VERSATILITY

Many organisations are now familiar with the benefits of flexible spaces and open offices. They provide connection and promote encounters. But at the same time they provide extra distraction and stimuli. Especially now that videoconferencing is on the rise.

Qabin Chat is the ideal place for those who want to isolate themselves from a noisy work environment to hold a video conference with a colleague or client. The unit is also ideally suited for tasks that require full concentration. This more spacious unit offers all the amenities for this type of task.

THE RIGHT BALANCE IN AN OPEN SPACE

Various activities often take place at the same time in work environments, with each activity producing its own level of noise. Providing sufficient space for people to (temporarily) isolate themselves will contribute to the right balance in the workplace. The increasing number of video calls also requires a solution that allows employees to withdraw from the bustle of the office for longer periods of time. The Qabin Collection provides that solution.

NATURAL AIR CONDITIONING

Warm air rises, cold air drops. This basic principle was the starting point for the development of the Qabin. We designed a unique system that draws the air inside the unit from the bottom through the walls to the top. Fans in the ceiling draw the air upwards.

The incoming air is always cooler, providing a natural and cooling airflow. People and electrical equipment, such as laptops, warm up the room. This 'natural air conditioning' ensures that the temperature inside the unit is kept at a stable level. It is possible to make your own adjustments to the ventilation system.

DESIGN YOUR OWN

Qabin Chat comes in three configurations of which an overview can be found in the brochure. The configuration that is best for your organisation depends on how you will be using the unit. Will it be used as a single workspace, for videoconferences or meetings, for example?
