WHY
Having social relationships and connecting with your peers is a biological human need, playing a vital role in maintaining a healthy and long life. As our research showed the significance of communal meals, particularly dinner, for forming and reinforcing friendships and family relations, our focus naturally directed towards the social dynamics surrounding the dinner table. Through our analysis, we discovered that the shape of the table significantly influences the quality of communication among guests, with round tables facilitating more effortless interaction with peers compared to rectangular ones. Motivated by these findings, we set out to bridge the communication and connection gap experienced between round and rectangular tables.
