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.

NATURAL BIO-MATERIAL

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

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.

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

VANK_WAVE

INCLUSIVENESS

VANK_BOX_EASY is a pod adapted to the needs of wheelchair users, designed as a personal workstation.

CREATIVE

The magnetic whiteboard 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.

INTIMACY AND MOOD

When there’s need for privacy, focus or a special mood to accompany multi-user sessions, VANK_BOX_MOOD offers the single-colour translucent Daybreak2 curtains from Kvadrat.

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
