Our Hushoffice pods are modular quiet spaces with a range of sizes, from a phone booth to an entire meeting room. They help block outside sound and offer a comfortable, climate-controlled environment for private conversations or focus work.
People seek out quiet spaces for various reasons: to concentrate on important work, to hold virtual meetings with remote coworkers, or to escape busy areas for a brief reset. Comfortable, acoustically balanced rooms provide opportunities for restoration in the workplace.
Designing an acoustically balanced office space requires attention to detail: from large acoustic wall panels to soft chairs and couches that help absorb sound. We offer comfortable furniture products that contribute to reducing ambient noise.
