Office design has come full circle — from cubicles to open-plan layouts meant to spark collaboration. Yet, while open spaces look appealing, they often backfire, creating more noise and distraction than productivity.
Instead of costly renovations or a return to outdated designs, many companies are adopting larger solo work pods like the Silen Space 1.5 and Silen Chatbox Solo. These private, spacious pods give employees the quiet and comfort they need for focused, productive work throughout the day.
Why size matters: comfort and functionality
A slightly larger pod isn’t just about extra space. With room for ergonomic furniture and comfortable seating, pods such as Silen Space 1.5 and Chatbox Solo help improve posture, reduce fatigue, and allow natural movement. This comfort supports longer, more effective work sessions while protecting employee wellbeing.
Soundproofing and privacy: the technical edge
Larger pods deliver industry-leading noise reduction, minimising both outside distractions and internal sound leakage. Their advanced ventilation systems provide more than double the airflow of smaller booths, ensuring fresh air and comfort during extended use.
For those who want full control, the optional Silen Control Panel allows adjustments to lighting and ventilation, tailoring the workspace to each user’s preferences.
The result: a quiet, breathable, and adaptable environment designed for deep focus.
Real-world impact and long-term value
From writers and developers to designers and strategists, employees benefit from a workspace that supports genuine concentration and creativity. These pods aren’t just for quick calls — they’re built for real work.
By reducing distractions and physical strain, businesses see measurable gains: happier employees and fewer wasted hours.
The move toward larger solo pods isn’t a passing trend — it’s a smart, future-proof investment in productivity and employee satisfaction.
