Pods, Pods, Pods!

One of the latest trends in large office spaces are 'Pods' also known as Acoustic Sound Pods. These products are acoustically designed to allow office staff to have an area where they can make important phone calls, have important conversations or work on their laptops in a quiet, calm environment. The acoustic values of the Pods weaken the noise levels from within the office space providing staff with a small pod to sit in and experience a much quieter and relaxed surrounding.

Many manufacturers are producing Acoustic pods in all shapes, sizes and styles. We have manufacturers such as OrangeBox, Allermuir,  Boss Design, Frem, Max Furniture, Ocee Design and more designing and producing these products. Another manufacturer called Office Bricks have newly released some pods of their own. 

Office Bricks are a new manufacturer that we first noticed when visiting Orgatec. They have four styles of pods that they manufacturer which are the Phone Unit, Work Unit, Meeting Unit and Conference Unit, the styles are all dependent on size and how many people they can accommodate for at once. Each Pod of theirs is a modular cabin system that is quick to assemble and disassemble for client convenience. The acoustic materials that form these Office Bricks Pods are Two-Way sound insulating, meaning there is diffusion of external noise but also no members of staff from outside the pod will be able to hear internal conversations. The acoustic values of these pods also absorb external sounds of 40 to 55 dB. The pods are custom made which makes them available on request regarding size, colour, branding and fittings.

Here at Think Furniture, we have recently done a project for a large London client which involved some acoustic sound pods for telephone calls and privacy in a large office space. The Pods we used for this project were Frem Dimension Pods with the London Telephone Box graphics on the door of them. These products are proving very popular and on demand in the office furniture market. Please have a look on our website at our range of Acoustic Pods and if you have any queries concerning one of these products please give us a call on 0870 103 7777 or you can contact myself or my director, Tony on our emails - tony@think-furniture.co.uk or rhiannon@think-furniture.co.uk.
