World’s first connected phone booth in offices launched by Finnish company Framery

A Revolutionary Adaptable Workspace

As workspace needs evolve, prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic, offices prepare to meet the growing demand for video conferencing which has become a core facet of business today. Research shows that by the end of 2021, 30% of the global workforce will work remotely multiple days per week, leading to increased video conference calls. The hybrid work model being adopted by organizations need soundproof and technologically advanced workspaces for successful virtual collaboration.

Framery set out to develop a solo workspace for efficient video conferences - Framery One - the world’s first connected phone booth that allows meetings and virtual conference calls within an office’s limited spaces without disturbing other people.

High-tech technology
A Revolutionary Adaptable Workspace
The top-of-the-line futureproof pod combines 4G technology and a digital ecosystem with superior acoustics and design. With a high-res touchscreen and seamless user interface (UI), the user can control reservations, airflow, and lighting. Users can integrate their calendar system so reservations can be made quickly or, if the pod is free, they can step inside, and the pod will be reserved automatically. The UI will show an on-screen message that alerts the user when their time slot is nearly up. If there aren’t any other bookings, the pod will automatically extend the session so the user can continue working. The pod’s accessories also include wireless charging, a power outlet, and a USB port.

The table, screen, and coat rack feature a fine-tuned arch. Both the seat and the table can be adjusted easily, with footrests on the floor and fixed to the seat to keep users comfortable for long stretches of time. The pod transitions to a standing workstation for those who prefer to stand if the seat is left out.The ventilation speed for Framery One is 29 litres per second, over four times higher than what is recommended for occupied spaces.

Designed for Today, Built for Tomorrow
With its intuitive software that keeps the pod up-to-date as technology evolves, the future-proof, modular design ensures that the pod can be upgraded as new tech specifications or working methods become the norm.

As regards sustainability, Framery One’s structure is constructed from steel, and a total of 95% of the materials used can be recycled. Steel also ensures that the structure is fireproof. Due to its efficient design, Framery One has a small footprint in the office but feels spacious to the user. Wheels allow users to re-arrange the product within the office as needed. As it can be difficult to re-organize an office without renovating, this feature allows the product to be more adaptable and flexible for user needs.

Additionally, Framery One has received a quality rating by the new ISO 23351-1 standard for sound insulation. Users never have to worry about private conversations being overheard or disrupting co-workers, even if the pods are near desks. The product is available in eight colors; the design team also created a range of interior panel fabrics for the carpet, seats, and tables so that the pod can be adapted to suit a specific company style.

Automatic alerts for maintenance needs ensure that issues are resolved quickly if issues arise. Framery’s customer care support can be easily accessed over email or phone. Framery Connect also provides insight into how Framery One is being used so that office managers can understand the booth’s utilization rate in a hybrid office and their return on investment.
