The Growing Problem of Open-Office Acoustics
Modern open-plan offices face a critical challenge: 64% of employees report productivity loss due to noise pollution (Gensler, 2022). Traditional solutions like cubicles fail to address dynamic collaboration needs. Enter the office booth – a modular acoustic pod designed for focused work and confidential calls.
