Contemporary open-plan workspaces are perfect for creativity and collaboration, but for those times when you need to take a step back, there’s bosselino.

Silence on demand: The bosselino mini-office blends seamlessly into contemporary, homely office interiors – thanks to high-quality details such as its glass door with solid wood frame as well colour customisation options

It may look a little like one of those fast-disappearing telephone boxes from the days before mobile phones, but that is where the comparison really ends. For one thing, neither coins nor prepaid cards are required for you to enjoy this retreat in the middle of the office. You can simply come in whenever things are getting hectic around you – to finish that complex task undisturbed, for example. bosselino is a mini office: for working, for telephone calls and video calls.

bosselino is the creation of German manufacturer Bosse, whose ‘Human Space’ division already offers several room-in-room systems. bosselino now complements the range with a clear focus on the feel-good factor and neat integration into contemporary, homely office interiors, as Bosse's managing director André Heuer explains.

Fade the background out while confidential conversations stay inside: On a floor space just under one sqm, bosselino offers space for concentration, telephoning and video meetings

The glass door of the mini-office is framed in solid wood. The outer walls are made of melamine-coated, wood-based panels, while the inner walls are constructed from an absorber material and covered with textile – ‘which ensures a pleasant reverberation time inside, while conversations remain confidential from those outside’ says Heuer.

Each of the boxes is based on a floor space of just under one sqm and is equipped with a storage table, wall bracket for placing smartphones or tablets during video calls, Jung electrical sockets, lighting and ventilation.

Inspired by nature, bosselino's ION cloud technology ensures pure air and a sense of well-being on request. Negative ions have a health-promoting effect and demonstrably neutralise viruses and bacteria

In addition to the standard version – black on the outside and grey on the inside – the Individual version offers a choice of eight colours for the outside walls and 20 textile colours on the inside. On request, Bosse can install its ION cloud technology. Here, negative ions – vitamins of the air – ensure that harmful particles in the air are deactivated and neutralised. This increases the ability to concentrate. Scientific studies confirm its effectiveness on a number of viruses and bacteria including influenza, corona and Staphylococcus aureus.

So, while the telephone box may be on the phase-out list, bosselino can be sure of demand – wherever agile working is on the agenda.
