There is no way a person could sit on the chair at the short end of the table, as the chair legs are not designed to sit on the table legs like that. It's strange that it has even been suggested by some of the photos - basically highlighting this system's shortcomings. In fact, the design and size of the table legs inhibit most seating positions apart from around the centre of the long sides of the table. Even if multiple tables were put in a row abutting each other, only the central section could form proper useable desk space. If these desks were put perpendicular to one another, again there would be problems in achieving the most amount of useable desk space accessible to the chairs. This system, whilst aesthetically pleasing, does not seem at all appropriate for a design school, and I would even doubt their effectiveness in an office environment.
