Soundbox acoustic pods showcased at ORGATEC TOKYO 2026
The VRT Pod was presented as a solution for acoustic privacy and flexible collaboration in modern open-plan offices. Designed for focused work, private conversations, video conferencing, and small team meetings, the VRT Pod is available in six sizes, with up to 31 dB sound reduction and continuous fresh-air ventilation to support a wide range of workplace needs within existing office layouts.
The Home Pod was presented as a solution for personal acoustic workspaces in home and hybrid work environments. Designed for remote work, study, and focused activities, its house-inspired design, 25–26 dB sound insulation, integrated lighting, and built-in power support individuals who need a comfortable and functional quiet space without the need for permanent room construction.
The FHONE was presented as a solution for spontaneous calls and private conversations in open-plan offices. Designed for quick communication and focused interactions, its lightweight, wall-mounted structure and acoustic buffering provide an accessible private calling space while maximizing efficiency within existing workplace layouts.
What Soundbox highlighted at ORGATEC TOKYO 2026
At ORGATEC TOKYO 2026, the Soundbox highlighted the VRT Pod as a key solution for modern workplaces, with a focus on smart control, user comfort, and flexible deployment.
Smart control — everything stays within reach. The VRT Pod’s Smart Matrix serves as the cabin’s central control interface, bringing lighting, ventilation, and cabin environment settings into one panel. Users can adjust brightness, color temperature, fan speed, and optional cooling settings through the built-in panel, while monitoring real-time temperature, humidity, and air quality.
The app — the pod is ready before you arrive. The AI Matrix Assistant app puts remote control in your hands, letting you pre-set lighting and color temperature, adjust fan speed, or activate cooling before you walk in. Access is just as flexible — unlock the pod through the app, tap the NFC reader on the door, or scan a QR code for quick entry.
The design — shaped around the experience inside. Soft-touch materials, refined acoustic finishes, and comfortable sofa seating create a warm, inviting interior designed to comfort throughout longer work sessions. Thoughtful details, from tactile surfaces to the seating, make the space feel less like an enclosed booth and more like a place you naturally want to stay.
Applications for calls, focus, and small meetings
Office phone booths create dedicated spaces for calls, video meetings, and focused work within busy open-plan offices. They give individuals the privacy to speak freely and concentrate without surrounding conversations or movement becoming a distraction. With configurations for individuals, pairs, and larger groups, VRT Pod provides a flexible acoustic workspace that adapts to different needs across the office.
Focus pods create a dedicated space for longer periods of concentrated work, away from everyday distractions at home or in the office. For extended use, privacy alone isn’t enough — the space also needs to feel comfortable, calm, and inviting. With its house-inspired design and warm interior, Home Pod creates a personal retreat for focused work that feels more like a space of your own than a traditional office booth.
Private call spaces are useful when a quick conversation needs more privacy, but booking a meeting room feels unnecessary. In busy offices, passing conversations and surrounding activity can easily interrupt a call or make it harder to communicate clearly. FHONE creates a compact acoustic space for spontaneous calls and focused conversations, without the footprint of a full-size pod.
