Hoodie

The push toward open plan, collaborative offices in recent years has led to a decline in workplace effectiveness, partly due to distracting noise and visual stimulus. Koskela designed the Hoodie™ to specifically deal with this by providing a sight and sound barrier for office workers. This is particularly useful in open plan environments or in Activity Based Workplace fitouts where quiet thinking spaces are needed. Classrooms and libraries in flexible learning environments in schools and universities can also benefit from the Hoodie™. The Hoodie™ Integrated is comprised of an acoustic hood, which is integrated with a desk. Optional add ons such as internal shelves, data boxes and LED lighting are available.
