Silence with style.
SPOT, the most compact model from the latest GEN4 product line, has been awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2025 in the Product Design category. This next generation of acoustic pods brings together advanced technology and top-tier design — the result of a close collaboration between SilentLab and architects Vojtěch Kaas and Jan Kalivoda from PROGRES architekti. They successfully translated groundbreaking technical features into a form that is clean, functional, and aesthetically refined.
"Design should create atmosphere, not just seek attention," explains Jan Kalivoda. "With acoustic products, this is especially challenging because you must balance technical requirements with aesthetic lightness."
"SilentLab entrusted us with the freedom to dive deep and rethink the creation of workspaces. We didn’t just focus on appearance but approached the entire concept of the pod — how it feels inside, what users perceive subconsciously. This openness to collaboration allowed us to develop a design that is simple yet meticulously thought through in every detail," adds Vojtěch Kaas.
Red Dot again. And beyond.
With this award, SilentLab builds on its success from 2019, when the previous generation of its acoustic pod received the same prestigious recognition. Successfully defending a Red Dot with the same product — albeit technologically and aesthetically elevated — is extremely rare.
"We don’t see this award as a final chapter but rather as another step forward," says Jaroslav Vendl, founder of SilentLab. "Our new GEN4 range is the result of years of development during which we listened carefully to our customers, tested new technologies, and pushed beyond conventional ideas about office space. We are proud that we have been able to take an already award-winning concept even further."
Shape your space to fit your needs
The GEN4 range is designed for the modern work environment. Thanks to the office landscaping concept, each pod easily adapts to any space and creates a functional zone for focused work, quick calls, or moments of calm within a busy office.
Exceptional design for exceptional calm.
"In our latest range, we achieved the perfect balance between technical performance and maximum user comfort. We have created a space that enhances productivity while simultaneously promoting regeneration," adds Jan Kaňka, SilentLab’s co-founder and chief acoustician.
Through this achievement, SilentLab has confirmed that even in the dynamic world of offices, silence holds its place — and it can come with exceptional design.
