Enhancing Office Privacy and Aesthetics with Custom Desk Separators

Privacy and an acoustically comfortable workspace are critical in today's dynamic office environments. Studies have shown that noise and lack of privacy are top complaints in open office settings, affecting employee productivity and well-being. Addressing these concerns with eco-friendly, customisable solutions enhances the work environment and reflects a commitment to sustainability and design excellence.

But before we dive into the solution we designed for a client of ours, let us share some insights.

Why Office Acoustics Matters

1. Productivity: A well-designed acoustic environment minimises distractions and allows employees to focus on their tasks, leading to higher productivity levels.
2. Communication: Clear acoustics are essential for effective communication, particularly in open office layouts and conference rooms where collaboration is key.
3. Well-being: Reducing noise pollution in the workplace helps lower stress levels, contributing to a healthier and more pleasant working environment.

Did You Know That?

• A survey by Oxford Economics found that employees consider a quiet workspace more important than perks like free food or gym memberships.
• Another study suggests that noise can reduce productivity by up to 66%.

Addressing these concerns with eco-friendly, customisable solutions enhances the work environment and reflects a commitment to sustainability and design excellence.

Unveiling the Project

Our client sought custom desk separators for their new office, focusing on eco-friendly materials, lightweight construction, and customisable shapes and sizes. Following a site visit and precise measurements, we designed bespoke separators using FESIGN Screenus acoustic felt panels. These separators, tailored for a four-person desk arrangement, featured power outlet cutouts and special mounting hardware. The smooth curves added a classic touch, seamlessly integrating with the office décor.

The primary challenge was to create a custom, eco-friendly solution that would be aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, and functional for the client’s office setup. The client wanted a seamless and easy solution for a four-person desk arrangement, which required precise design and execution.

We selected the FESIGN range of products, specifically the Screenus acoustic felt panels, due to their eco-friendly properties and customizable features. Made from 65% recycled polyester, these panels are sustainable and highly functional. They can be tailored in size, thickness, shape, patterns, and colours to meet specific requirements.

For this project, we designed custom-shaped separators with tailored cutouts for power outlets and special mounting hardware. The separators also featured smooth curves at the ends, enhancing the overall look and feel. The FESIGN panels were chosen for their acoustic benefits and visual appeal, ensuring they complemented the office décor.

The project was completed successfully, with the custom-shaped separators fitting perfectly into the office setup. The client was delighted with the separators' design, functionality, and aesthetic integration. The FESIGN Screenus panels provided an effective solution that met the acoustic needs and elevated the workspace's visual appeal.

Industry Trend

Modern office design trends increasingly emphasise the importance of acoustic comfort and visual appeal. Eco-friendly materials and customisable solutions are becoming essential as businesses aim to create productive and sustainable work environments.
