An office phone booth is a compact acoustic booth designed for phone calls, video meetings and tasks that require privacy or focus.
Although its name comes from traditional public telephone boxes, the modern version has been redesigned for today’s workplace. It combines acoustic performance, ventilation, lighting and connectivity in a comfortable modular structure.
A well-equipped booth should include:
- Certified acoustic insulation.
- Quiet ventilation.
- Comfortable lighting.
- Power sockets and USB ports.
- Sufficient interior space.
- A design that fits the workplace.
Unlike a conventional meeting room, a booth can be installed without building new walls or permanently changing the office.
What is an office phone booth used for?
The main purpose of an office phone booth is to provide privacy within a shared professional environment.
Professional and confidential calls
Employees can hold commercial, personal or sensitive conversations without distracting nearby colleagues or allowing every word to be clearly heard.
This is particularly useful for sales, human resources, customer service and management teams.
Video calls and virtual meetings
Hybrid work has made virtual meetings part of the daily routine. An acoustic booth helps reduce background noise and visual interruptions.
It also provides a more professional setting for conversations with clients, candidates and business partners.
Focused individual work
Writing a report, reviewing information or preparing a presentation requires sustained attention. An office phone booth can provide a temporary workspace away from the distractions of an open office.
What is the difference between a phone booth and an acoustic pod?
The terms are related, but they do not always describe the same product.
A phone booth generally refers to an individual pod for calls, video meetings and focused work. An acoustic pod is a broader category that can include booths for two or more people.
Beexmart offers individual models such as Beexmart One and Beexmart One Pro, as well as larger options such as Beexmart Two and Beexmart Quatro.
Benefits of installing an office phone booth
Lower noise levels in shared areas
Moving calls into acoustic booths reduces the number of conversations taking place at desks. This creates a calmer environment for the rest of the team.
Greater privacy
An office phone booth provides an appropriate setting for interviews, negotiations and conversations involving sensitive information.
Better focus
The physical and acoustic separation helps users step away from interruptions and concentrate on one specific activity.
More efficient use of space
Using a full meeting room for one phone call is rarely efficient. Individual booths free those rooms for group meetings.
Installation without permanent construction
Modular booths can be installed without building walls or undertaking a major renovation. They can also be dismantled or relocated when the layout changes.
Support for different working styles
An office should offer spaces for both collaboration and individual work. Acoustic booths give employees another environment to choose from according to their task.
What should a good office phone booth include?
Before choosing a model, consider the following features:
- Certified acoustic performance.
- Quiet and effective ventilation.
- Comfortable interior lighting.
- Electrical sockets and USB ports.
- Appropriate dimensions and furniture.
- Durable materials.
- Installation and after-sales support.
- Customisation options.
It is also important to distinguish between acoustic insulation and complete soundproofing. No booth should be described as completely soundproof unless that claim is supported by appropriate testing.
The ISO 717-1 standard provides a recognised framework for rating airborne sound insulation.
Which model does your business need?
Choosing the right office phone booth depends on how it will be used.
Individual booths
Individual models are suitable for phone calls, video meetings, online interviews and focused tasks.
Beexmart One and Beexmart One Pro are designed for these activities.
Two-person booths
Two-person models can be used for interviews, one-to-one meetings and private conversations.
Beexmart Two creates this type of space without the need to build another room.
Four-person booths
Larger pods are suitable for small team meetings, group video calls and collaborative sessions.
Beexmart Quatro provides a private meeting area for up to four people.

Does your company need an office phone booth?
If noise, interruptions or limited privacy affect your team’s daily work, an office phone booth can provide a flexible solution.
It is not simply an additional piece of furniture. It creates a dedicated environment for calls, virtual meetings and tasks that cannot be performed comfortably in a shared area.
At Beexmart, we help you assess your workplace and select the right acoustic booth for your company.
