Aguada De Cima, Portugal
Guialmi Design Team has launched the ZoneOut—a new collection of phone booths and meeting pods.
The project has been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies for its creativity.
Why has this type of product become of critical importance for contemporary workspaces?
Because open plan working and collaborative co-working environments have lots of positive points: sharing knowledge, experiences, increased communication, and discussion with positive results of creativity.
However, these environments can have a problem, noise, which makes concentration and task-based activities such as thinking, writing, calculating, and making phone calls very difficult.
Hosting informal meetings is hard without impacting colleagues in the workspace. The response is here: Zone Out.
A phone booth, a meeting pod for 2, and another that can be perfect for 2 or even 4 people complete the Zone Out range.
Acoustic elements have been considered along with carefully selected materials and finishes.
Ventilation and lighting are sensor activated with high-end specifications.
The product is 100% manufactured in Portugal.
This phone booth and pod collection are 100% made with MDF and veneer sheets that are under the FSC certification.
Materials selected for these units proceed from sources developed for this use and purpose and the lifecycle runs out it is 100% recyclable.
