Office furniture
A global leader in office furniture and modern workplaces.
Mute is a European brand focused on acoustics and flexible spatial solutions for modern offices. Since its founding in 2016, it has explored how to create enough privacy, quiet and space for both focus and collaboration in an open-plan workplace. Today, it develops systems that allow self-contained rooms to be created within an interior without the need for traditional partition walls.
Phone calls, video conferences and spontaneous meetings can disturb people working nearby. Mute therefore creates enclosed spaces that separate noisier activities from the main workplace while providing users with a place for uninterrupted work and communication.
Acoustics are addressed alongside other requirements for comfortable use of an enclosed space, such as ventilation, lighting and technology integration.
The result is self-contained work zones that can be added to an existing open-plan space without major alterations to the office as a whole.

Mute’s portfolio focuses primarily on acoustic and spatial solutions for modern workplaces:

One of the main differences compared with conventional partition walls is the ability to change the space in future. Traditional office layouts tend to be tied to a specific interior arrangement. Changes in staff numbers or ways of working therefore often lead to further building alterations.
Mute’s modular approach makes it possible to create more adaptable office infrastructure. Individual system components can be dismantled, reused and assembled in a new configuration. Mute therefore addresses more than acoustic comfort. Its systems can form part of the office layout planning itself.
