Use in the office

Telephone and meeting boxes have become almost indispensable elements in modern office environments. There are several reasons for this:

• Privacy and tranquillity: Telephone and meeting boxes provide a shielded space where employees can make phone calls or hold meetings undisturbed. This is particularly important in open-plan office environments, where noise and distractions often disrupt concentration. Sound-absorbing materials ensure that noise is shielded - from the inside to the outside and vice versa.
• Increased productivity: By being able to retreat to a quiet environment, employees can work more focussed and efficiently. Studies show that distractions in the workplace can cause significant productivity losses. Phone and meeting boxes help to minimise these distractions.
• Flexibility and versatility: Telephone and meeting boxes offer flexible usage options, whether for one-to-one conversations, team meetings or as a temporary workstation. In addition, telephone and meeting boxes can be dismantled and relocated relatively easily - at least much more easily than a fixed meeting room.
• Low space requirement - efficient use of space: Telephone and meeting boxes require relatively little space compared to fixed meeting rooms, although in many cases they fulfil the same function as a fixed meeting room. Why do the space requirements vary so much? The keywords "traffic and escape routes in permanently constructed rooms" vs. "walk-in furniture" play a key role here - in other words: meeting rooms must have a certain minimum size in order to be used for work. However, there are no corresponding escape route regulations for the interior of furniture 🙂

There are many more possible uses for telephone and meeting boxes than their common name suggests. The most common applications include

• Individual meetings and telephone calls: The classic use of telephone boxes is to provide a quiet place for phone calls. This is particularly useful for employees who frequently need to make confidential or important calls.
• Meetings and discussions: Meeting boxes provide a shielded space for team meetings and discussions. They are ideal for small groups and allow participants to concentrate without distractions.
• Video conferencing: In times of increasing remote working, telephone and meeting boxes are perfect for video conferencing. They offer a quiet environment with good acoustics, which improves the quality of conversations.
• Temporary workplaces: Meeting boxes can also be used as temporary workstations, especially when employees want to work on projects undisturbed. They offer a shielded environment that promotes concentration.
• Creative retreats: Some companies use meeting boxes as creative retreats where employees can brainstorm in peace or work on creative projects. These boxes can be equipped with whiteboards, monitors and other tools.
• Relaxation rooms: In addition to being used for work and meetings, telephone and meeting boxes can also be used as places of retreat for relaxation and recreation. This can help to reduce stress and promote the well-being of employees
• Sound recordings/podcasts: In some companies, acoustic cubes are also used for recording podcasts - in many cases, this is cheaper than setting up your own podcast studio.
