9 APRES CLIENT PROJECTS RAISING THE BAR BRINGING BACK THE BOOTH (AND THE POD). Gone are the days where you can stealthily sneak into an empty office or cubicle to use company Wi-Fi to catch up on the last few episodes of Game of Thrones... There just simply aren’t enough empty meeting spaces anymore. It has in fact got so bad that 78% of office workers claim it’s nigh impossible to find an impromptu meeting space these days. Luckily the Spacio Office Phone Booth and Spacio Office Meeting Pods have been developed to solve these exact office space problems. Designed specifically to provide workers with a space where they are isolated from the rest of the open plan office - whether it is for a Skype interview, an important conference call or just an extra quiet place where accountants can try to do the company books - the Spacio Office Phone Booth and pods employ double glazed glass and state of the 9 SPORT art acoustic materials to make sure outside noise stays out and what’s being said on the inside remains confidential.

Clever PIR sensors switch on the lighting and fans automatically (keeping cool is after all very important) when entering the booth, which can be fitted with furniture and customised to fit in with your office environment. Both the frame and acoustic upholstery can be tailored in terms of colour, and for bigger orders a bespoke RAL palette can be ordered. money: The booth’s superior acoustic qualities means you can have two or three booths in a row, sharing side panels and bringing down the unit costs, without compromising on privacy or noise pollution. Recently Après took a trip over the pond and installed some booths and pods in the telecom behemoth AT&T’s Dallas office. We worked closely with some of their team members to develop a tailor-made meeting pod system that caters to all their needs. They now, after trying out the Office Phone Booth, claim super-human strength and speeds faster than a speeding bullet… The system is demountable and can easily be reconfigured. The Spacio Office Phone Booth’s ability to link up with other Spacios also saves you Adam and Din: an addendum Last month, with tongue resolutely in cheek, we highlighted some mish 2F
