However, there are occasions where a little peace and quiet can go a long way, especially for individuals who focus better when there aren't any distractions. To offer a solution to this, SilentLab debuts its self-contained private workspace concept that is deemed to be "a revolution in the work environment." This is essentially an enclosed, "[acoustically separated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canopy-desk)" rooms that can be easily inserted in any office. The product provides privacy by expanding on [meeting or individual desk spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-collection). SilentLab has dubbed its productivity-forward collection 'MicroOffice' and the company debuts its concept during London Design Week. Coming in a variety of sizes, the self-contained private workspaces also bring about a smart aesthetic.
