Subtle Workstation Privacy Panels

The Acoustic Privacy Panels by UPLIFT Desk Deter Noise Pollution

— August 25, 2017 — Art & Design
The open concept office has been praised for being great for increasing collaboration yet has lead to a dramatic increase in the amount of noise pollution, so the Acoustic Privacy Panels by UPLIFT Desk are here to help.

The panels work by being affixed to a desk in different ways to provide a way to dampen up to 80% of the sound waves that come into contact with it. This means that the noise individuals make while working and conversations on the phone or in-person won't disturb others in the immediate office space.

The Acoustic Privacy Panels by UPLIFT Desk come in three color options including light gray, dark gray and blue, while also coming in two size options to suit varying needs.
