WAVE acoustic pods

Arranging the available workspace in the right way by providing employees with space for individual work, video conferencing, meetings, and brainstorming makes the workplace much more employee-friendly and boosts creativity. Such arrangements are possible thanks to acoustic pods — VANK’s mobile rooms designed for 2/3, 4, and 6. Thanks to the special design and the use of sound-absorbing materials, the pods effectively block outside noise and suppress the sound generated inside. WAVE panels with their three-dimensional structure act as diffusers to break up sound waves, bringing well-being to the office. They can be made of a biocomposite or non-woven rPET — grey or upholstered. The pods feature a safety glass door and come with connection panels, a ventilation system, energy-efficient LED ceiling lighting, a sound system, a TV screen mount, and a control panel which measures: lighting intensity, air purity, and noise levels. The pod is also available in a mobile version — on wheels. Acoustic pods will work well not only in office environments but also at event venues, in hotels, in public office buildings, and at airports.

rPET

VANK rPET acoustic panels are made from non-woven recycled plastic. They can come in a wide range of colours if upholstered in a fabric of choice.

NATURAL BIO-MATERIAL

VANK BIO acoustic panels are made from a biocomposite based on fibrous plants, i.e. flax and hemp.

The aesthetics of WAVE are inspired by the phenomenon of two opposing sound waves meeting head-on, becoming both ‘cancelled’ as a result.

DIVERSITY OF FORM

The pods come in many combinations: with one or two glass walls, with the body featuring the wave pattern on two sides side or one side only (the other is upholstered in plain fabric).

CREATIVE

The magnetic whiteboard, fixed to the rear inner and outer wall of the pod, can be used for writing and creating moodboards. A perfect tool for a brainstorming session inside the pod or nearby, turning the pod and its surroundings into an informal meeting space.

GRAPHIC LED

The pod is available in the GRAPHIC_LIGHT version with “Friday” mural artwork in 1 of 3 colours available or with a photo of the client’s choice. LED lighting on exterior walls.

JUNGLE

The outer left wall of the pod is finished with a system of modules for growing air purifying potted plants. A green wall in the office reduces employee stress and brings emotional balance and well-being to the workplace.

DARK GLASS

The front panes of the pod – including the door – are dimmed, which further provides visual privacy and user comfort while enabling the user to be in control of the situation outside the pod.

GREEN MOBILITY

All VANK acoustic pods can be moved freely at any time — and disassembled and assembled back if necessary. This is possible thanks to the castors fixed to the base and the heavy-duty design — suitable for repeated assembly.

FREEDOM OF FURNISHING

The freedom to furnish the pod with furniture makes it easy to adapt it to the current needs of the organisation. Available options include standard seats or collections like CO, CELOO, RING, V6, and PEEL.

TV MOUNT

To provide proper space for video conferencing, our pods feature TV mounts. Depending on the pod type, two kinds of mounts are available: corner or central.

SAFETY GLASS AND FIRE-RETARDANT MATERIALS

SAFETY GLASS AND FIRE-RETARDANT MATERIALS
