Steelcase, an innovative workplace solution company unveils its highly anticipated product, On the QT from Orangebox, manufactured at Steelcase’s state-of-the-art facility in South China.
On the QT is a revolutionary phone booth solution designed to provide privacy, facilitate focused work, and encourage creative thinking. This cutting-edge offering strikes the perfect balance between efficient space utilization and workable comfort.
In response to the rise of remote and hybrid work models, organizations across the Asia-Pacific region are in search of flexible solutions that foster collaboration, privacy, and employee well-being. On the QT seamlessly combines these essential elements into a single, versatile work wall, enabling teams to work efficiently and effectively in any environment, the company said in an official statement.
According to the company, the QT offers best-in-class acoustics. The curved screens not only provide privacy but also act as acoustic absorption, reducing reverb flutter between the glass. The internal walls are engineered to block sound penetration, and the secure doorframe maintains consistent seals, virtually eliminating sound leakage. The QT also empowers users to create their own unique applications. With a selection of short and tall pods, the solution allows for dedicated individual focus work or collaborative “campsite” setups for team huddles, brainstorming, and collaboration. The combination of short and tall booths intuitively communicates the function and duration of stay to users.
“Phone booths are incredibly popular spaces for quick call privacy, and we have upped the game by bringing more comfort and flexibility with On the QT,” says Mark Partridge, Designer of On the QT at Orangebox. “We believe this innovative work wall solution will help organizations create environments that foster collaboration, privacy, and well-being, ultimately driving productivity and success.”
Furthermore, On the QT offers unmatched convenience. Assembling the solution is a seamless process that can be completed in just 1 hour. Once assembled, it can be easily transported to any desired location by removing the bottom cover, placing a pallet truck underneath, jacking it up, and wheeling it away. The short booth’s ability to pass through doorways wider than 1 meter minimizes disruptions to day-to-day workflow.
