Common Table is an imagined gathering place created for this Brightly Useful design study. It is not a real venue or a client project.
Give the gathering a shape
Name the gathering, choose a guest count and seating idea, then set the time. The brief leaves names unassigned for you to agree together.
The seating counts and illustration do not establish venue capacity, fire safety or accessibility. Confirm the room and arrangements with the actual venue.
