Introduction: Why offices today need more than just desks
The world of work has changed radically: Rigid individual workstations are giving way to dynamic zones for concentration, collaboration and creative exchange. But one thing is often missing in lively open-plan offices:
places to retreat to for undisturbed work or confidential discussions. This is where
VOILA! The Box from Ergodata – an innovative solution that combines flexibility, acoustic comfort and design in one system.
1 The challenge: Changing working environments
Modern companies face three key challenges:
- Flexibility: spaces need to adapt quickly to changing team sizes and working styles.
- Acoustics: Noise levels in open-plan offices reduce productivity by up to 40 % (source: Steelcase).
- Privacy: Sensitive conversations or focussed work require protected areas.
VOILA! The Box responds to this with sophisticated acoustic pods that integrate seamlessly into any office – whether as a telephone booth, meeting alcove or quiet zone.
2. the solution: VOILA! The Box in detail
a) Key features for maximum functionality
- Excellent sound insulation (class A/B according to ISO 23351-1:2020) – ideal for confidential calls or concentrated work
- Modular design: 7 sizes (from “Small” for individuals to “XLarge” for teams) and countless configuration options
- Plug-and-play: Easy installation and mobile use thanks to castors.
- Healthy room climate: Automatic ventilation with 88-110 air changes per hour.
b) Impressive design
- High-quality materials: From sound-absorbing Camira fabrics in the interior to elegant RAL metallic surfaces.
- Customisation: Choose colours, table variants (electrically height-adjustable!) and accessories such as USB-C ports or wireless charging surfaces.
3. application scenarios: How companies benefit
- Hybrid working: Mobile pods as a “hot desk supplement” for focus phases.
- Agile projects: “Teams” version for spontaneous brainstorming sessions in a creative atmosphere.
- Reception areas: Elegant “Large 4P” pods for confidential client meetings.
Example: A Zurich tech start-up uses VOILA! pods as “think tanks” – employee satisfaction increased by 25 % as disruptions from colleagues fell significantly.
4 Sustainability and future-proofing
- Circular design: reusable modules and durable materials.
- Energy efficiency: LED lighting and ventilation-optimised systems.
Conclusion: The office as a “hub for productivity and well-being”
VOILA! The Box is more than just a telephone booth – it is a
strategic tool for modern working environments. Whether open-plan office, co-working space or hybrid office: the pods create
