By balancing interaction, privacy, and acoustic comfort, Hushoffice and BuzziSpace transform schools and learning spaces into environments where focus and collaboration go hand in hand.
Haworth: Step into any bustling school and learning spaces, and you’ll hear it—the chatter of students, the scrape of chairs, the occasional burst of laughter echoing down the hallway. It’s the vibrant soundtrack of learning, but when noise becomes overwhelming, it quickly turns into a barrier. This is why acoustic comfort is not optional—it is a fundamental element of effective learning environments.
A learning space with good acoustics significantly enhances concentration by reducing distractions, allowing students to absorb and process information more effectively. For students with hearing impairments or learning difficulties, acoustic-friendly spaces make learning more accessible and inclusive. Moreover, lower noise levels create a calmer environment, reducing stress and fatigue, which ultimately leads to a more productive and enjoyable learning experience.
Ideal for schools and learning spaces, Hushoffice pods provide a controlled environment that reduces audio and visual distractions.
Haworth offers the perfect solutions for better learning environments with Hushoffice and BuzziSpace—two product series designed to transform noisy, distracting classrooms or lecture halls into spaces where students can truly focus.
Hushoffice pods provide much-needed quiet in the bustling school or learning environment. Whether it’s the hushMeet cabin for group discussions, tutoring, or project work, or the hushPhone and hushHybrid for private study and video calls, these pods create an oasis of calm. The hushAccess.L wheelchair-accessible booth ensures accessibility for all students, including those with mobility needs. More than just soundproof booths, these pods are carefully designed with adjustable lighting and ventilation, making them ideal for neurodivergent students who need controlled spaces to stay focused and comfortable.
BuzziBooth acoustic workstations recreate privacy in open spaces, offering students a moment of peace and quiet.
For schools and learning spaces looking to enhance both quiet zones and collaboration spaces, BuzziSpace provides a range of stylish, sound-absorbing furniture that blends function with design. The BuzziHub, designed in collaboration with Alain Gilles, creates cosy alcoves for students to recharge or catch up with friends without the usual background noise. The BuzziPicNic table fosters group study sessions, while the BuzziCube and BuzziMilk Table introduce comfortable, Me & We Spaces that encourage interaction without amplifying sound. Adding on to the collection, the BuzziShield Hook, a reconfigurable acoustic divider, helps learning spaces adapt their layouts while keeping noise under control, allowing spaces to shift between open-plan learning and quiet study zones effortlessly.
