This is where the likes of Haworth can start to respond and have been responding with office design and furniture solutions geared towards acoustic control. Its own white paper on Workplace Acoustical Performance identified the A, B, C and D of acoustic control – Absorb, Block, Cover and Diffuse, some of which principles filter through their collection of office furnishings, and govern the precise design of certain products, such as phone booths and pods, and dividing panels such as Haworth’s own Drift which block noise. Other products are designed to fulfil one function while simultaneously absorbing or diffusing sound. We’re talking soft seating, such as Haworth’s Riverbend and Cabana Lounge sofas, or the sound-absorbing pieces from BuzziSpace which include colourful pendant lights, planters, wall tiles and totems.
