About this product

The Jacob phone booth is part of Koskela's WorkHub™ collection.

This upholstered workstation is designed for individuals to make phone calls in open-plan workplaces. Acoustically tested, it has a Measured Insertion Loss of 9.9 dBA, which in layman's terms means sound transmission is halved.

As well as reducing sound, Jacob’s upholstered panels block out visual stimuli. Choose from a range of fabrics that provide a soft and tactile backdrop to your work. With almost all distractions removed, it’s easy to concentrate on the task at hand.

The booth comes with a bench to neatly sit your computer or notepad on and Power and data integration can be integrated with an outlet fitted into the bench.

For any companies grappling with a disjointed hybrid workplace, this solution can bridge the gap.

This cosy solution creates a cocooned zone for those requiring focus and privacy— ideal for libraries, corporate offices, and university campuses. 

Designed and manufactured in Australia, the Jacob system is made for longevity and change. Upholstered wall panels come with removable, zip-off covers that can be spot cleaned, dry cleaned, or replaced to maintain a fresh look and feel without the need for full replacement.

Better For The Environment

When designing Jacob, Koskela’s industrial designers took on the challenge of making Jacob’s components repairable or replaceable, so the product can be maintained and last much longer.

A major innovation is the removable covers, which is a unique feature for this type of product within the market. Easily removed, the covers can be regularly dry-cleaned and after several years replaced, to keep the product looking like new.

Made Right Here, Right Now

Over our 21-year history, Koskela has developed trusted relationships with Australian manufacturers. Not only are we proud to support local jobs, but we also don’t compromise on labour conditions. The skilled craftspeople who make our furniture are fairly remunerated and we stand by their work with a 7-year warranty.

Manufacturing onshore also means we can make and deliver Jacob much faster – just 8 weeks – the fastest lead time in the market. Two times faster* and 25 percent less expensive* than building a meeting room from scratch.

*Compared to a fixed, 4-person meeting room with standard finishes.

Quiet

Products in the Jacob range have a Measured Insertion Loss between (dBA) 8.0 and 9.9, which in layman’s terms means noise transmission is reduced by 50 percent.

The noise reduction is achieved by the upholstered panels that are the cocooning walls of every Jacob booth. A standard panel is 1500mm-high and approximately 75mm-thick. Inside is a substrate that reflects sound, cushioned by soft foam that absorbs sound. This dual barrier means very little sound can pass through – background noise cannot enter, and meeting noise cannot escape.

As well as reducing sound, Jacob’s upholstered panels block out visual stimuli. Choose from a range of fabrics that provide a soft and tactile backdrop to soothe the senses. With almost all distractions removed, it’s easy to concentrate on the task at hand.

Smart

Essential to the success of the post-pandemic workplace is bridging the digital divide. While physical spaces can be reconfigured for collaboration, there remains a need to engage with people who are working remotely. When cleverly integrated, technology can seamlessly connect the physical and digital.

Jacob booths can be specified with power, data and AV that enables people to plug-in and play. Concealed cabling is wired to the source. Built-in power boxes can offer a range of connections. Koskela is also working with a specialist AV partner to offer a package catered to booths with a UHD screen and camera, plus a full range speaker.

As part of Koskela’s aftercare program, hardware can be updated when the technology advances. Wired up and optimised for virtual meetings, Jacob is a smart piece of furniture that enormously enhances the experience of collaborating with people near and far. For any companies grappling with a disjointed hybrid workplace, this solution can bridge the gap.
