Types of Acoustic Seating and Their Typical Uses
Acoustic Focus & Work Chairs
Single-user, high-back acoustic chairs provide a dedicated private space for individuals needing to concentrate in busy environments. Their distinctive design signals to others that the occupant prefers not to be disturbed, effectively reducing visual and auditory interruptions. These chairs often incorporate a small work surface—suitable for a laptop or writing—and can include integrated USB charging points for modern convenience.
Acoustic Sofas
High-back acoustic office sofas typically accommodate two to four users, with larger configurations made possible through modular designs. These sound-absorbing sofas are well-suited for breakout areas and waiting rooms, offering a comfortable, secluded environment for small meetings or quiet contemplation. Modular acoustic seating also includes curved sections, allowing for adaptable layouts, the creation of secluded zones, or more imaginative spatial arrangements. Power outlets, side tables, and coffee tables can be integrated into these designs.
Sofa Booths & Pods
Acoustic sofa booths, inspired by classic American diner banquette seating, feature two high-back sofas facing each other, usually linked by a central end wall. These booths enclose users to provide enhanced privacy for small groups to meet, collaborate on projects, or socialise with colleagues. For a fully functional meeting space, the connecting wall can be equipped with a meeting table, a TV or monitor bracket, and integrated charging modules.
The Difference Between Acoustic Seating and Office Booth Seating
Acoustic Seating
Single focus chairs, high-back sofas and sofa booths create quiet, semi-private corners for focus work, calls and small conversations. A hooded chair shields one person, while sofas and booths seat two to four. They are open-fronted without a full roof, so they are lighter, simpler to install and easy to reposition as the office changes.
Best for one to four people in open-plan space, breakout areas and reception.
Office Booth Seating
Roofed huddle dens add acoustically treated roofs and walls, built-in seating, a meeting table and integrated lighting. They work as a flexible room-within-a-room, without building a meeting room.
Best for teams of 2 to 6+ who need somewhere to meet and present.
