The first Kohlbecker building was called „The Human Factory“. Because Karl Kohlbecker wanted to ensure that a good quality of life does not end at the factory gates. That‘s a kind thought. And an entrepreneurial one: because when people feel comfortable, everything runs better. Quality increases, processes become faster, the work succeeds.
No compromises have been made in the equipment of each individual desk workstation. All components are individually adaptable to humans. Due to the special geometry of the desk, very advantageous workplace groupings result. The offset of the tables to each other is very pleasant. Direct counterparts are avoided. Instead, harmoniously spacious rooms are created between the desks.
In this article we present ideas for a new post-Covid office concept. The starting point is that in the future it is likely that 30-50% will work from home in the home office. This means that the workplaces in the office are only partially occupied, which reduces the attractiveness of the office in the company and can lead to a drop in performance. The aim is therefore to increase the attractiveness of the offices in the company with low occupancy and to create alternative collaborative areas that at the same time offer work opportunities for temporary overcrowding in the office. In contrast to the well-known meeting islands and relaxation zones, we would like to favor active ergonomics in the new "3rd places" with this concept.
Active ergonomics is e.g. known from HAG Capisco and HAG moving sitting. Articles about sitting high and sitting in an open position are also available here: https://www.vital-office.de/burostuhle
This was implemented in the form of so-called ponies. Mobile upholstered stool in 2 heights and 2 different lengths. This makes it possible to design flexible and changeable seating landscapes. The imagination knows no limits.
With regard to video presentations, telephone calls and absolute silence, it is necessary to use completely shielded room units (boxes), especially in smaller offices. A purely sound-absorbing acoustic measure in the room is not enough to bring the necessary quiet into partially open cabins. Sound absorption increases speech intelligibility, which in turn minimizes concentration. In this planning concept, therefore, soundproofed rooms were planned in room boxes. To increase the attractiveness of the 3rd places collaboration, 2 boxes were also planned.
The customer intends to furnish a new office building with new equipment. A new concept is to be developed that is suitable for optimally designing office operations under the new conditions after Covid19.
A remarkable acoustic optimized school project. Through professional consultation by Delhom acoustique the classrooms and corridors have large sound absorbing surfaces. Besides the ceiling, at least 1 wall was made with vitAcoustic wall absorbers.
Nicely integrated in the overall bamboo design by gmp · International GmbH (Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner).
The target was, that the kids can calm down and concentrate better in a quite and sound optimized acoustic environment. Whoever will visit this school will hear the difference and will want to sit down for a while and relax.
This project has been a challenge for our teams, because of the very very short delivery time for 3 floors, 30x classrooms with corridor and classroom inbuilt furniture, receptions desks, library, kitchen furniture, water dispenser, acoustic flower pots in PAC and much more.

Fragrant real hay, hay flowers and mosses applied directly to vitAcoustic absorber plates. Another versatile way of experiencing real natural products with all senses (seeing, touching, smelling). The special patented preservation and coating method opens up completely new design options. And the vitAcoustic natural-coated absorber plates can be used in all vitAcoustic applications, such as 3d frames, acoustic roller shutter cabinets, panel curtains for room division and flexible partitions and partitions. Made to measure: natural elements transparent or semi-transparent on colored vitAcoustic absorber plates. Design your individual acoustic nature picture with the 19 vitAcoustic colors and real hay, hay flowers and moss. You can choose between opaque and transparent. For projects, we also offer individual adjustments, eg semi-transparent. Very individual ideas can be implemented by coating the panels with various genuine natural materials such as hay, hay flowers and moss.
Hervorragende Dämmeigenschaften sowohl diffusionsoffene Wärmedämmung und A-Klasse Schall Absorption sind hier zu einem Doppelnutzen kombiniert. Dazu kommt die optisch schöne und hochwertige dekorative Gestaltung mit 19 verschiedenen Farben und vielen eingravierten Texturen. Darüber hinaus kann auch eine individuelle Bedruckung besondere Akzente setzten.
Wahlweise mit Holzfaser Dämmplatten oder absolut emissionsfreien PET Dämmplatten im Verbund mit dekorativer vitAcoustic Fliesenplatte.
Die Fertigung erfolgt auf Maß, so dass vor Ort kein Zuschnitt notwendig ist und daher auch kein Dreck vor Ort entsteht. Damit ist auch eine schnelle Verlegung, bzw. Montage gewährleistet.

In order for a room acoustic measure to be calculated and assessed realistically, well-founded acoustic physical basic knowledge and practical experience is appropriate. In particular, the initial values of reality must be determined accordingly. For sensitive areas, the measurement should be carried out professionally by an acoustic expert. Alternatively, at least a provisional measurement should be performed with a phone app repeatedly. The provisional measurement serves only as a guideline for the selection of the room materials and their absorption coefficients in the acoustic calculator. Basically, any calculation without professional measurements of the initial situation is hypothetical!
Example:
Low frequencies are absorbed differently than high frequencies. Glass surfaces (Windows) or a normal office cabinet made of chipboard in different thicknesses, when you hit the resonance of the deep tones, can act for the low frequencies absorbing. However, a correct calculation is hardly possible due to the lack of measured data of the objects. On the basis of a measurement, special depth absorbers (vibrating resonators) need to be specifically set.
The calculations are based on measured data from objects and materials. Some of these are listed in the DIN 18041 exemplary. Others are taken from various sources for their correctness and conformity with the actual existing object or material there is no guarantee.
Fast alles ist möglich mit unseren VitAcoustic® cassettes. Geringes Gewicht, 1,9kg/m², Brandschutz B1 und leichte Montage zeichnen unser Material aus. Durch Excenterbefestigung ist eine Millimetergenaue Ausrichtung gewährleistet.
Testimonial: Das ist wirklich sehr gelungen, und der Kunde ist voll zufrieden. Sieht gut aus, Besten Dank für die tolle Arbeit. Die Montage verlief einfach, alles wurde in ca. 4 Std. montiert, inkl. den grossen Wandabsorber.
