Acoustic sofas for defined seating zones
An acoustic sofa brings soft seating and integrated screening together in one furniture piece. High backs and surrounding panels can create a more enclosed setting within open-plan workplaces, hospitality areas, libraries or shared lounges.
They differ from standard sofas and lounge furniture because the screening element is central to the design. They are also a flexible alternative where a fully enclosed room is not required.
How to choose an acoustic sofa
Start with the intended setting, the number of users and the amount of separation needed. Consider access routes and how the sofa will sit alongside desks, tables and circulation space.
- Choose a back height that suits the level of visual screening required.
- Compare straight, curved and booth-style configurations for the available footprint.
- Coordinate upholstery color and finishes with surrounding furniture.
- Review complementary high-back sofas for related seating layouts.
