Created by the workplace furniture brand, [Narbutas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonus-m), the Silent Room offers a glass back wall to provide users with a light-filled and quiet office environment. In open workspaces, it is important to designate small areas for employees to make private phone calls, hold small meetings, and even complete tasks with maximum focus. This is what the Silent Room Acoustic Pod aims to accomplish. This marks an upgraded version of the brand's former [acoustic pod solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-lounge). This time, Narbutas decided to create a transparent back wall to create more of an open-air feel without sacrificing the silence the pod provides.
