At a NeoCon event, the company ROOM presented a fascinating private office space with an open office concept. The new product in the office furniture industry is called “ROOM One”. Functional design combined with sustainability is what makes the work cabin what it is. It's a private workspace that balances an elegant design and an eco-friendly privacy solution.
Private workspace with sustainable design for open office spaces
The soundproof cabin is made from recycled plastic bottles. ROOM One can be found on the market for half the price of similar work cubicles. The private space for working combines functionality andsustainable designwith the goal of improving the world of work on a large scale and solving the annoying noise problem for millions of Americans who work in open-plan offices every day.
Although open-plan offices offer a creative environment, studies have shown that they affect both employees' productivity and their health. Nearly 50% of employees in open-concept offices rank lack of privacy as a top cause of frustration. In contrast to people who work in closed offices, employees in open-plan offices are more likely to take sick leave.
Modern private workplace tailored to the needs of employees
The cubicle uses a simple, intelligent design to ensure privacy in the open plan office, ensuring a happier and healthier work environment. This modular and flexible workspace was designed by Alejandra Albarrán, an award-winning interior designer and creative director from Mexico. The work cabin can be assembled on site in just 40 minutes, saving companies a lot of time and resources on complex and expensive construction projects. The workplace represents an environmentally friendly and affordable way to have amodern workplaceto create a solution that is tailored to employees' needs for privacy and collaboration.
ROOM One creates the perfect working atmosphere. Even if the office space has a special design, the cubicle can easily be adapted to it. This custom creation can reflect the company-specific concepts. The work cubicle is expertly designed to protect private conversations while providing soundproofing, reducing noise by a whopping 29 decibels.
The ecological aspect of this project should not be underestimated. One million plastic bottles end up in landfills every minute. Using recycled plastic bottles to make soundproof booths also reduces CO2 emissions.
ROOM One is portable and can be transported from place to place. The cabin therefore does not represent an obstacle for the upcoming move. Each modular workplace is equipped with a special ventilation system so that the air in the cabin remains fresh and cool at all times.
Noise in the workplace was the real driving force for development. The designers sourced recycled materials and collaborated with expert acoustic experts to ultimately create an accessible solution for modern office spaces that provide more space for happy employees and successful businesses.
