Forms of collaboration are changing with the rapid changes in the world of work. Video conferencing is now an integral part of working life in three-quarters of organisations. However, they are often perceived as unproductive. With QUIET.BOX Live, office furniture manufacturer König + Neurath presents a possible solution. 

Homogeneous ambient lighting, indirect accent lighting and switchable front lighting: what reads like an instruction manual for a car is one of the recipes for success of the new room-in-room solution from König + Neurath. The family-owned company offers its customers not only desks, chairs and storage solutions, but also innovative room systems. Now it is introducing a variant that can improve video meetings - not in terms of content, but in terms of form and function. By presenting people in the best possible light and with the best possible sound. 

How the environment also improves the quality of video conferencing content  

"Video conferencing offers our partners, like many companies, the opportunity to bring their teams together for coordination, updates or project work without incurring travel costs or requiring everyone to be in the office at the same time. However, the sticking point for the organisation so far has been that individuals often block entire meeting rooms or join the video call directly at their workstation, which in turn disturbs others," says Peter Heimann, Head of Sales Room Systems at König + Neurath, describing two of the most common problems. "As the light and sound quality is usually suboptimal, content and subtleties are lost on the transmission path," he adds. "If you're sitting quietly in a well-ventilated room with no disturbing noises, in the best light and with the best sound, you'll be more focused yourself and will be perceived clearly by those on the call. That's half the battle.

Advantages of the QUIET.BOX Live for architects and interior designers

The new video box from König + Neurath not only offers users a range of advantages, but also benefits interior designers and planners. For example, the selective use of the QUIET.BOX Live opens up new possibilities for structuring spaces: In open office landscapes, they can be placed flexibly without interfering with the building structure and can be adapted to the existing furniture in terms of style and color. They increase flexibility by allowing them to be grouped with the QUIET.BOX Duo and QUIET.BOX Duo XL to create self-sufficient retreat areas of different sizes. "We have hit a nerve with the QUIET.BOX Live and have already sold more than a dozen units before the official market launch," says a delighted Peter Heimann from König + Neurath.
