The Agile Office supplies, delivers and installs 120 degree workstations for offices across Melbourne and Geelong. A 120 degree workstation — sometimes called a three-person cluster or Y-desk — seats three people around a shared central point instead of in a straight run, which lifts seating density without shrinking each person’s usable desk. Request a free layout check on 03 9088 8040 and The Agile Office will tell you how many workstations fit your floor plate before you buy anything.

What a 120 degree workstation actually is
A 120 degree workstation puts three desks around one shared centre, each rotated 120 degrees from the next. The result is a hexagonal or Y-shaped footprint rather than the rectangular footprint of a back-to-back bench.
The practical difference is corner space. In a straight bench run, the desk you get is a rectangle. In a 120 degree cluster, each user gets a wider working front and a natural return without needing a separate corner unit. People aren’t sitting directly opposite each other, which most staff find noticeably less confronting than facing someone across a 700mm bench all day.
120 degree workstation dimensions
Dimensions are the question we’re asked most, because a 120 degree cluster does not scale the way a bench does. A rough planning guide for the Deluxe Infinity range:
- Per-user desk top: commonly 1500mm × 750mm or 1800mm × 750mm
- Cluster footprint: roughly a 2.4m–2.9m circle depending on top size
- Circulation allowance: allow a further 900mm–1000mm behind each chair
- Practical planning square: budget around 4m × 4m per cluster including circulation
That last number is the one that matters when you are deciding between clusters and benches. A 120 degree cluster is not automatically denser than a bench — it is denser per usable desk area, but it wastes more of the room if your floor plate is long and narrow. Clusters work best in squarer rooms and open floors with columns to design around.
Rather than guess, send us your floor plan. The Agile Office runs a free 3D layout and will show you the cluster count against a bench count for the same room.
120 degree cluster vs back-to-back bench
| 120 degree cluster | Back-to-back bench | |
|---|---|---|
| Seats per module | 3 | 2, 4, 6, 8+ |
| Best floor shape | Square, open | Long, narrow |
| Usable desk per person | Wider front, natural return | Rectangular only |
| Face-to-face seating | No | Yes |
| Scales in increments of | 3 | 2 |
| Screen/divider requirement | Central hub screens | Full-length spine screens |
| Cost per seat | Higher | Lower |
Honest summary: benches are cheaper per seat and easier to plan. Clusters are the better call when headcount comes in multiples of three, when the room is squarish, or when you want the floor to look less like a call centre. If you’re fitting out a long narrow tenancy, we’ll usually recommend a bench and say so.
What we usually find when we walk an office
Two things come up repeatedly on Melbourne site visits.
The first is that people specify clusters from a render, then discover the room has a structural column exactly where the third desk goes. Clusters are far less forgiving of columns than benches, because you can’t just shorten one run.
The second is power. A 120 degree cluster feeds three users from one central point, so the cable path is genuinely tidier than a bench — but only if the floor box or ceiling drop lands near that centre. If the only power is on the perimeter wall, you will be running a floor snake across a walkway. Worth checking before the desks arrive, not after.
Options and finishes
The Deluxe Infinity 120 degree workstation is available with three leg styles — Eternity, Profile and Loop — and the same desk top range used across our office desks. Eternity and Profile legs are priced from $1,819.00 per 3-user cluster; the Loop leg is $2,080.80. Each cluster is backed by a 5 year warranty.
Most clusters are specified with a central three-way screen for acoustic and visual separation. We cover those on our partitions and acoustic panels range. If you also need height adjustability, the electric height adjustable desks range is a straight-desk alternative worth comparing.
Buy or hire
Not every project should own its furniture. If you are in a short lease, running a project team, or fitting out a site office, 120 degree clusters are available through office furniture hire on short or long term. If you’re weighing it up, our hire vs buy comparison lays out the numbers.
Melbourne and Geelong delivery and installation
The Agile Office is based in Grovedale and services Melbourne and Geelong. Stocked clusters run a 1–2 week lead time; custom configurations and finishes run 8–10 weeks, so build that into your move date rather than your order date.
Clusters are delivered flat-packed and assembled on site — a 120 degree workstation is not a sensible self-assembly job, since the three crossbars must be squared before the tops go on or the cluster will rock. Delivery and installation are quoted separately from the furniture, based on site access and volume.
If the workstations are part of a larger project, they can be scoped into a full office fitout or a furniture-only package through office furniture for fitouts.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 120 degree workstation?
Each user typically gets a 1500mm × 750mm or 1800mm × 750mm desk top. A complete 3-user cluster occupies roughly a 2.4m to 2.9m circle depending on top size. For planning purposes, allow around 4m × 4m per cluster once circulation space behind each chair is included.
How many people does a 120 degree workstation seat?
Three. That is the defining feature — the desks sit at 120 degrees to each other around a shared centre point, so each cluster seats exactly three people. Headcount scales in multiples of three.
Is a 120 degree workstation more space efficient than a bench desk?
Not always. A 120 degree cluster gives each person more usable desk area for the footprint, but it needs a squarer room. In long narrow tenancies a back-to-back bench will usually fit more people. The Agile Office will run both options over your floor plan before you commit.
How much does a 120 degree workstation cost in Melbourne?
Deluxe Infinity 120 degree workstations start from $1,819.00 for a 3-user cluster with Eternity or Profile legs, or $2,080.80 with Loop legs. Final pricing depends on desk top size, screens and finish. Delivery and installation are quoted separately. Call 03 9088 8040 or request a quote for a firm figure.
What is the lead time on 120 degree workstations?
Stocked configurations are typically 1–2 weeks. Custom sizes, finishes or upholstery run 8–10 weeks. If you are working to a lease start or move date, order against that date rather than the delivery date.
Is delivery and installation included in the price?
No. Delivery and installation are quoted separately from the furniture price, based on site access, floor level and the number of clusters. The Agile Office assembles 120 degree workstations on site as standard, as they are not a practical self-assembly item.
Can 120 degree workstations be hired rather than purchased?
Yes. The Agile Office hires 120 degree workstations on short and long term across Melbourne and Geelong, which suits project teams, short leases and temporary site offices.
Do 120 degree workstations come with a warranty?
Yes — the Deluxe Infinity 120 degree workstation range carries a 5 year warranty.
