Introducing the hushWall flexible office divider!

We released the A11, the high-design lounge chair. Privacy and comfort, encapsulated (quite literally). Then the hushHybrid one-person video call booth for excellent conference calls. A one-of-a-kind booth completing the Hushoffice collection of soundproof office pods. Next? HushWall for agile working!

What is hushWall? A mobile office divider that gives you options.

HushWall is a double-sided mobile office divider. 5 feet wide by 6.5 feet tall by 2 feet deep. Its dual-sidedness makes it a highly effective solution for agile workplaces because it’s versatile, catering to several needs at once.

Check out its product page here.

Dual-sided. Dual-function. The hushWall office screen equals flexibility.

Either side of the portable partition wall is customizable with 1 of 3 options. These are: felt paneling, modified felt paneling (with a place to mount a TV bracket), or a whiteboard. Also featured is a storage cabinet at hushWall’s base, which glides smoothly for easy access.

One customizable room divider. Multiple benefits. ENGAGE. INSPIRE. ADAPT.

HushWall is a modern answer to the imminent need for office partitioning. It’s like a rolling room divider

– lends Mateusz Barczyk, Senior Brand Manager, Hushoffice.

The hushWall office partition serves many needs at once. Space division. Layout flexibility. Employee autonomy. Collaboration in its varied forms. The product is truly multitalented.

Like a large, high-design rolling screen for the office.

HushWall looks great on account of top-quality materials. A honeycomb cellular board body, a durable metal base, effortlessly rolling casters that lock stably, and premium felt make the product’s strong, superior build. All of these elements are available in a selection of contemporary colors, giving hushWall a high-design air.

Meant for the contemporary workplace.

More than just utility, the free standing room divider has style. It contributes the same modern aesthetic as the layout itself evolves. In other words, hushWall makes the office look, feel, and work professional regardless of the floor plan’s actual configuration.

HushWall is the nimble approach to office design. Because it’s freestanding — a breeze to relocate — it adapts to support immediate needs. Just roll it where you need it. At a high level, it can keep up with company changes, fluctuating as they are

– says Eliza Donek, Product Manager, Hushoffice.

HushWall is mobile, making the office mobile. On lockable casters, the office partition can be fluidly moved. So it makes quick rearrangement of the office possible. Furthermore, employees can just roll the wall where they need it, in a wink.

Designed with employee autonomy in mind.

The freestanding partition fosters autonomy. It gives a workforce more control over their environment. Should an employee need more privacy at the huddle area, they roll hushWall to further enclose the space, achieving more visual and architectural privacy. Should they need to share the slide deck for a quick recap, they roll their TV-outfitted hushWall to the lounge area. No hold-up. Should a project group need to work out the steps of their latest conversion pathway, they roll their whiteboard-outfitted hushWall to the breakout area and get right to it.

Why autonomy?

Agile offices seek to generate autonomy above all else. Choice, options, and variety are the name of its game. This is because when employees have control over how and where they work, they perform better. Research shows that giving employees more control of their space leads to greater organizational productivity. Autonomy bolsters well-being, too — feelings of agency are proven to influence human well-being.

A workplace with a variety of environments or zones is ideal because it allows employees to pick the environment they like most. As a result, each employee harmonizes with their environment. They’re grounded. Focused. And wellness and productivity both flow from a state of harmony between humans and their built world. In a nutshell, a workplace with a variety of environments is ultimately more inclusive and more successful because it empowers people to work how they work best

– adds Eliza Donek, Product Manager, Hushoffice.

Summarized: 8 distinct benefits hushWall delivers

1.    Divides space

HushWall is about 6.5 feet tall and 5.25 feet wide. It’s portable yet stable, sitting on strong, locking casters. It’s a perfect weight, balancing relocation ease and stability when in use. This allows a team to create adequate sub-spaces or zones within the office. No sweat broken, no second wasted.

Semi-enclosed zones are more private than the open floor.

The dominion an employee enjoys in a semi-enclosed zone boosts their sense of security. They are no longer subject to distractions and other stress points on the floor. The employee feels more at home, more relaxed. Unworried by activity beyond their immediate area, they are able to deliver their strongest work.

Space division improves 2 vital types of office privacy: visual and architectural.

Visual privacy has two aspects. Visual distractions are blocked from the employee’s view. At the same time, the employee is partially shielded from others, so they don’t feel like they’re in a fishbowl. Architectural privacy is the degree to which a space physically encloses employees. Space division enhances both types.

2.    Gets maximum utility out of minimal square footage

When you divide your space, you also get the most utility out of your floor plan. HushWall works particularly well on this front because of its double-sidedness. At once, either side is supporting a differing team need. Say you order your hushWall with the modified felt paneling (featuring a place to mount a TV bracket) on one side and the whiteboard on the other. Your hushWall casts content to the sales team’s buzz session on one side as it accommodates the marketing team’s mind mapping-workshop on the second.

With hushWall, your office better accommodates the whole spectrum of work needs by its design.

Because it’s outfitted with multipurpose furnishings that serve multiple purposes at once.

3.    Uses space efficiently

In a similar vein… hushWall is space-efficient. As mentioned, double-sided equals double the function. Or twice the amount of function within the same mere 10.5 square feet. So we enjoy the obvious space-optimization benefit with the free standing partition wall.

An office fit with multi-use fixes is an office that’s more productive.

And for a simple reason. Multi-use fixes solve multiple problems. Perhaps the problem is, “How do I communicate this super abstract concept crystal-clear?” Or “What’s the most efficient way to bring the new marketing intern up to speed on our buyer’s journey?” HushWall customized with a dry erase board on either of its sides solves such problems.

For last-minute review of digital content.

Perhaps the problem is, “I need to go over the video proposal with my team one final time before sending it off to our new prospect.” The same hushWall as above solves this problem, too (if customized with the modified felt paneling — and equipped with your own TV).

One hushWall, several tasks.

Perhaps the problem is, “I need to meet with my project group asap for a confidential update that’ll alter our course.” The same hushWall above solves this problem, too. In sum, one hushWall can support several tasks. Its multi-use design is dynamite for an agile office.

4.    Powers collaboration

Complete with a whiteboard on either of its sides, hushWall is a portable dry erase wall powering collaboration. The whiteboard is apt because it’s the foolproof, fuss-free, old-school, tried-and-true method of getting ideas down.

A TV-outfitted hushWall is great for quick content sharing.

Say, presentations where visual expression is needed. Casting from one laptop to one TV is much easier than sharing the PowerPoint manually. And a small group gathered around one TV is a small group locked in on a focal point — a team aligned toward the shared end goal. In this sense, hushWall is an easy way to “construct” a temporary hub for casual, collaborative content sharing.

Think of it as a free standing tv room divider for video calls, dashboard metrics, and more.

Think videoconferences wherein multiple employees are attending from the office. A TV-outfitted hushWall can also come in handy streaming entertainment or industry news. Or as a digital bulletin board for pertinent announcements or metrics. Or as a dashboard displaying project benchmarks like deadlines and responsibilities.

5.    Supports the organic nature of creativity

Creativity is a fickle thing, coming and going as it pleases. But with hushWall, inspiration is never lost. Teams can briskly roll their wall to the breakout area, capturing the vision before it slips away. The movable room divider’s portability makes it a partner in creative efforts.

HushWall goes with the creative flow.

Say a colleague gets a random idea while finishing lunch. Their team responds warmly, seeing that the idea is quite bright. They encourage him to illustrate it while the thing is fresh. Together, they hurriedly roll their hushWall free standing dry erase board to the zone for free-thinking. They draw it all out, riding the wave of the moment.

6.    Makes the office layout mobile

As emphasized, hushWall’s portability means trouble-free rearrangement of the workplace. The beauty of portable office partitions is that one product can turn a fixed, inflexible office into a more mobile, more flexible one. This allows an organization to adapt the set-up, accommodating each emerging need.

HushWall rolls with the punches.

Of course, organizational needs take many forms. Employee behaviors develop. Team structures shift. Collaboration takes several shapes. And hybrid work is new for many companies. Change is all around. The office should feature some mobile office furniture like hushWall, which “flexes,” keeping up with constant change.

Mobile office furniture makes the office itself transformable.

In the future, you may need more independent workspaces or privacy. Or more “active” zones for uninhibited collaboration. Or more visual privacy or less open benching. Or comfortable spaces for video calls. Without a crystal ball, hushWall is sure to cater to such unknown future needs because it’s versatile.

7.    Function, when and where teammates need it

Say an employee seeks to cast the new product brochure to review as a group. Or they’re seeking more privacy for deeper focus. Or an uncomplicated way to jot down the new game plan. In each case, this employee can simply set up shop with a hushWall office partition and enjoy its function. No hurdle. No stress. No friction. Just function.

8.    Fosters autonomy

An office that’s thoughtfully divided into effective zones is an office that gives employees options — or, you guessed it, autonomy. With a selection of zones to pick from, teammates are free to work, meet, and relax in the zone most supportive of their immediate need.

Moreover, because it’s mobile, hushWall lets employees adjust the layout themselves.

They can relocate their hushWall to fashion the best floor plan as a team. So the office space divider does more than divide space. It makes participatory space planning a practical venture.

A few more hushWall use cases for inspiration…

Let’s take a couple more examples to see how hushWall makes the open office more productive, zone by zone.

Outfitted with a whiteboard on both sides, you’ve got a double sided rolling whiteboard.

On the other hand, with a whiteboard on one side and felt paneling on the second, hushWall fuels a brainstorming session for one zone while it flanks the adjacent zone. So one small team enjoys collaboration while another enjoys privacy. Call it a mobile-whiteboard-privacy-divider hybrid.

Fancy paneling on one side and a TV bracket on the other?

Configured this way, hushWall lends architectural privacy to one zone within the office. A rest area, perhaps. At the same time, it casts a meeting presentation into the adjacent zone. Perhaps an ad hoc meeting area. Call it an office-partition-tv-wall hybrid.

How about paneling on both sides?

Customized like this, hushWall delivers privacy to two adjacent zones.

What are the customization options for hushWall?

Office dividers – frequently asked questions

What do you need in an agile office?

An agile office is flexibly designed. It promotes autonomy. It offers stellar video-conferencing spaces as well as a mix of private and shared work environments. We recommend quiet spaces for calls (like the hushPhone booth), independent work environments (see hushWork.sit&stand pod workstation), and soundproofed spaces for video calls like that of the hushHybrid video call booth. Ideal meeting spaces include acoustic 3-4 person meeting pods like hushMeet, and private 2-person meet pods like hushMeet.S. By offering a range of environments, the office gives employees choice, options, and variety. So employees have control over where and how they work. In turn, they are able to simply work how they work best.

What kind of offices need portable office dividers and partitions?

Agile, hybrid, multi-use, flexible, and activity-based workplaces all benefit from office space dividers. Space dividers improve visual and architectural privacy. This means they promote focus by deterring visual distractions. It also means they boost well-being for introverted or sensory-avoidant employees. Or for employees that just prefer working in smaller, more enclosed spaces to working on a purely open floor. Mobile dividers and partitions are particularly helpful because they allow an organization to adjust its layout more easily. Check out the hushWall freestanding office divider for inspiration.

Can I customize hushWall?

Yes! Pick classic white or cosmos grey for the rolling room partition’s body. And for either partition side, pick from 1 of 3 options: felt paneling, modified felt paneling (with a place to mount a TV bracket), or a whiteboard. Check out the hushWall product page. Have a question? Leave it here 🙂
