USM Modular Furniture as Manufacturers

Just the exterior view of the new company premises gives away what sector CTP Service GmbH works in. The front façade mimicking the navigation bridge of a mighty freighter welcomes visitors. Even in the interior, quite a few details hint at shipping. The fire-red original container doors unmistakably reveal the core business – the transportation of goods by water. In addition to the nautical items on display, it is the openings into the basement that are striking. Enclosed by a glass rail, these hatches provide a free view of the “deck” lying below – concretely, of additional workstations. As throughout the entire building, they are composed of white USM Haller shelving and black USM Haller linoleum tables. To optimize acoustics in the open office, some shelves are equipped with acoustic components. The vertical metal elements, the sides of the furniture facing workstations, are perforated and covered on the inside with sound-absorbing fleece. The acoustic functions are therefore integrated into the furnishings and, together with other measures such as the acoustic ceiling, reduce disruptive noise to a minimum. Acoustically, you should not feel like you’re in the engine room of a deep-sea freighter, despite the many visual suggestions.
