Sound Down, Design Up with MPS!

contract office marketing

Making Privacy Simple has pioneered the pairing of acoustic paneling and white noise, also known as the ABC’s of sound masking. (That’s Absorb, Block + Cover if you’re new to the game!)  Since their voyage to a new manufacturing facility last year, their product offering has grown exponentially with new designs, expanded color offerings, and incredible manufacturing times!

Custom acoustic solutions by MPS can reshape and bring any type of workspace to life.  MPS Acoustic Panels are the energy that inspires, improving the aesthetic environment while providing significant sound absorbing benefits.

Every one of the dozens of custom and standard shapes and designs of MPS panels can dampen and diffuse mid- to high-frequency sound waves, helping to reduce distracting noise, echo and reverb, and enhance acoustic privacy.

MPS Acoustic Panels provide beautiful, colorful, versatile separation and space design.  These panels are easily disinfected, eco-friendly, and tackable.  Applications range from desk dividers to room dividers, ceiling baffles on any ceiling type, or applied wall or desk space where color, energy, and visual and acoustic privacy will make a difference.

Here are a few of our favorites!

contract office marketing

We see that work environments with natural elements lead to a higher level of well being and productivity, which is an important consideration for business in terms of responsibility to its employees and its own bottom line.  By embracing biophilic design, Honey workspace furniture addresses the needs of individual users, their varied work styles, privacy and of course, well-being.

The space-efficient 120 degree planning grid creates a flowing geometry that meanders through a room with endless possibilities for configuring the workspace.  Honey panels are soft and rounded with compound curved surfaces.  The panel height of 55″ gives the right amount of visual and sound privacy without overwhelming the space.

Honey offers open and closed collaborative zones, meeting spaces, lounge, or desking in sitting, standing, or height adjustable, adapting to the way you work.  In addition to work space, Honey has a collection of storage and lounge products that compliment the soft lines of the workspace furniture.  Thoughtfully designed, this collection integrates an open base with height adjustable bases integrated into the panel promoting a light feeling and tidy lines.

All of the above materials can also be added to the Symmetry mobile pedestals to coordainate your whole space from seating to screens.
