Office Chair Spacing

The spacing between office chairs should be determined based on specific scenarios and requirements, with standards varying under different layouts as follows:

I. Horizontal Spacing (Side-by-Side Workstations)

1. Multiple Side-by-Side Workstations: It is recommended that the horizontal net spacing between adjacent employees be no less than 70 cm, with over 75 cm reserved for dense workstations such as customer service and operations to ensure sufficient operating space and avoid interference.
2. Single Adjacent Workstations: The horizontal spacing between desks and chairs can be reserved at 60 cm - 80 cm, balancing flexibility and space utilization.

II. Vertical Spacing (Face-to-Face or Front-to-Back Workstations)

1. Face-to-Face Arrangement Workstations: The net distance between two desks should be no less than 110 cm to ensure that employees can stand up, pass through, or communicate without colliding.
2. Front-to-Back Workstations: The spacing should be maintained at 100 cm - 120 cm to ensure legroom for employees in the back row and facilitate file access.
3. Back-to-Back Partitioned Workstations: After isolation by a central partition, a space of over 80 cm should be reserved on each side for chair retraction to avoid conflicts between the chair back and the partition.

III. Spacing in Special Areas of Single Workstations

1. Behind the Seat: It is recommended to reserve a net clearance of over 80 cm to prevent interference between the chair back and walls, cabinets, or aisles, while also meeting safety distances when standing up.
2. Main Office Aisles: The width should be no less than 120 cm to ensure unobstructed passage for multiple people walking side by side or pushing carts.

IV. Spacing in Private Offices

The spacing between the desk and walls or cabinets should be reserved at over 50 cm to allow for file cabinet opening, equipment wiring, and personnel movement.

Summary: The design of office chair spacing should balance ergonomic needs with space efficiency. In dense scenarios, spacing can be appropriately compressed, but not at the expense of operating comfort. Open office areas should prioritize ensuring passage and activity space, while private offices should balance functionality and privacy. Reasonable planning of spacing can enhance work efficiency and reduce safety hazards.
