Since the beginning of 2023, Cee Cee and Cee Cee Creative have been settling into wonderful new premises in Kreuzberg. The move happened quickly – so quickly that we have yet to install meeting room doors. That said, we aren’t short of privacy thanks to our two PersyOne cabins from Persy Booths that provide the perfect quiet space for Zoom Calls and Google Meets. We were initially put off by the idea of booths, but they’ve now become the new normal. Since we give our team total freedom as to whether they work in the office or from home, hybrid meetings are a constant – and at times problematic – part of the working day. With half the team sitting together in one room and perhaps just one person dialing in, things can get complicated. People forget to mute, creating a recipe for echoes and sound issues. The solution? Head into the booth! For us, the booth had to be square, practical, and soundproof. But as an agency with a focus on design, it also had to look good. In the end, we chose Persy Booths, a brand that was founded here in Berlin with headquarters in Mitte. The cabins are made in Lithuania, where co-founder Zygi is from. The brand specializes in creating all kinds of “private spaces”: in addition to the solo model, there are four-person cabins and, starting in March, one for two people.
All cabins are equipped with insulation and feature 80 percent recyclable materials. They weigh a hefty 300 kilograms, but they’re still mobile thanks to the casters that pop out when you want to shift it around. We didn’t make it easy for ourselves with the choice of cabin: we did a little competitor analysis and carefully weighed up the costs, sound insulation, ventilation and ease of delivery. Testing the PersyOne cabin, we were convinced by the matt finish, the slim, sleek handle and soft close mechanism. Made from solid wood (FSC-certified and tested for harmful substances), it really is a well thought-out design solution. We’ll be getting our third booth soon and we’re already looking forward to it, not least because it will have a dimmer switch to adjust the lighting. In short: a perfect video call on every level.
