Offcoustic IV

Direct

• Promotion of responsible production: production is based on demand, not scale. Offcoustic intends to implement a circular economy flow in which they own the fleet of booths and thus, invest in its maintenance, to keep them functioning the longest period possible. 262 booth units in total have been installed or booked.
• Incentive to local economy: production happens in Portugal, working with Portuguese carpenters, and using mostly Portuguese materials.

Indirect

• Offset of carbon footprint: Offcoustic pledges to plant trees for every booth unit produced. Until now, Offcoustic has already financed the planting of 8,000 trees, which you can check out here. Offcoustic is partnering with a project in Lousã, in central Portugal, to continue the carbon footprint offset by planting trees.

WITHOUT HURRY, LDA is the company behind Offcoustic. It emerged in 2020 to launch its line of affordable Phone Booths. These booths are produced in Portugal, with sustainable processes, to create spaces for calls and video calls in open-space offices and companies or coworking spaces.

The promoter has expanded its operations in Portugal, Spain, UK, USA, Germany, Malta, Croatia and Gibraltar.

Although it is not possible to find a completely ecological solution for production, the company is moving in this direction with Tree Planting, choosing the right materials, local production, and optimizing transport.

Today, Offcoustic:

• finances the production of Trees in Portugal and some African countries through the Brynk.eco platform.
• only produces according to orders;
• Uses Felt made in Portugal (acoustic material used in the automotive industry, from reused materials).
• Produces in Portugal, in Vendas Novas. 

Since its first campaign in January 2022, Offcoustic has experienced growing adoption and demand from coworking spaces, SMEs and startups (visit the website and read the testimonials).  

Its "Phone Booth as a Service" model is particularly appealing because of the flexibility it offers. With more than 120 units installed or in production for this Subscription model. In addition, Offcoustic continues to sell booths to customers interested in purchasing the product directly.

"We believe that less is more, in transparency and good quality of life. We want to work asynchronously, in diverse teams, bringing generalists and specialists together." Rodrigo.
