The workstation cubicle is a semi-enclosed individual workspace defined by panel systems - vertical fabric-covered or glass panels that carve out personal work zones within an open floor plan, typically with built-in surfaces, overhead storage, and cable management integrated into the panel structure. LINRAY furniture configures cubicle systems from single-user workstations to full open-plan environments.

Inline benching workstation puts all seats in a single row facing the same direction, face-to-face positions two rows of users facing away from each other and sharing a center spine. Face-to-face is the most space-efficient commercial option and is typically used to seat 4–10 users in a cluster.

Benching workstation uses a continuous shared surface with 30cm vertical paneling, while open workstation cubicles (low-panel systems) use individual surfaces with 105cm screen heights for seated privacy. Benching desk costs less per seat and fits more people in less space, low-panel workstation cubicles systems give better acoustic separation and more individual storage options.

A benching cluster groups seats into a pod - typically 4, 6, or 8 positions arranged back-to-back or around a shared spine - creating team neighborhoods within the open office where related employees sit together while staying visually connected to the broader floor.

Plan for a minimum of 120cm of linear surface per seat at 60cm depth; a typical 4-person face-to-face workstation fits in a 240*120*75cm footprint. For a comfortable open-office work space, budget 120–140cm per seat with aisle allowance built in.

A single inline benching workstation handles 1-8 seats in most standard commercial configurations, while face-to-face clusters fit 2-16 people. Going longer is structurally possible but creates aisle blockage and complicates cable management - multiple shorter benching desks are almost always the better call for large open-plan floors. 

Commercial benching runs cables through a central spine along the bench length, with individual drops at each seat position and a surface power module providing AC outlets and USB charging - surface grommets or cable ports route individual device cables down into the spine.

Benching workstation naturally use under-desk mobile or integrated fixed pedestals (3 drawers, or 1 drawer + 1 cabinet), overhead shelves mounted to the spine, or shared storage towers at the end of each run. Storage integration is a standard part of every benching spec.

Power runs through a central raceway spine along the length of the bench, with a hard-wired feed at one end. each seat position taps off the spine through a surface power module offering 2–3 AC outlets plus USB-A and USB-C charging ports. New installations should coordinate benching power with an electrician during the build-out phase.
