Acoustic Cabins

Acoustic pods are modular, freestanding soundproof cabins designed to create private, quiet spaces within open office environments. These acoustic isolation booths address the growing need for focused work areas by providing speech level reductions of 28.2 to 45 dB, effectively dampening ambient noise while ensuring internal conversations remain confidential.  

Unlike permanent construction, acoustic booths can be easily relocated or reconfigured as organizational needs evolve, making them ideal for dynamic workplaces requiring flexible privacy solutions.

The Chatpod series offers seven configurations to accommodate various work modes. The compact Chatpod 185 (1018mm x 935mm) serves as a telephone booth for individual calls, while the Chatpod 300 (1600mm x 1200mm) includes height-adjustable tables for focused work. The Chatpod 350 (2000mm x 935mm) features benches for two-person conversations, and the larger Chatpod 700 (2000mm x 1830mm) accommodates up to four people with whiteboard options. The Chatpod 1200 (2400mm x 2725mm) is the largest model, fitting up to six people for team meetings. All models deliver identical 28.2 dB speech level reduction tested to ISO 23351-1 standards.

Our acoustic cabins deliver measurable sound isolation performance. The Chatpod series achieves 28.2 dB speech level reduction when tested according to ISO 23351-1 standards. This performance is achieved through specialized acoustic exterior cladding and interior soundproofing materials. The In Your Room system uses advanced sandwich construction with 10mm reboard sound-blocking plates flanked by 20mm sound absorbers for maximum noise control, ensuring external distractions are effectively minimized.

Most acoustic booths install remarkably quickly compared to traditional construction. Compact models like the Chatpod 185 can be assembled in as little as 20 minutes, while larger configurations typically require about one hour with two people. The In Your Room system features pre-assembled acoustic modules that can be configured using simple tools, with installation times measured in hours rather than days. This efficiency minimizes disruption to ongoing operations and reduces project management costs for facility managers overseeing active workspaces.

Sustainability is integral to our acoustic cabin selection. The Chatpod series utilizes ARCHISONIC material composed of 100% PET with minimum 60% certified post-consumer recycled content, effectively repurposing plastic bottles. The In Your Room system incorporates aluminum frames containing 75% upcycled aluminum scrap and sound absorbers made from 50% recycled PET fibers. The Limbus Barn 300 features 100% recyclable metal framing with Möbelfakta certification. All systems are designed for disassembly to minimize waste and support circular economy principles.

Acoustic booths offer extensive customization options to complement any architectural concept. The Chatpod series features diverse color palettes, including Quiet Neutrals, Warm Naturals, Living Greens, Elemental Blues, Soothing Pastels, Elegant Darks, Energetic Brights, and Primary Play. The In Your Room system provides 8 distinct color categories, each with Muted, Accent, and Base variations. Beyond colors, pods can incorporate various materials including wood, steel, safety glass, and specialized acoustic fabrics to seamlessly integrate with existing design schemes.

Modern acoustic isolation booths incorporate sophisticated comfort systems to maintain optimal working conditions. Most models include built-in silent ventilation systems with motion sensors to prevent elevated CO2 levels and ensure fresh air circulation. LED lighting with adjustable brightness and color temperature provides optimal illumination, while standard 220V power sockets and USB ports enable device connectivity. Advanced models may include smart electronics for occupancy detection and usage analytics to optimize energy consumption.

We partner with architects from initial consultation through final installation, providing the expertise needed to integrate acoustic solutions seamlessly into design visions. Our approach includes space analysis, acoustic modeling, and material selection guidance to ensure optimal performance. We provide detailed technical specifications, CAD files, and installation documentation to support the design process. Our collaborative method ensures acoustic considerations enhance rather than constrain creative expression, with real-world case studies demonstrating successful integrations across various project types.

Acoustic cabins are designed for durability with minimal maintenance requirements. Regular cleaning of surfaces and periodic inspection of ventilation systems ensure optimal performance. Air filters typically require replacement every 3-6 months depending on usage levels and environmental conditions. The modular design allows easy access to components for maintenance or replacement. Most structural elements are designed for long-term use, with fabric panels and acoustic materials maintaining their performance characteristics over extended periods under normal office conditions.

Acoustic isolation booths directly contribute to occupant wellbeing by creating quiet spaces that reduce stress and cognitive load. The ability to escape ambient noise allows for improved concentration, leading to faster task completion and fewer errors. Privacy for confidential calls and sensitive discussions reduces workplace anxiety and supports better communication. The availability of quiet retreat spaces helps prevent acoustic fatigue and provides opportunities for mental recharging, contributing to higher job satisfaction and employee retention.

The modular nature of acoustic booths makes them highly adaptable to evolving workplace requirements. Models can be easily disassembled, relocated, and reassembled without specialized tools or extensive downtime. The In Your Room system particularly excels in adaptability, with components that can be reconfigured into different layouts or expanded as organizational needs grow. This flexibility provides significant cost advantages over permanent construction, allowing facility managers to optimize space utilization and respond to changing departmental requirements.

Acoustic cabins provide measurable return on investment through improved productivity, reduced noise complaints, and enhanced employee satisfaction. The elimination of noise-related distractions can increase focus and task completion rates while reducing stress-related absences. These solutions also support talent attraction and retention by demonstrating commitment to employee wellbeing. Compared to permanent construction, acoustic booths offer lower initial costs, faster implementation, and flexibility to adapt or relocate as business needs evolve, providing superior long-term value for facility management budgets.

Key specifications include sound reduction levels (measured in dB), interior dimensions, weight distribution, power requirements, and ventilation capacity. The Chatpod series delivers 28.2 dB speech level reduction with consistent performance across all sizes. Consider ceiling height requirements (typically 2285mm for Chatpods), floor loading capacity, and clearance needs for optimal airflow. Electrical requirements include 220V power supply for integrated lighting and ventilation systems. HVAC integration capabilities and fire safety certifications (such as B-s1, d0; Class A ratings) are essential considerations for building compliance.

Unlike traditional suppliers who simply provide products, we function as acoustic design partners throughout your project lifecycle. Our team provides space analysis, acoustic modeling, and performance predictions to ensure optimal pod selection and placement. We offer technical support during specification, coordinate with other building systems consultants, and provide installation oversight to protect design intent. This collaborative approach addresses architects' need for expert guidance while giving facility managers the confidence that solutions will perform as specified and integrate seamlessly with existing operations.
