What is the Seamless Solitude trend?
Seamless Solitude: Noise cancellation can be particularly important in open office spaces, and designers are now creating noise-canceling items that are able to seamlessly blend into the spaces they're in, rather than having obtrusive "dividers." These products cater to consumers and businesses looking to enhance office environments, in a way that does not deter the benefits of open offices.
