Whether you’re standing street-side or sitting in an open office, the din of ambient noise can be difficult to escape. Those who can’t fully separate themselves from the site of intrusive sounds can nonetheless find temporary relief thanks to designer Nick Ross’s portable privacy booth. Aptly named Confession, the piece creates a semi-enclosed, sound-absorbing space wherever it is placed. The two-sided booth allows for truly private one-on-one conversation, but also provides a respite for individuals who want to sip their morning coffee in solitary silence. While not quite as comprehensive as full-on sensory deprivation, Confession offers a decent compromise to those who find themselves in a noisy bind.
