Smart, fast connections that you slide together and you're ready to go - the system is up and running in a matter of minutes.
Step by step, the economy is slowly starting to move again. Activity will increase again in the offices. However, the effects of the corona virus will remain visible in our environment for the time being. We will have to make adjustments to our workplaces so that we can all go back to work safely and with pleasure.
Many solutions that are now suddenly offered everywhere are cheap-looking Plexiglas screens where aesthetics can still be improved. In addition, before this crisis, there were a number of other developments taking place in the offices in the Netherlands that demanded change. Office gardens that do not appear to work as they were envisaged and noise pollution as one of the most frequently heard complaints.
The modular acoustic partition wall by TRIBOO is the piece of furniture that elegantly solves these three problems. Lightweight modules are used to quickly and easily build the desired arrangement. Clever connections that you slide into each other and you're done, the system is up and running in a few minutes. No glue, screws or nails, which allows you to flexibly change the shape of the furniture when the working method or occupancy of the office changes.
The modular partitions can be built up from various lightweight modules. This allows for flexible building and configurations in different shapes. The most common shapes are C, H, L and T. The partitions are available in various standard sizes and fit most desks.
Placing the modular partition walls creates a space within a space. This creates more privacy for the user, allowing them to concentrate more without being constantly distracted. The dynamics in open plan offices are so disruptive to concentration that it takes an employee approximately twice as long to complete a task. This leads to an average loss of productivity of 86 minutes per day. This equates to 24 working days per employee per year. Moreover, an employee makes 50% more mistakes in the work he or she does finish. Especially complex tasks, which require a high level of concentration, suffer from the effects of the open office environment. Only 11 undisturbed working minutes per hour remain between disruptions. Researchers from the University of California calculated that it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to regain concentration after a concentration-disrupting event.
The inside of the modular partition is perforated, absorbing sound at its source. This is not only good for the user, but also for the other users working nearby. Installing the various islands in an open-plan office considerably improves acoustic comfort and reduces noise complaints.
A corona virus module can optionally be placed at the top of the modular partition to ensure that employees can work safely and healthily. When the module is no longer needed, it can simply be removed and a decorative strip can be used to fill the cavity, leaving a beautiful piece of furniture in its place. The corona virus modules made of recycled plexiglass can be returned to TRIBOO who will make sure they can be reused again.
The modular partitions are made of the lightweight #GREENGRIDZ furniture construction panels. #GREENGRIDZ is a healthy and circular furniture construction panel. The lightweight construction consists of a patented GRID system. The panel can be assembled from various upcycled waste streams of natural cellulose fibres.
The construction panel makes an important contribution to a healthy working and living environment. It is CARB2-certified, proof that it is a safe product. This means that it meets the highest requirements when it comes to volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as formaldehyde. It is also biodegradable.
