Care information

Fabric Care Instructions

Felt and upholstery should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with water and, if necessary, using mild cleaning agents. Dilute the cleaning agent with water according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and apply it to the soiled areas with a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use agents containing alcohol, acetone, bleach or other solvents. In case of heavy contamination, use mild soap or a special upholstery cleaning agent. Avoid scratching, pressing, or rubbing the cleaned surface to prevent damage to its structure.

Metal Components

Wipe exterior walls and other metal components with a cloth dampened with a mild all-purpose cleaning agent. Do not use agents containing alcohol, acetone or other solvents. After cleaning, wipe all surfaces dry.

Glass

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the glass. Remove heavier contamination with liquid without ammonia.

System Furniture

Use a soft, dampened cloth for system furniture care. If soiling is heavy, soak the cloth in liquid or a mild furniture cleaning agent. Any whiteboard should be cleaned regularly with a special dry-erase cleaner, at least once a week or more often, depending on how often it is used.

Lighting
Hanging lamps and LED lighting should be wiped with a dry cloth, taking special care to avoid accidental damage or scratching.

Description

Every office has the same shortage: somewhere for three or four people to sit down together without booking a meeting room a week in advance. The se:hive Diner answers it in the simplest way possible — two generously upholstered benches facing each other across a proper working table, wrapped in soft acoustic panels that hold the noise in and the office out.

It borrows its shape from the best table in any restaurant: the corner booth, where people naturally settle in and talk. Except this one is engineered for work. The bench sits at 450 mm and the table at 740 mm, giving you the same posture you’d get at a desk — so laptops open, notebooks come out, and a quick catch-up can turn into two hours of real work without anyone’s back complaining.

Available as a 4-seater or 6-seater, with or without an add-on top section, se:hive Diner drops into your existing floor plan as easily as a new-build scheme — no walls, no ductwork, no planning permission.

se:Hive Diner Four-Person Acoustic Surround Collaboration Booth

One booth, three jobs

Most furniture does one thing. Booth seating this well-proportioned quietly does three:

Informal meetings — the stand-in meeting room for teams who need to talk now, not at 3pm on Thursday.

Focused group work — desk-height table and supportive backrests make it genuinely workable for a long session, not just a ten-minute huddle.
Relaxed conversation — one-to-ones, interviews, lunch, the conversations that go better away from a desk.

That flexibility is the argument for booth seating over a fixed meeting pod: it earns its floor space all day rather than sitting empty between bookings.

Why semi-enclosed booth seating works in open plan

Zoning without walls — se:hive Diner visually divides open space and large floors into legible zones, giving structure and a calmer atmosphere to the office landscape.

Real acoustic benefit — fabric-covered elements absorb sound, creating a quieter pocket within a noisy open plan and containing the conversation happening inside it.

Open, not sealed — the semi-enclosed form keeps the booth naturally lit and ventilated, so nobody feels shut in and you avoid the cost and servicing of a fully enclosed pod.

Sizes and shapes to suit the space — different configurations, plus supplementary angled elements, let you plan anything from a single booth to a flowing landscape of connected retreats.

Part of a system — se:hive Diner sits alongside the wider se:hive family, so individual booths scale up into whole-space solutions combining private retreats and open collaboration areas.

FAQs

What is booth seating in an office?

Office booth seating is a semi-enclosed unit combining upholstered bench seats with an integrated table and acoustic side panels. It creates a defined, partly screened space for meetings and group work inside an open plan office — without the walls, cost or servicing requirements of a built meeting room or a fully enclosed pod.

How many people does the se:hive Diner seat?

It's available as a 4-seater or a 6-seater, with two facing benches. Angled elements let you combine booths into larger arrangements.

Can you actually work in it, or is it just for breaks?

You can work in it properly. The 450 mm bench and 740 mm table give the same working height relationship as a standard desk and chair, which is what separates se:hive Diner from low-slung breakout seating that becomes uncomfortable after twenty minutes.

Does it reduce noise?

Yes. The fabric-covered elements absorb sound, providing both visual and acoustic screening — quieter for the people inside, and less disruptive for the people working nearby. As semi-enclosed booth seating it reduces noise rather than soundproofing completely; for confidential calls, see our enclosed office pods.
