Meeting booth for 2 people: one booth for 2, 3 or 4

Choosing a booth for two people

Many offices need a quiet place for two: 1:1s, job interviews, feedback talks and client calls. The obvious option is a dedicated 2-person booth, often called a duo booth. A second option is a compact meeting booth that seats two comfortably but can also take three or four people.

mute-labs does not sell a separate duo booth. Its meeting booth is designed for 1 to 4 people, and many customers use it mainly for two. This article compares both approaches on size, features and price, so you can decide which suits your office.

How the meeting booth works for 2, 3 or 4 people

The mute-labs meeting booth has two benches facing each other across a table. How it is used depends on the number of people:

• 2 people: each person has their own 112 cm bench, with space for a laptop and notes.
• 3 people: two people share one bench. This suits a manager, an employee and HR, or a short working session.
• 4 people: both benches are shared and the table holds four laptops.

The booth can also serve as a private office for one person who needs a longer stretch of focused work.

How the size compares with Poddie Meet 2

The mute-labs meeting booth needs about 2.4 m² of floor space. That is only around 0.15 m² more than Poddie Meet 2, a dedicated 2-person booth.

The main differences:

• Width: the mute-labs meeting booth is 35 cm narrower, which makes it easier to place along a wall or between desks.
• Depth: it is 27.5 cm deeper. The extra depth makes room for a table between two benches and seats for two more people. Poddie Meet 2 is shallower, which suits narrow corridors and alcoves.
• Height: the mute-labs meeting booth is 9 cm lower.

In short, for about 6% more floor space, the meeting booth offers twice the seats.

What is inside the meeting booth

The interior measures 170 × 123 cm with 202 cm of headroom. Because it is equipped for four people, two users have more space than the minimum they need.

• Sound insulation: double walls with integrated absorbers and an 8 mm safety-glass door.
• Ventilation: 4 low-noise fans exchange the air in the booth every 60 seconds.
• Table: a solid oak table with room for up to four laptops.
• Power: 4 × 230 V sockets for laptops, a screen or a conference microphone.
• Video calls: even LED lighting for every seat and an optional monitor mount.
• Finish: a glass or felt back panel.

The booth is made in Germany from locally sourced materials.

Which booth fits which meetings

• 1 person: focused work, long video calls, a private office for the day
• 2 people: 1:1s, job interviews, feedback talks, client calls, pair work
• 3 people: HR conversations, onboarding, short working sessions
• 4 people: weekly team meetings, hybrid calls, small workshops

A duo booth covers the first two rows well and is the more compact choice when floor space is very tight. If meetings of three or four people also happen in your office, a meeting booth covers all four rows with one purchase and helps keep larger meeting rooms free.

Price, leasing and installation

The mute-labs meeting booth starts at €8,490 excl. VAT, with leasing from €198 per month over up to 60 months in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France and Belgium. Poddie Meet 2 starts at €7,400 excl. VAT, shipping and assembly.

• Installation: the mute-labs team delivers the booth to its spot in the office and sets it up. No construction work is needed.
• Delivery time: about 4 to 6 weeks after ordering.
• Warranty: 2 years from the manufacturer, with customer service support after the warranty ends.
• Relocation: the booth stands freely and can be moved without damaging rented offices.

Final prices depend on configuration, delivery and installation, so it is worth comparing complete offers. mute-labs has more than 40 showrooms in Europe where the meeting booth can be tested before buying.

Conclusion

A dedicated duo booth suits offices that will only ever need space for two. For teams that also meet in threes and fours, a meeting booth is the more flexible option. The mute-labs meeting booth needs only about 0.15 m² more floor space than Poddie Meet 2 and offers twice the seats.
