Booths for open-plan offices: quiet where there was none.
An open office saves square meters but steals concentration: open plan office noise is the complaint teams raise first. A Silentbox booth restores the balance — a call is inaudible one meter away, the office buzz stays outside, and your floor plan doesn't change by a centimeter.

Open plan office noise: why the room needs an acoustic booth
The core flaw of the open office is constant speech noise: a salesperson is closing a client, a daily stand-up runs next to them, and two desks away someone is interviewing a candidate. Research keeps confirming the same thing: other people's conversations are the number one focus killer. An acoustic booth gives each of those scenarios its own quiet room — without walls or re-planning.
A booth is modular furniture, not construction. It arrives, gets assembled from 2 hours with no dust or permits, plugs into a standard 220V outlet — and your open space gains a meeting room that moves with you when the office does. That's how the offices of the UN, PwC, Uklon, Megogo, Bolt and Genesis work.
What a booth gives an open office
35 dB insulation
The Premium series is certified to ISO 11957, Class A: a conversation inside is inaudible one meter away. The Lite series at 25 dB dampens speech noise for quick calls.
Ventilation you can't hear
250–600 m³ of air per hour at under 30 dB of noise — a complete exchange every 2–3 minutes. A presence sensor switches the system on automatically.
Light for work and video
450 lux LED at 3500–4500 K — easy on the eyes through an hour of focused work, and your face stays well lit on video calls.
220V + USB at hand
A 220V outlet, USB-A and USB Type-C as standard. Laptop, phone and headset work without hunting for adapters.
No renovation, no approvals
Installation takes from 2 hours with no drilling and no construction dust. It's furniture: no landlord permits, and the open space never stops working, not even for a day.
10/5/3 warranty
10 years on the frame, 5 on electronics, 3 on moving parts. Production in 3–6 weeks, delivery across Europe in 10–25 days.
One day in the life of a booth in open space
A sales call
The manager closes the deal at full voice, not in a whisper. One meter from the booth the conversation is inaudible — the client doesn't hear the office, and the office doesn't hear the deal terms.
A 1-on-1 with a manager
Salary talk or tough feedback is not a kitchen conversation. The booth delivers meeting-room privacy without booking a room for half a day.
A focus sprint
Two hours of deep work on code, copy or a financial model. Class A sound-absorbing panels remove the hum; the ventilation keeps your head fresh.
A candidate interview
A video interview with no curious ears and no strangers in the frame. 450 lux lighting and clean audio make the right first impression of the company.
Silentbox booths for the open-plan office
From a one-person phone booth to a four-seat meeting pod — every model ships with ventilation, LED lighting and a 220V outlet.
Frequently asked questions about booths for open space
How many booths does an open space need?
A practical rule of thumb: one booth per 10–15 people if the team is call-heavy, one per 20–25 for quieter workflows. Start with one or two — the first month's utilisation will show the real demand. Orders of 5+ booths qualify for package terms.
Will the office really not hear a conversation from the booth?
Yes — for the Premium series it's a measured standard: 35 dB of insulation to ISO 11957, Class A, so a normal conversation is inaudible just one meter away. The Lite series delivers 25 dB: words can't be made out and the volume is dampened, which is enough for quick calls.
Do we need landlord approval to install one?
No. The booth is modular furniture: no fixing to the floor or ceiling, no drilling, no dust. All you need is a level floor and a 220V outlet nearby. It assembles using clear step-by-step instructions in from 2 hours without stopping the office; installation by the Silentbox team is also available.
Won't the booth become a stuffy aquarium?
No. The ventilation moves 250–600 m³ of air per hour — a complete exchange every 2–3 minutes — at under 30 dB of noise. A presence sensor switches it on automatically, so you just walk in, no buttons.
What happens to the booths when the office moves?
They move with you. The structure disassembles and reassembles with no loss of acoustic performance — which is exactly why companies choose booths over built meeting rooms that stay behind with the landlord.
