TALKY S109 X PHONE BOX
Designed by Stephan Hürlemann, 2023
Talky is a freestanding interior element for office environments that can be flexibly outfitted inside and out for multifunctional use as a telephone booth, single office, mini-meeting room, small workshop and more.
A well-designed open office environment includes options for quiet retreat – for telephone calls, focused solo tasks, confidential conversations or to simply contemplate ideas. The soundproof pod Talky fulfils this very purpose.
Developed for Erich Keller AG by designer and architect Stephan Hürlemann, they are distributed by Vitra in the company‘s own range of textiles and colours. As Talky‘s exterior panels can additionally be equipped with pinboards, whiteboards, flipcharts, shelving, workstations, coat racks and plant trays, it also energises its immediate surroundings. Combined with the mobile Dancing Wall, also designed by Hürlemann, Talky contributes to the dynamic environment of open office landscapes.
Available in a selection of Vitra textiles for the inner and outer panels, Talky can be harmonised with diverse office settings as well as with other Vitra products. The interior fittings can be adapted to the respective use – making it possible to transform a single office into a minimeeting room or small workshop in a few simple steps.

DETAIL
