Reducing noise in open-plan offices: why our Work-in-Cabin acoustic booths are the solution ?
Noise in open-plan offices remains one of the biggest obstacles to productivity and employee well-being. For years, our teams have been talking with companies that deal with these daily noise disturbances: phone calls, spontaneous conversations, impromptu meetings, keyboard clicking…
To address these very real challenges, we created the Work-in-Cabin range of acoustic booths, a quiet, private, and ready-to-use space.
Why is noise in open-plan offices so distracting ?
Studies and feedback from our clients highlight the same findings:
repeated interruptions → loss of focus
mental overload → faster fatigue
noise-related stress → reduced well-being
decreased productivity → up to 66% loss on certain tasks
difficulty handling professional calls in proper conditions
Our teams have observed these issues firsthand. We found that even a few seconds of noise disruption can require several minutes to regain optimal concentration.
This is why we imagined, designed, and perfected our Work-in-Cabin acoustic booths.
Work-in-Cabin : our acoustic booths for open-plan offices
To design this range, we put ourselves in the users’ shoes : employees, managers, sales teams, HR professionals… Each has different needs, but everyone wants a quiet and practical space.
Work-in-Cabin acoustic booths offer:
sound insulation up to 29 dB
confidentiality for calls and meetings
a comfortable workspace within a glass-enclosed environment
easy installation, with no construction work required
large glass panels to avoid feeling enclosed
high-quality materials for a refined and pleasant work environment
Thanks to high-performance sound-absorbing materials, our booths reduce:
noise from the open-plan office,
noise generated inside the booth,
the stress of being in a blind soundproof space, thanks to large high-performance glazed panels (44.2 laminated Silence glass).
Enhanced sound insulation
Our expertise in designing professional equipment has enabled us to develop a thin yet highly efficient multilayer acoustic structure, suitable for all types of environments.
Integrated silent ventilation
We have incorporated a ventilation system that is discreet to the ear (9 dB raw, and even lower with the acoustic enclosure), while still ensuring comfort during extended use thanks to air renewal every 4 minutes.
Fully equipped for productive work
All our booths are at least equipped with a set of essential features:
ceiling-mounted LED lighting, neither too bright nor too dim, with neutral white light
3 power outlets + 2 USB charging ports positioned at desk height
a comfortable high-density foam seat (firm, but not too firm)
a work surface suitable for any laptop
French and responsible manufacturing
Our booths are designed and manufactured in France, using durable materials and local partners. We prioritize high-quality, controlled, and responsible production.
Easy installation, no construction required
Our booths can be installed in just a few minutes and easily relocated when reorganizing an open-plan office.
Major construction work or an acoustic booth ?

In addition to our standard Work-in-Cabin range, our teams can also design a custom acoustic booth tailored to your project:
custom dimensions to fit your constraints (between columns, slightly smaller spaces than standard models, etc.),
integration into unusual or specific locations, with the possibility of incorporating finishes beyond the standard catalog,
interior layouts tailored to your needs: RJ45 / HDMI sockets, wheelchair-accessible access, logos, privacy films, etc.,
specific acoustic performance requirements,
custom design or integration of your equipment whenever possible.
This custom manufacturing capability is one of JPemball’s greatest strengths and a feature highly valued by our clients.
Work-in-Cabin acoustic booths instantly reduce noise in open-plan offices, improve concentration, ensure confidentiality, and promote workplace well-being — all without major construction work.
At JPemball, we put our manufacturing expertise at the service of your teams to create calmer, more productive, and more pleasant work environments. Our experts are here to advise you on the most suitable booth or to design a custom solution together.
