The highly durable acoustic room belongs to this year’s new SPARK FAMILY product line. This “quiet zone” can work in demanding production and logistics areas, healthcare facilities, and traditional office environments.

Research shows that appropriate acoustics in the office play an essential role in employee performance. It is worth addressing at the design stage, but there are also measures that can be implemented in existing spaces. “Investments in good acoustics pay off even in the most demanding cases within about half a year,” says Jaroslav Vendl, head of SilentLab, in an interview.

I’m sure you know this feeling. You walk into a room and it feels like home. Everything is just fine-tuned to the last detail and fits together. It happens to us in restaurants, galleries, theaters, but rarely in offices. What is it? Can environmental aesthetics increase productivity?

The fast-growing Contentful GmbH is one of the most respected software companies in
Germany, yet it still retains the spirit of a startup as it helps businesses build unique digital
experiences. Their intention was to create a new standard for dynamic work environments
while preserving the energy of a successful startup, expanding the workspace and bringing
life and light into the office. The entire concept was taken on by designers from the toi toi
toi creative studio, who implemented their inclusive design approach into an incredible
five-storey newly constructed building in Berlin with a vision to combine modern open
space with sustainable materials and vintage elements.

FTMO, a Czech foreign exchange trading platform, recently won the Deloitte Technology Fast 500TM for fastest growing young company in Central Europe. As a result of its rapid growth, FTMO had outgrown its previous office in a very short time. FTMO felt not only the need for a bigger space, but their existing office no longer represented its innovative and progressive identity. FTMO found their new home in the upper floors of Quadrio building with a panorama view of the Prague city center and its National Theatre.

Prague, 3 May 2022

The Czech company SilentLab won a prestigious prize at the international IF Design Awards 2022. The domestic manufacturer of acoustic design won in the Product Design category with its MICROOFFICE® UNIQ product. The IF Design Awards competition is one of the oldest awards for design which has been drawing attention to interesting design advances since 1954. Thanks to this award, MICROOFFICE® UNIQ achieved a global first in the field, which is a great international success for Czech design.

Time is running out and preparations for the first of this year’s planned trade fairs are reaching their peak. We are looking forward to seeing you in person at Trends & Traditions in Copenhagen. Come and experience the comfort of our MICROOFFICE® acoustic meeting booths in person at stand number HV1500. We will have a MICROOFFICE® PRIME and QUADRIO there for you to try.

You know what it’s like. You walk into a room and you don’t know why, but it feels like home. Everything just fits together. This happens often in restaurants, art galleries and theaters, but rarely in office spaces. Why is that? Can aesthetics actually improve work efficiency?

Productive work environments have become a hot topic in recent years, yet it is far from a straightforward discipline. Every office is made up of a multitude of components that hit each of us slightly differently. These details mean nothing in themselves; what matters is the impression the space leaves on us as a whole. What’s the best place to start?

The tests that showed the exceptional qualities of our MICROOFFICE® were carried out according to the new ISO 23351-1:2020, now used for all soundproofed spaces in the world. The results speak quite clearly: you will not find a mini office with better acoustics on the market. After the award-winning design, top-notch ventilation and excellent lighting, this makes just one more reason the MICROOFFICE® is worth the investment.

Noise is one of the most common sources of discomfort in offices, with 70% of employees expressing dissatisfaction. High noise levels decrease productivity by an average of 6%, increasing stress and employee sickness along with it. Despite these findings, architects and designers still often think of noise as a minor nuisance. Will the “New Normal” change that?

Avast, a global leader in digital security and privacy, is opening its remodeled offices in Prague. The offices have been closed since March 2020 as a measure against the growing pandemic of COVID-19. The company has used that time to adapt the space to better suit the new hybrid working model introduced in January this year. The aim of the seven-month redevelopment led by our partner CAPEXUS was to offer employees flexible and welcoming spaces for focused activity, team collaboration, idea generation and innovation, while supporting meetings.

On six floors, a total of 24 meeting rooms – 14 formal and 10 informal – as well as eight SilentLab MICROOFFICES® have been added.

Czech acoustics pioneer SilentLab presents another innovation in the field of sustainable sound solutions for the office. MICROOFFICE® PRIME is the newest addition to their flagship MICROOFFICE® product line of acoustic workspaces.

SilentLab’s MICROOFFICE® collection by architects Vojtech Kaas and Jan Kalivoda is a sustainable sound solution for the workplace. MICROOFFICE® PRIME, the bright and airy MICROOFFICE® UNIQ, the larger MICROOFFICE® CUBIQ and the modular MICROOFICE® QUADRIO are self-contained private workspaces ready for use in any office, without the need for structural modifications or renovations.

MICROOFFICE® UNIQ, the larger MICROOFFICE® CUBIQ and the modular MICROOFICE® QUADRIO are self-contained private workspaces ready for use in any office, without the need for structural modifications or renovations. By merging cutting-edge acoustic technology with an iconic design style, SilentLab has developed a solution that ensures silence and privacy while integrating seamlessly with its environment.

To clarify this vision, we asked five questions to more than 400 participating office furniture manufacturers.  This article is about Culture@Silentlab with the companies CEO Jan Kanka…
