Grape COZY 1M2
Grape COZY improves life not by function but by an extraordinary choice of materials.
The openplan office space – where everyone can listen in on conversations – affect both productivity and well-being* making it necessary for businesses with openplan offices to be at the forefront of research into solving acoustic challenges. One solution could very well be acquiring the Grape Cozy 1M2.
*More than 50 % of people working in open plan offices have a hard time concentrating says study performed by Sidney University and according to BBC Capital you’re likely to be 15 % less productive.
Its sides and top are made from 100 mm thick natural cork with an acoustic Rw value of 42 – the equivalent of isolated drywall. And its glass reduces sound to 38 db, resulting in a combined effect of a more than adequate soundproofing feature. Also, cork absorbs sound allowing for at not only perfectly balanced sound inside the booth, but also on the outside, to the benefit of the coworkers surrounding the booth.
