Sofa booths are typically high-backed seating arrangements that have been designed specifically for offices. They provide semi-private, acoustically treated spaces that are ideal for meetings,
collaboration, or independent focused work.

Due to their compact nature – typically accommodating 2 to 6 people – sofa booths can be used to great effect in open-plan office layouts, maximising space for informal gatherings. This makes them a great alternative to traditional meeting rooms which are often unavailable at short notice or are unsuited for such meetings.

Sofa booths offer several advantages within offices and workplaces, including enhanced privacy in
open-plan layouts, improved acoustic control to reduce distractions, and increased comfort for
employees. They’re also highly flexible, creating informal meeting spaces that can be easily
reconfigured to optimise space utilisation.

By encouraging spontaneous collaborating and quick discussions, sofa booths are also great for
building a more dynamic and cohesive work environment. Plus, thanks to their acoustic properties, there’s minimal risk of disturbing the rest of the workplace.

To achieve the best results with sofa booths within your workplace, you need to consider how you
can balance accessibility with privacy. Ideal spots include open-plan spaces near workstations,
allowing easy access for spontaneous meetings, but away from high-traffic areas to minimise
distractions.

Other suitable spots for sofa booths include near windows or natural light sources, helping to create
a more inviting atmosphere. Alternatively, try positioning your sofa booths near pre-existing
collaborative zones or in corners. This can help define different work areas while maximising an
office’s use of space.

All our acoustic sofa booths available at BT Office can be fully customised to suit specific office
needs, specifications, and aesthetics. Our customisation options include choices such as fabric, colour, seating arrangements, and overall size. Some sofa booth ranges also offer modular designs that allow for different configurations, ensuring that each booth can fit perfectly within the available space.

This level of customisation ensures that sofa booths not only meet practical requirements but also contribute to the overall design and branding of the office environment.
