What is an acoustic phone booth?
An acoustic phone booth is a compact enclosed booth intended for one person. It gives employees a defined place for phone calls, virtual meetings and work requiring less distraction than an open-plan setting. Unlike larger office pods or acoustic rooms, a phone booth is designed around individual occupancy and a smaller footprint.
Depending on the model, specifications can include features such as integrated seating, a work surface, power connections, lighting and ventilation. Review the product details to select a configuration appropriate for how your workplace uses calls and video meetings.
Where to place a one-person booth
Phone booths can support a range of workplace layouts, including:
- Open offices where calls would otherwise take place at desks
- Shared workspaces with changing users and teams
- Areas near meeting rooms for quick individual calls
- Reception, customer-service or project areas needing a private call point
Allow sufficient circulation space around the booth and consider access to power, nearby activity and the overall acoustic layout. Our office acoustics planning guide can help frame these decisions alongside other sound-management furniture.
