Services
Modular Office Furniture
Our modular furniture systems provide adaptable solutions for dynamic workplaces. Designed to reconfigure easily as business needs evolve, these systems support both individual focus and collaborative environments. Components can be mixed and matched to create multi-functional spaces that optimise square metre usage while maintaining aesthetic coherence across office layouts.
Acoustic Office Pods
Soundproof office pods deliver private workspaces without construction delays. Available in sizes for 18 users, these modular units cater to phone calls, video conferencing, and team meetings. Features include magnetic whiteboards, device charging ports, and customisable finishes to align with brand aesthetics while improving speech privacy and reducing ambient noise.
Ergonomic Task Chairs
Designed for prolonged comfort, our task chairs incorporate adjustable lumbar support, breathable mesh materials, and intuitive ergonomics. These chairs promote active sitting postures that enhance blood circulation and reduce musculoskeletal strain, supporting employee wellbeing and productivity across eight-hour workdays in traditional office settings.
Workspace Design Consultancy
Our specialists create tailored workspace strategies combining furniture selection with spatial optimisation. Services include 3D visualisations, material sampling, and project management from concept to installation. We focus on aligning layouts with organisational workflows while ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations for both new builds and refurbishment projects.
Acoustic Screens & Panels
Upholstered acoustic dividers absorb ambient noise while creating visual privacy zones. Available as freestanding units or wall-mounted systems, these products reduce reverberation in open-plan offices through sound diffusion technology. They integrate seamlessly with existing layouts to enhance concentration without compromising aesthetic continuity across work environments.
Questions
What types of office pods do you offer?
We provide single-user phone booths, 2–4 person focus pods, and large meeting pods accommodating up to 8 people. Options include mobile units, DDA-compliant models, and customisable finishes with integrated technology for video conferencing.
Do you have showrooms for viewing furniture?
Yes, we operate showrooms in London (Clerkenwell), Manchester, and Birmingham. These spaces allow clients to experience materials, test acoustic performance, and discuss workspace requirements with our design specialists.
Can furniture be customised to our brand?
Our modular systems support customisation through fabric choices, wood finishes, and branded elements. We collaborate with clients to ensure colour schemes, materials, and spatial layouts align with corporate identity and functional requirements.
What lead times should we expect?
Stock items like the Kolo Solo Pod deliver within 7–14 days. Made-to-order products typically require 5–8 weeks depending on specification complexity and manufacturer schedules across our UK supply chain network.
Do office pods require planning permission?
As free-standing furniture, our acoustic pods generally don't require planning permission. However, we advise confirming compliance with workplace regulations regarding fire safety, ventilation, and accessibility standards during the consultation process.
How do acoustic screens improve office environments?
Our sound-absorbing panels reduce noise reverberation by up to 40%. By strategically placing freestanding screens and wall-mounted systems, we create quieter work zones that enhance concentration while maintaining open-plan office flexibility.
