This is from a promotional brochure for dental furniture.

"Découvrez nos gammes de meubles et nos solutions d'agencement global pour cabinet dentaire:"
-Cabinet
-Bureau
-Salle de stérilisation
-Banque d'accueil

I'm not sure what they mean by "agencement" in this context.
Thanks!

agree  Michelle De Saintfuscien: Yes, I think this is the sense of the original. I have a slight preference for complete fitting-out.
