It\u2019s no surprise that the culture of how people work has changed. Many of the traditional concepts of the workspace have shifted to concepts of sharing, transparency and collaboration. This shift in how we work, and where we do our work, has resulted in open office spaces. Closed doors and rows of isolated cubicles have turned into co-operative work stations and joint desks. <\/span><\/p>\n Enter the Loop Phone Booth, a product manufactured by ONETWOSIX, a Canadian industrial design and creative studio based in Edmonton, Alberta. We help businesses turn great ideas into beautiful and functional products that can be manufactured efficiently and cost effectively. Our approach to design is human centered and we believe that products can be created <\/span>without<\/span><\/i> aesthetic or functional compromise. <\/span><\/p>\n ONETWOSIX design shakes up established industries by using a unique approach with a strong focus on prototyping to create game changing, innovative products.In this day and age, private phone booths are a necessity to help add privacy to the open concept office space. <\/span><\/p>\n Pok\u00e9mon quickly realized this as well. <\/span><\/p>\n Pok\u00e9mon recently moved into a new office space in Seattle. They were looking to add some additional privacy options for their employees to take phone calls while also adding to the overall aesthetic of the space. <\/span><\/p>\n Loop Phone Booths. <\/span><\/p>\n The team at Pok\u00e9mon recently purchased 12 Loop Phone Booths for their new 4-floor office space with the help of Chris Grandy, Senior Account Manager at North Sound Interiors. We chatted with Chris, who purchased the Loop Phone Booths for the Pok\u00e9mon office in Seattle. Here\u2019s what he had to say: <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I started a general internet search for phone booths. I found a couple of options and submitted those to the client (Pok\u00e9mon) and architect for review. The architect liked the overall shape and the many customizable options the Loop Booth offered.<\/span><\/p>\n The main reason the client chose the Loop Booth over other competitors was because they wanted a booth with a glass door and back panel. At the time, Nick (President at <\/span>ONETWOSIX Design<\/span><\/a>) had not done that before with any of the booths, but he was eager to have a discussion with his engineering team to see if it was possible. We also had Nick and his team look into making the booths wider. The team\u2019s flexibility in design is what pushed them over the top.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Being that this was a new space with lots of open common areas, the architect did not want to use additional space for dedicated phone rooms. The phone booth gave them an opportunity to add to the overall aesthetics of the open\/breakout areas all while providing a place for privacy. <\/span><\/p>\n >>> Build Your Very Own Booth Right Here <<< <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Absolutely, Nick and Brendan were great to work with. They were both very responsive and willing to take on any challenge we threw at them.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe team from ONETWOSIX were great to work with. My client had proposed a significant change to the original design. ONETWOSIX didn\u2019t flinch. They were able to adapt to these changes while maintaining the budget and timeline. In the end the client couldn\u2019t be happier with quality, craftsmanship and functionality of the phone booths. Thanks so much to the team at ONETWOSIX Design.\u201d – Chris Grandy <\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n See all of our testimonials <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>! <\/span><\/p>\nCustomer satisfaction starts with exceeding expectations. <\/span><\/h3>\n

\n\u201cThe loop phone booths have been very well received from my team and our members! I run a coworking space and it is essential for our members to leave the open workspace and have private conversations which this has worked very well for. We highly recommend the booths for its aesthetic, practically and an overall conversation piece.\u201d – Diana Espiritu, Community and \u00a0Operations Manager, The Pad <\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
