Boobook Screening System – A Sound Approach to Agile Workspaces
The Boobook Screening System is a modular, reconfigurable solution designed to transform open-plan office spaces into focused, collaborative zones. Developed in response to the post-pandemic workplace shift, Boobook empowers organisations to create dynamic environments where teams can connect in person without disturbing others.
This highly adaptable system features a series of screen panels and solid pine posts that can be arranged in over 30 pre-defined configurations, making it easy to customise work zones, meeting pods, or retreat spaces within open offices. Compact yet impactful, Boobook is ideal for organisations transitioning their offices into collaboration hubs.
Named after the Australian Boobook owl, known for its silent flight, this product takes inspiration from nature’s clever acoustic design. Like its namesake, Boobook’s panels absorb and dampen noise, enabling quiet focus or spirited discussion without distraction.
Launched in 2021, Boobook was developed by Koskela in response to the evolving role of the office—as a place to gather, exchange ideas, and build culture. The design uses materials diverted from landfill, reducing environmental impact while supporting sustainable manufacturing.
Fun fact: a group of owls is called a parliament—Boobook makes room for yours.
