Open office landscapes offer flexibility and collaboration, but often reach their limits: noise, distractions and a lack of privacy reduce productivity. Many employees struggle with concentration problems, especially during phone calls or focused work. Office booths – compact, insulated booths – are the ideal answer. They create quiet zones in dynamic offices and fit perfectly with hybrid working models.
Office booths are free-standing, modular units specially developed for individual or small-group work. Unlike traditional conference rooms, which are large and permanently installed, booths feature plug-and-play integration, allowing them to be deployed anywhere with a standard power source. They offer a secluded environment for 1 to 4 people.
Typical use cases include focused one-on-one work, confidential phone calls, or short brainstorming sessions. This allows employees to quickly "dive in" without disrupting the entire office flow.
Office Phone Booths: Optimized for 1 person, ideal for calls. Often with a standing desk and good acoustics. Persy Booths offers an excellent opportunity for this.
Focus Booths: Individual booths for concentrated work, with seating and enough space for laptop and notes.
Meeting booths: For 2-4 people, with table and sockets for team discussions.
In open offices, work booths reduce noise and create privacy. Modern units often feature a high NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient), ensuring that sound is absorbed rather than reflected, which is essential for hybrid teams. Employees who mix remote and on-site work need these flexible, acoustically treated spaces for sensitive tasks.
Less interference increases efficiency: Studies show that noise can reduce concentration by up to 66%. Booths provide mental recovery, reduce stress and improve well-being. In the end, the entire team benefits from higher motivation and a better work-life balance in the office.
Office booths are space-saving: one booth replaces several fixed rooms and fits into corners or corridors. Compared to conversions, they are cost-effective – often 80% cheaper to purchase and install. Their mobility allows them to be relocated if necessary.
High-quality models offer sound insulation of up to 45 dB, comparable to the quiet of a library. Advanced units now include IoT-enabled occupancy sensors, which provide real-time data on usage patterns and help facility managers optimize office floor plans. Integrated ventilation provides fresh air, while LED lighting ensures a comfortable visual environment.
Office booths seamlessly complement open layouts without dominating the space. Many models in wood, glass or fabric match aesthetically with brand colours and have a modern, minimalist look. Strategic placement – e.g. along walls or in atriums – maximises the flow and creates "oases of calm".
Consider the office size and number of employees: 4-6 booths are sufficient for 50 colleagues. Analyze usage frequency through observation or surveys. The budget includes not only purchase price (from €3,000 per unit), but also maintenance and scalability for future needs.
With the boom in hybrid work, demand is increasing: by 2030, 70% of offices are expected to integrate booths. Trends are moving towards sustainable materials (recycled wood, energy-efficient ventilation) and modular designs that are expandable. They are becoming the standard in flexible workspaces.
Office booths solve noise problems, boost productivity and fit modern needs – space-saving, cost-efficient and employee-centric. For HR, designers and managers, they are a long-term investment in happy teams and efficient offices. Implement them now to stay ahead of the competition.
