Steelcase family on the QT refreshed and launched


Steelcase, a global leader in innovative office solutions, recently announced that its best-selling product On the QT will be launched by Orangebox's Steelcase manufacturing plant in southern China.

On the QT is a groundbreaking office assembled telephone booth solution. It is a private telephone booth that supports quick calls, as well as a compartment for focused work or momentary thinking, creating an exclusive and convenient place between pursuing efficient space and comfortable work.

With the rise of remote work and hybrid work models, organizations in the Asia Pacific region are seeking flexible solutions to create a space that supports collaboration, focus, and rest functions. On the QT integrates these key elements into a multifunctional phone booth, enabling teams to work more efficiently in any environment.

The main features and advantages of On the QT include:


1. Designed for comfort

On the QT's unique beveled design - forming a sharp angle of 5 degrees, it serves multiple purposes, one of which is to maximize user comfort.

The unique beveled design increases the depth of the space, allowing the short phone booth to seamlessly be equipped with comfortable seats.

Comfortable and soft seat cushions and armrests, spacious flat work surfaces, and ergonomic lumbar support integrated with the backrest to support longer periods of focused work.

 

2. Tranquility and privacy

On the QT provides a perfect balance of acoustic comfort through the combination of sound absorption, sound insulation, and comfort.

The internal sloping surface can create comfort and privacy, reducing reverberation echoes between glass.

The internal wall design can block the propagation of sound, and the sturdy door frame maintains a comprehensive seal to prevent sound leakage.

 

3. Create a dedicated workspace

On The QT telephone booth is available in two sizes: short and high. Different specifications support users to flexibly choose and control, and can adapt to different work styles, allowing users to choose and create their own unique application scenarios.

On the QT can be created as a "neighborhood" group, arranged together and used for personal focus work, or as a "camp" group, moved together, allowing teams to collaborate or brainstorm.

Using both short and tall phone booths in space can intuitively convey the functions and duration of different phone booths to users.

 

 

4. Flexible installation and transportation

The assembly of On The QT is very convenient, it can be installed in 1 hour, and it is easy to transport. After assembly, simply remove the bottom cover plate and use a jack to place the pallet truck underneath, which can be easily moved to any place you want to go. Short telephone booths can be accessed through a 1-meter-wide doorway. The perfect design of convenient assembly and easy transportation can minimize interference with daily workflow to the greatest extent possible!

5. Adhere to industry standards

This solution manufactured in the Asia Pacific region meets various regional industry standards in terms of performance, quality, flammability, and safety. This includes ANSI/BIFMA, GB, EN 13501, ASTM E84, and IS12777, among others.
