A space that helps concentration
Zero stress
Noise is often a stressor and in order to hear yourself think, it is important to design a space that provides a balanced sound level. Indeed, above 45 decibels, attention and short-term memory deteriorate. Our brains, programmed to interpret our environment and interact with it, listen in spite of themselves to conversations and noises and then interrupt the course of their reflections.
Without having to completely erase the noise, it is important to provide the necessary acoustic comfort thanks to absorbent panels placed on the wall or on partitions. Choose the acoustic panels for walls or mobile boards from the Mondi or Tipi collection. Sometimes a writing, display and projection surface, sometimes an acoustic partition, these boards combine the useful with the pleasant while integrating diverse and varied textures and colors. Partitions also help eliminate visual distractions.
100% well-being

A source of good humor, plants also have strong psychological power. Providing a more welcoming and calming work environment, it helps increase productivity, reduce stress and stimulate creativity. So add a touch of green to your Mondi Gallery or Muse with stabilized lichen, which does not need light or watering.
