ROOM - A Personal Space for The Open Office

At ROOM, we’re reimagining the modern workplace. Our first product, ROOM One, is a soundproof booth that helps you get things done. It’s engineered with recycled plastic bottles to do more by using less, and it’s easy to move around and assemble. We ship flat and sell direct to keep costs low, making ROOM One the first to solve noise at scale.

We have these in both AngelList offices (SF and NY) and they're a blast. Well-ventilated (we added extra fans for comfort) and well designed, they fit into almost any office environment. Much better than yacking to your mother in the middle of the office. 😅

@nickabouzeid LIFE SAVER. Worst thing is not being able to find a room for a scheduled call or meeting.

@nickabouzeid We are so proud to have AngelList as a customer, and very happy to hear that you're getting good use out of our product! :)

@rrhoover I agree - in general, people unnecessarily hog meeting rooms to eat lunch, have a personal conversation or any # of things.

Funny project 😀, never understood open-space offices - really decreases productivity and work quality to my mind.

I don't understand why they didn't go with getaroom.com.

Awesome product, much needed for open office environments! What are some of the big challenges you guys have run into along they way? 🔥🔥🔥

@sebfeed May just be a box at the end of the day, but we had to obsess over all of the details to get it just right. What you see today took tons of iterations to strike the right balance between ventilation, soundproofing, weight, good lighting, easy assembly, etc.

Used these at the Collision Conference in Nola. Amazing!

I work at a co-working space on a regular basis and this is a great product to have. While open work spaces are a good development for the office, privacy is often overlooked. This is a good solution for looking for an empty conference room.

They seem a bit small/cramped

After using the ROOM in a knowtel space and in NOLA for Collision conf they provide a great essential mix of function and comfort and really do a good job of isolating sound from around you. There also is a small fan which does a good job of keeping the air inside fresh.

Pros:

Room is a booth that really helps focus in a open environment in an elegant and non-claustrophobic way.

Cons:

The outlet placement is somewhat unintuitive.

I think what most people don't realise is how amazingly comfortable such booths FEEL. I have had a different booth installed at my open office and it was such a pleasure to lock myself in it and be able to focus my full attention on my work without the constant unconscious need to monitor my environment which people are burdened with in open offices. I was surprised how much more at ease, safe, comfortable and cozy I felt when I was there and as a consequence much more productive.

Funny what mad american millennials can create.

Pros:

Might be comfy for someone

Cons:

Looks like a booth for an outlaws or derelicts
