Talky x vitra edition

A well-designed open office environment includes options for quiet retreat – for telephone calls, focused solo tasks, confidential conversations or to simply contemplate ideas. Talky, a soundproof pod developed for Erich Keller AG by designer and architect Stephan Hürlemann, fulfils this very purpose and is marketed by Vitra in an adapted range of materials and colours. As Talky‘s exterior panels can additionally be equipped with pinboards, whiteboards, flipcharts, shelving, worksta- tions, coat racks and plant trays, it also energises its immediate surroundings. Combined with the mobile Dancing Wall, also designed by Hürlemann, Talky contributes to the dynamic environment of open office landscapes. Talky can be furnished with fabrics by Vitra both inside and out, and therefore harmonised with diverse office settings as well as with other Vitra products. The interior fittings can be adapted to the respective use – making it possible to transform a single office into a mini- meeting room or small workshop in a few simple steps. The effective acoustic insulation ensures privacy, while the powerful but quiet ventilation system provides good air quality inside the pod. And with exterior surfaces covered in fabric, Talky has a positive effect on room acoustics. Talky exists in the sizes S75 and S109 for one to four people and can also be produced in special sizes on request – the S75 model can be repositioned with a forklift truck. Talky is also designed so that individual parts can be repaired or replaced.
