Conradin Castell, the mute-labs founder and CEO, designed and developed the first mute-labs booth – a SOLO phone booth – himself with the help of a product designer. Today, the two of them, together with a wider team in Berlin, still design and discuss every detail of our booths. They pick materials and parts, they visit manufacturers, they test prototypes and iterations. Because the product really is the heart of mute-labs. With every mute-labs booth, you purchase attention to detail, focus on the essentials, and German precision.
As our products are produced and stored in Germany, we can deliver quickly anywhere in Europe. Delivery times start at just 2-3 weeks.
We have made sure each detail of our booths is exactly right from the very beginning. We visit manufacturers regularly to check the standard and make improvements.
The close proximity of materials, manufacturers and customers allows one of the biggest sustainability benefits: lower emissions through shorter transport distances. Combine that with our eco-friendly materials. The result: the booth with the lowest carbon footprint of them all.
Spare parts and information about the mute-labs booths are readily available. Even after the two-year warranty runs out, we can usually get spare parts swiftly.

Yes. With mute-labs, "Made in Germany" covers the entire process — not just assembly. Our booths are designed by our product team in Berlin, built from locally sourced materials and parts that meet strict German regulation standards, and manufactured in German factories. There are no shortcuts and no outsourced stages. Every booth that leaves our facility is a product of German design, German materials, and German manufacturing.
Because our materials, manufacturers, and storage facilities are all based in Germany, our supply chain is short and predictable. mute-labs SOLO phone booths ship with a standard delivery time of just 2–3 weeks to most European destinations — significantly faster than competitors who import finished products or components from Asia. Short supply chains also mean we can source spare parts quickly if anything is ever needed after delivery.
A German-made office phone booth offers four key advantages over imported alternatives: Quality: German manufacturing standards require strict material and production controls, resulting in a booth built to last with no compromises on finish or function. Speed: Local production and storage means delivery times of 2–3 weeks across Europe — faster than most competitors. Sustainability: Short distances between materials, factories, and customers significantly reduce transport emissions. Combined with eco-friendly materials, mute-labs booths carry one of the lowest carbon footprints in the category. Service: German-sourced parts are readily available even after the two-year warranty period, so your booth stays operational long-term without delays or sourcing complications.
Not with mute-labs. German-made typically commands a premium — but mute-labs sells directly to customers with no intermediaries, which removes the reseller margin that most competitors build into their pricing. A mute-labs SOLO phone booth starts at 2,990 €. Comparable booths from brands that manufacture abroad and sell through resellers typically cost between 5,000 € and 9,000 €. You get German quality at a price that's usually lower than the imported alternative.
