Qabin Collection

Nowadays, work environments are changing at a rapid pace. For some time now organisations have preferred more flexibility and more openness in their open office spaces. This allows greater connectivity, but also brings more distractions and stimuli. Especially now that video calls are on the increase in many organisations.

Your personal space in an open and flexible work environment.

Employees phone and video call external contacts and colleagues who may be working from home. It’s more pleasant for them to be able to do this in a space with good facilities. Somewhere where they can make calls and video calls without disturbing their colleagues. 

The Qabin collection is available in four standard versions:

Call – ideal for private phone calls or video conferences.

Chat – designed for efficient face-to-face meetings, private video conferences, or focused work, also available in the Focus version for maximum concentration.

Meet – the optimal solution for meetings for up to four people.

Meet XL – a more spacious version, suitable for meetings of up to six people.

Carefully selected color combinations and materials.

The interior of the Qabin collection is equipped with upholstered wall panels; you can choose from three different colors. The ceiling is finished in dark grey recycled PET felt. The floor is covered with dark grey recyclable carpet. These materials ensure acoustic dampening. The exteriors of the boxes are finished with high-quality powder coating: six colors are available. All details are finished in the same color to ensure a smooth overall appearance.

Ahrend Qabin Call and Chat can be equipped with a fabric cover on the outside, which provides a soft, homely look. The cover is available in various fabrics. By combining fabrics and colors, you can create a box that fits into your environment.

Comfort

Your own space in an open, flexible work environment. The Qabin Collection facilitates every activity: whether working with others or concentrating or video calling. When you enter a Qabin box, you immediately experience a sense of peace and quiet without feeling claustrophobic. The climate remains pleasant, in terms of acoustics and temperature, even after an extended period inside the Qabin.

Furthermore, Qabin promotes a healthy, active work posture. Being able to choose between sitting and standing at work keeps you on the move. This makes Qabin boxes ergonomic workspaces that promote vital and comfortable working.

Awarded with Red Dot Award 

The Qabin collection, designed by Marck Haans, was among the Red Dot winners. Its thoughtful design convinced the jury members, who awarded it the Red Dot Award Product Design 2022.

The Design Center of North Rhine-Westphalia the "Red Dot Design Award" for the best design achievements in all categories. The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world’s largest design competitions.

Making calls in an enclosed space creates a better balance in an open office environment

The Qabin Collection can be used to create separate spaces in an open working environment. Each box is a self-contained workspace, in which one or more employees can isolate themselves comfortably from the environment - to make video calls, collaborate with colleagues or just concentrate on their work. The Qabin Collection boosts creativity, improves focus and creates peace.

Working comfortably

When you step into a Qabin box you get an immediate sense of peace and quiet, but don't feel stifled. The acoustics and temperature are always pleasant, even when you remain there for extended periods. The ventilation is user-adjustable. The internal walls are fitted with removable upholstered panels, to prevent booming inside. These ergonomic boxes guarantee vitality and comfort in the workplace.

Unique ventilation system

Our years of experience in developing space-in-space solutions have led to an innovative ventilation system that ensures an optimum interior climate. We have developed a system that draws air in from the underside of the box and upwards via the walls, thanks to ventilators in the ceiling. The incoming air is always cooler, which provides a natural and cooling airflow. Spaces are warmed up by their users and electrical equipment like laptops. This ‘natural air-conditioning’ means that the interior space maintains a good temperature.

A sustainable solution

Designed to evolve with the times, the Qabin Collection offers a sustainable solution. The collection is built to enable easy upgrading or component replacement. The Qabin interior is flexible. It can be adapted to suit the activities it hosts. Right where it stands. To enable more flexibility in the workplace, the boxes can be easily repositioned using the (optional) wheels.
