Supreme acoustically, Class A hushFree pods guarantee speech privacy.
The pods in the new hushFree pod line all provide insulation for any speech inside, preventing eavesdropping and data leaks. They offer a solution for the serious problem of speech privacy in the open office. Inside, discussions of confidential or sensitive information such as strategic plans, financial data, or personal affairs are 100% protected.
We are extremely proud of the impressive Class A rating of our hushFree line of pods. This means employees and partners have the freedom to gather in any pod, such as the hushFree.M, and discuss any topic, whether it is confidential, sensitive, or not, without concern that someone might overhear. As an acoustic environment, the pods are simply pleasant. Office background noise is subdued, creating a low-key and calm space that enhances concentration. This sense of ease is what this line is made for
– explains Hushoffice Product Manager Eliza Donek.
HushFree pods for meetings provide the security staff and clients expect for essential conversations.
When individuals are certain their discussions are confidential, they communicate more honestly and openly. This results in the most meaningful and productive conversations. Improved outcomes are seen in teamwork and major partnerships. A HushFree pod offers a premium space for meetings where everything begins.
Spaces for meetings that guarantee speech privacy help create a positive impression of your organisation, demonstrating the importance your organisation places on confidentiality and professionalism, making a priority of respect towards clients, partners, and employees. HushFree pods contribute to this equation. The new line includes the hushFree.S well-suited for video meetings in hybrid mode, the hushFree.M good for gatherings of small teams of four people, and the hushFree.L ideal for larger six-person conferences, catering to a range of meeting requirements

Let there be enough light! The lighting in a HushFree pod is min. 500 lm/m2 and can be adjusted by the user.
When workspace lighting is not bright enough, people’s eyes suffer strain so they can see their work. Too bright, and discomfort disrupts focus. Both situations result in fatigue and issues with vision. Every hushFree pod has adjustable lighting so employees can find the perfect setting for them.
Aligned with the global standard, hushFree pods provide 500 lm/m2 lighting.
500 lm/m2 is the level of illumination recommended for general work in an office. We therefore designed the lighting in our new hushFree line to guarantee 500 lm/m2, so that all the pods are comfortable in extended work sessions.
Preferences for lighting are quite individual and depend on the task.
It is interesting that workspaces such as hushFree pods, which allow employees to control lighting, are shown to promote well-being as well as comfort and are positively correlated with productivity. That’s why including adjustability in lighting design for the hushFree family of pods was essential.
Stay fresh. HushFree pods provide the most efficient and the quietest ventilation system ever.
Stale air in the office lowers productivity; due to the accumulation of CO2, which impairs thinking and attentiveness. The new hushFree pods allow you to catch your breath, both metaphorically as a retreat from the noise of the office and literally through efficient ventilation that ensures continuous renewal of the air.
HushFree pods are completely mobile, so you have the freedom that comes with flexibility.
Movable furniture means a workspace can respond, accommodating change without getting stuck. This level of responsiveness is crucial in the world of today where change is the defining factor above all else. Therefore, the hushFree pods feature castors so they can be easily and quickly moved to cater for unpredictable needs as they emerge.
A booking system that streamlines hushFree pod reservations.
A booking system enables employees to easily and quickly locate and reserve and available pod, eliminating the need for search the floor in person. The software prevents double booking or scheduling conflicts, streamlining the meeting coordination process.
All hushFree pods are available empty or equipped with your choice of contemporary furniture.
Let’s have a closer look at the pods to explore the options available.
HushFree.S — a pod for one for focused work or video calls.
The hushFree.S presents a top-notch pod for independent work that is compact and easy to use. The height of the desk can be adjusted to match the optional stool, promoting natural posture for work, allowing you to stand or sit. HushFree.S is a great meeting space for video calls thanks to its LED light strips for video and flawless acoustics.
HushFree.M — a pod for four for group work or private meetings.
The HushFree.M offers meeting area for a team or a large workspace that can be equipped with a practical meeting table, cozy sofas, or left empty for you to furnish yourself with, for example, a desk and office chair. Available as well is a mounting bracket for a TV.
