* Grape Cozy has three ventilation settings. Even at full power, Grape Cozy is still quieter than most other phone booths. At the lowest speed, it is almost silent.

** The door is always the lowest common denominator when it comes to the sound insulation of quality phone booths. Grape Cozy features tempered 32 dB sound glass. This means that when the user speaks directly into the glass, the sound is reduced by 32 dB (both ways). When the phone booth is used correctly, speech is directed toward the side wall, which has a significantly higher sound insulation (also higher than the 30 dB often required as a standard).

A phone booth is a substantial piece of furniture to place in an office. At Grape, we believe it’s an advantage if phone booths don’t visually dominate their surroundings. With its exquisite organic materials in subdued colors and a design free of unnecessary details, Grape Cozy is our take on a phone booth that adds a touch of style to your office interior.

Superior Acoustics Inside and Out

Grape Cozy is soundproofed to ensure that conversations inside the booth do not disturb the surroundings and vice versa. Additionally, it is covered with sustainable, sound-absorbing materials, providing excellent speech intelligibility both inside and outside. Internally, the walls and ceiling are clad in 24 mm acoustic felt, while the exterior features 50 mm natural cork that enhances the acoustics of the surroundings.


The tabletop, crafted from a single piece of laser-cut aluminum, shares the design language and fine surface texture of the booth’s black steel frames.


The Scent of Cork

The peat-brown cork panels on the exterior of the Grape Cozy are made by compressing coarse granules of cork oak bark and steaming them with 350-degree hot water vapor. This process releases the cork’s natural binder (resin) and transforms it into a solid block that is then sliced into sheets. The process imparts a pleasant, toasted aroma and gives the cork its rich dark hue. However, much like the scent of a new car, the delightful cork smell will fade over time.


The Grape Cozy office phone booth features Knud Holscher’s d line door handle in black acid-resistant stainless steel. The sleek black finish, matching the other fittings, is achieved with a durable PVD charcoal treatment.


Thoughtful Ergonomic Design

When designing Grape Cozy, we drew on our extensive experience with office interiors since 2005. As a result, we paid particular attention to ergonomics, ensuring the tabletop has enough space for a 15" laptop with the screen tilted back. The tabletop can also be mounted on the wall at a height that suits your needs.



Why an Office Phone Booth is a Great Idea

Open-plan offices, where everyone can hear every conversation, significantly impact productivity and well-being*. Businesses with open offices must proactively address acoustic challenges. An office phone booth is perfect for taking calls without distracting others and vice versa, benefiting both productivity and well-being.

* More than 50% of people find it hard to concentrate in open offices (University of Sydney), you’re likely 15% less productive in open offices (BBC Capital), and open offices lead to a 12% higher risk of sick leave (Norwegian Institute of Occupational Health).



The Sustainability of the Grape Cozy phone booth

A key component of the Grape Cozy phone booth is natural cork. Since it is harvested by stripping the bark of cork oak trees every nine years without cutting them down, cork plantations act as giant lungs, absorbing millions of tons of CO2 annually, making cork production CO2-negative. Additionally, cork oak trees increase their CO2 absorption fivefold due to harvesting.

The cork used in the Grape Cozy phone booth comes from the outer layer of cork oak bark. The bark granules are tightly compressed under 350-degree water vapor. This process releases the cork’s natural binder, transforming the granules into a solid block that is then sliced into sheets. Thus, the peat-brown cork is a 100% pure and recyclable natural product.

The acoustic cradle-to-cradle certified felt inside the phone booth is made from at least 60% post-consumer plastic bottles. In fact, at least 475 discarded plastic bottles go into every Grape Cozy phone booth.

The core materials for the walls and ceiling are FSC-certified plywood and MDF.

Finally, the steel components are manufactured in Denmark under the strictest environmental regulations. Since steel is 100% recyclable, waste is minimized both during production and at the end of its life cycle many years down the line.
