness and easy-clean properties, with moisture barriers or antimicrobial treatments where appropriate. As a useful guide, some commercial upholstery ranges classify fabrics achieving 40,000+ Martindale rubs as heavy commercial, although suitability should always be checked against the manufacturer's intended-use rating.
