The Oct Table is a simple, versatile cardboard table designed for events where people gather, pause, and interact.
It comes in two common heights, a 105cm standing table and a 68cm seated or casual table, both with a 55.5cm diameter top. Same design, just suited to different moments within a space.
You’ll see these used across trade shows, exhibitions, brand activations, and pop ups where you need functional surfaces that feel considered and on-brand. They can sit quietly in the background or become part of the visual identity of the space depending on how you finish them.
How It Works
The table is made from interlocking cardboard components that slot together to form a stable structure.
Structure and assembly
- Flat-packed for transport
- Internal vertical supports distribute weight evenly
- Designed for stability on typical event flooring
Once assembled, the structure locks into place and holds firm. It’s lightweight enough to move around during install, but solid enough to feel reliable in use.
Size and use
-
105cm high
Ideal for standing, networking, drinks, and quick conversations
-
68cm high
Better suited to seated areas, workshops, or more relaxed spaces
Because both versions share the same footprint and design language, they work well together across a single event layout.
Customisation and Branding
This is where the Oct Table shifts from functional to part of the experience.
- Full printed wraps on the sides
- Branded tabletop graphics
- Solid colour finishes
- Raw cardboard for a more natural look
You can keep it minimal or use it as a branded touchpoint throughout the space.
Sustainability
The Oct Table is built from recyclable cardboard and designed with real event conditions in mind.
Material and lifecycle
- Made from responsibly sourced cardboard
- Fully recyclable at end of life
- Designed for reuse where possible
Practical impact
- Flat-pack design reduces transport volume
- Lightweight materials make handling easier onsite
- Lower material weight compared to traditional event furniture
For teams trying to reduce waste or meet sustainability goals, pieces like this are an easy place to start. They perform well during the event and don’t leave you with heavy, hard-to-dispose materials afterwards.
There’s also a broader shift happening across events and exhibitions, where businesses are expected to consider their environmental and social impact more carefully. Many are moving toward more transparent and responsible ways of operating as part of a more regenerative economy . Using reusable cardboard event structures is one practical way to support that shift.
Ideal Applications
The Oct Table fits into a wide range of environments, especially where flexibility matters.
- Trade show booths and exhibition stands
- Brand activations and product launches
- Networking events and cocktail functions
- Retail pop ups and in-store activations
- Workshop and breakout spaces
- Theatre sets and creative installations
- Gallery and exhibition environments
- Photo moments or styled zones
They’re often used in multiples to create consistent zones across a space.
FAQs

Can we print our branding on it?
Yes. Full wraps, partial graphics, or subtle branding can all be applied depending on how you want it to look.
Can it be shipped interstate?
Yes. The flat-pack format makes freight straightforward and cost-effective compared to bulkier alternatives.
How long does production take?
Lead times depend on quantity and customisation, but generally sit within a couple of weeks. Tighter timelines can often be accommodated if planned early.
