The development of the soundproof office pod industry globally

Since the dawn of the 20th century, the humble office phone booth has transformed into a versatile workspace known as the soundproof office pod, undergoing remarkable advancements in functionality, comfort, and soundproofing. This evolution has been coupled with a transition towards minimalistic design and intelligent features. These advancements are largely attributed to the pioneering efforts of industry leaders who have left an indelible mark through patented designs.

In 2001, a visionary designer patented the "phone booth furniture with a seat" (AT44343S), introducing the concept of combining functionality with comfort. A significant breakthrough occurred in 2010 with the introduction of the "phone booth with a seat and soundproof door" (KR300601520S). This design revolutionized the field by integrating a soundproof door, offering users a truly private and undisturbed calling environment.

In 2014, the emergence of the "phone booth" design (USD732691S1) further enriched the landscape of workspace designs, focusing on the integration of aesthetics and functionality. 

In 2018, Dancoo's "Telephone Booths" (EU0052530690003S) introduced the concept of combining minimalistic beauty with functionality, ushering in a period of rapid growth for the industry. Since then, the role of these pods has evolved from mere privacy and undisturbed calling to multifunctional soundproof workstations ideal for video conferencing and focused work.
