Have you seen our new Warsaw showroom? To demonstrate the potential of our adaptable office products in the most authentic way, we decided to create it in the most fitting location: our new office. 

Seamlessly integrated with our new office, our Warsaw showroom is living proof that workspace design can be both adaptable and sustainable. The space features the best we have to offer: an inspiring mix of Mute Modular units, our newly introduced Modular Pods, and the well-known, budget-friendly Jetson office pods.

Altogether, there are 17 functional zones, giving an inspiring impression of the multifunctionality that can be achieved with our products—collaboration areas, meeting spaces, office pods for calls or focused work, and even coffee points and copy corners. Each space is fully reconfigurable and can be changed multiple times, without high costs, effort, or emissions.

The office and showroom functions blend together, giving our team more spaces to work from and allowing us to present our products in a natural, organic way.

“We wanted our showroom to be a living space, not just a boring product display. The goal was to showcase our products organically in the surroundings that allow us to demonstrate all their functionalities and adaptable features,” says Paweł Panek, architect at Mute and co-designer of the space.

We are proud to introduce our newest product innovation: Modular Pods—our latest pod family and, as far as we know, the largest and first truly adaptable pod collection on the market.


With an unparalleled variety of sizes, unlimited customization options, and cutting-edge accessibility solutions, we believe our new pod family represents the biggest leap forward in pods… since pods were invented.

What makes Modular Pods so unique? Let’s take a closer look at the three most remarkable features:

30 Pods, 11 Sizes: The More, the Merrier

Pods have already become the essential element of modern workspaces. Still, despite being on the market for 10 years, they haven’t changed much. Acoustic parameters have improved, new colors are available, and designers regularly introduce new design variations.
Yet one thing hasn’t changed—most pod families still offer only 3 to 6 sizes, with a single limited interior setup and no option for reconfiguration. We believe that with such limitations, it’s impossible for a pod to fit seamlessly into every office layout and meet all requirements for functionality and style.

That’s why Modular Pods offer 30 unique models in 11 sizes. With size increments of just 0.5 meters, they adapt easily to any office layout, making the most of every square meter.

ModularPods-Launch-2

Unmatched Customization, Changeable Functionality

The collection of 30 pods is just the starting point. Modular Pods offer configuration possibilities that go far beyond any other pod family, which typically includes only a few color options and a limited set of accessories.
The innovative, modular-based, customizable wall layout lets you choose between solid, transparent, or semi-transparent wall types and configure them as needed, including door placement, allowing you to define the appearance and functionality of the pod.

At the same time, a dedicated furniture system—including modular sofas, tables, height-adjustable desks, and wall-mounted accessories—allows each pod to be arranged and rearranged as freely as a traditional meeting room. For the first time, the same pod model can serve as a private focus zone, a collaborative huddle space, or a hybrid meeting area—depending on how it's configured.

The Industry’s First Accessible Pod System

Let’s be honest: creating separate, “special” pods for people with mobility impairments can reinforce exclusion. Why shouldn’t everyone access all office spaces?

That’s why, instead of creating a "dedicated pod" for people with mobility impairments, we set out to create the first accessible, ADA/DDA-compliant office pod collection, with inclusive solutions applied across the entire system.

As a result, every Mute Modular Pod comes with barrier-free access, no flooring, an accessible threshold, and a set of inclusive solutions like height-adjustable tables and shelves. Plus, thanks to the wide range of furniture, each pod can be arranged to leave enough space for everyone.

Combining an unparalleled variety of options, limitless customization, and industry-first accessibility, our new pod collection sets a new benchmark for what office pods can achieve. Check all models here, and witness the start of the adaptable office pod era.

Office spaces have constantly changed, adjusting to new ways of working. Why is adaptability the next big thing in never ending office (r)evolutions?

The following article is part of "Adaptable Workspaces," our recent insight book on adaptable office architecture. The entire document is available here.

1906 was a turning point in the history of work. The Larkin Administration Building, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and considered the first "modern" office, opened. Since then, office spaces have never stopped evolving. 

The idea of the contemporary workspace, in function and design, has been regularly redefined to meet the demands and trends of the day. In Wright’s project, the Larkin Administration Building, workers sat side-by-side in lines of desks which were then surrounded by managers. 

This idea was soon replaced by the "Burolandschaft" ("Office Landscape") concept, where team members were placed in more organic patterns without evident hierarchism to foster cooperation and communication. The "Office Landscape" provided a sense of equality, but caused trouble with noise and lack of privacy. Cubicles were introduced to address these issues, but this resulted in isolating office workers inside a depressing and monotonous maze of identical cubes.

Herman Miller's Office Cubicles

To disrupt the monotony and claustrophobia of the cubicle, the open-plan office concept emerged. Extensive, borderless spaces became all the rage and made cubicle-filled offices feel dull and obsolete. The open plan was perceived as an inspirational space for a short time, especially after tech companies like Google and Facebook reinvented their HQs this way. Yet, the old, well-known issues of noise and lack of privacy came back and became especially troubling when people got used to a particular level of calm and focus they enjoyed with remote work.

With hybrid work becoming the new trend, people now visit the office only a few times a week, mainly to meet, chat, and collaborate. Hybrid meetings, often with virtual participants, are also on the rise. These shifts have made privacy and well-being more critical than ever, rendering noisy, chatty open floor plans as outdated as cubicles were a decade ago.

Predictions for the Office's Future

So here we go again, looking for a new modern office concept that finally caters to today's needs and the challenges of tomorrow. What will the modern workplace look like? First of all, it needs to reflect recently evolved lifestyles (like working from home and the growing importance people associate with their well-being), technological trends (growing number of video calls), and business needs (downsizing offices). 

Secondly, It will always continue changing. Changes will be more frequent, more radical, and even unexpected. Who would have thought five years ago that today, 22 percent of the American workforce (32.6 million employees) would work remotely? 

Finally, It has to be more sustainable and adaptable. When 40 percent of waste worldwide and 38 percent of CO2 emissions come from the construction industry, and 90 percent of the United States’ young workforce is concerned about climate change, the office design industry has to reinvent itself.

Key Principles of Adaptability

Famous architect, Carl Elefante famously said "the greenest building is... one that is already built." The same is true with offices. The keyword that defines what the office needs to be today and in the future is "adaptable." Offices must be able to respond to changing needs and circumstances over time and adapt to their users promptly and with little effort.

This concept emphasizes flexibility, resilience, and sustainability in architectural office design. Adaptable architecture can involve various elements such as modular construction, movable partitions, flexible layouts, and smart technologies that allow spaces to be reconfigured or repurposed as required. What are the key principles of adaptability?

Flexibility involves designing spaces that can be quickly reconfigured to meet different needs and requirements.

Modularity refers to the design principle that breaks a system into smaller, interchangeable components or modules, often prefabricated. This approach allows for easier modification, scaling, and maintenance of a system. 

Sustainability is about creating buildings that can adapt to changing conditions while minimizing environmental impact and resource consumption over their life cycle.

What Does It Mean the Office is Adaptable?

Adaptability refers to a space's ability to effectively accommodate its evolving needs and maximize its value for users over time. A genuinely adaptable office must meet five specific conditions: adjustable, versatile, convertible, scalable, and moveable. These conditions are proposed by Robert Schmidt and Simon Austin in their book Adaptable Architecture: Theory and Practice. Schmidt and Austin applied these conditions to buildings, but the majority of them can also be applied to office architecture.

Adjustable means the furniture, equipment and space is easily and frequently transformed to accommodate changing tasks. For example, an open lounge area can be transformed into a brainstorming room thanks to moveable walls and detachable elements.

Versatile relates to the capacity to change the spatial layout to allow for variations in activities, teams, organizational approaches, etc. For example, the conference room could be expanded by merging with other spaces to host more people at once. Or it can be divided to host several smaller meetings at the same time.

Convertible refers to the ability of a space to be repurposed and permanently modified to serve different functions.

Scalable  relates to changing size: adding or taking away space horizontally or vertically. It means some office fit-outs can be expanded, reshaped, or shrunk with ease. For example, modular office furniture systems allow users to reconfigure their dimensions using the same components simply by adding or taking away modules.

Moveable assumes office fit-out is easy to disassemble, transport, and reassemble in another place thanks to durable but lightweight components and an easy assembly system

As Schmidt and Austin write, "Every building is adaptable – but  to what end and what cost?" With offices, it's similar: the less time and cost it takes to adapt the office to users' needs, the more frequently they can be transformed and, therefore, more accurately respond to current expectations. More traditional solutions like drywalls are often not economically viable. Therefore, we need to do what we can to popularize solutions and ways that make adaptability both sustainable and profitable.

Check out our most exciting moments from the last 12 months.

5 new showrooms and pop-up spaces 

The best way to understand the benefits of office adaptability is to see it in action. That’s why we’ve been expanding our network of showrooms and pop-up spaces, adding five new cities to the list.

We recently opened the Mute Showroom in Düsseldorf. Over the past few months, we have showcased Mute Modular units and Jetson pods at pop-up spaces in Paris, Brussels, Lyon, and Frankfurt.

Our plans for 2025 are even more ambitious—stay tuned!

Fast Company recognition 

Mute Modular continues its recognition streak. After receiving 7 awards and nominations in 2023 (in such honorable competitions as Dezeen Awards, Best Of NeoCon, or Mixology’23), we were honored by Fast Company, one of the world’s most popular businesses and innovation. Their “Innovation by Design Awards” promote projects and game-changing ideas with “a spark of ingenuity.” 

Our adaptable room-in-room system received an honorable mention in the “Workplace Desing” Category among such remarkable brands as Booking.com, Tidal, and L’Oreal. Even more remarkable is that Mute Modular was the only interior design product in the category dominated by office projects. It’s so rewarding to see our innovation appreciated again!

ESG-Report-Tab

The First ESG Report 

From the very beginning, sustainability has been at the heart of activity, so publishing our first comprehensive ESG report was a monumental step.

The document is the effect of several months of intensive research and editorial work of our team. It presents our emissions data, initiatives to minimize environmental impact throughout our production process, and governance practices ensuring ethical business operations. 

It was meticulous work—but absolutely worth it! If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out here while we’re already gearing up for the next edition!

Expanding and automatization of our factory 

Every time our partners and clients revisit our production plant, they are amazed at how quickly it’s expanding and changing. The latest expansion project started at the beginning of the year and is now close to finishing with a footprint twice as big as when it started! 

In the new space, we constructed an automatic assembly line for prefabricated modules used in Jetson pods and the Mute Modular system. This will soon allow us to shorten the delivery time for our two major product lines.

Spreading the word on adaptable design

This year, we set a new record by participating in 13 industry events in six cities across two continents. At each event, we shared the message of adaptable design, showcasing its potential to architects, designers, real estate managers, and investors.

Clerkenwell Design Week was a particular highlight. We invited Dr. Robert Schmidt III—head of the Design Research Lab at Loughborough University and author of Adaptable Architecture: Theory and Practice—to deliver an inspiring speech on adaptability. It was thrilling to see our showroom packed with engaged attendees eager to explore the future of adaptable design.

What’s more, we finished the year by publishing “Adaptable Workspace,” the first comprehensive report on adaptability in office design. It describes the principles, examples, and benefits of this revolutionary design approach.

Making office design more adaptable – one workspace at a time 

In 2024, we continued improving our room-in-room office system, starting with a series of technical upgrades, introducing a dedicated team of architect consultants, and launching a new “For Professionals” section on the Modular website. Packed with useful materials, it simplifies the process of designing Modular units. In the meantime, we even did a little rebranding project to align the product’s name more closely with its core benefits.

It was also the first full year with Mute Modular in our portfolio—an ideal time to reflect on how far we’ve come in advancing the adaptable office revolution. To make a long story short, over the past 12 months, we reshaped more than 400 offices in 33 countries with our adaptable office solutions, soundproof pods, and acoustic panels. Among our proudest achievements are collaborations with leading brands that set the standard in workplace design, including Meta, LinkedIn, Disney, Gensler, AstraZeneca, Barclays Bank, Sanofi, and Lidl.

And this is just the beginning—we’re only getting started!
