The partnership places adaptable workplace design at the center of a practical conversation: how can offices evolve with their users while retaining their value over time?

Mute is a pioneer in adaptable office architecture, developing modular solutions that help organizations plan for changing workplace needs. Founded in 2016, the company began with acoustic pods and has since expanded its approach to the design of flexible office environments.

Modular office architecture designed for change

Mute’s flagship system, Mute Modular, brings pods, meeting rooms, hubs, lounge areas and partitions together within one adaptable architectural system.

Built around interchangeable components, these spaces can be expanded, divided or reconfigured as teams, activities and space requirements change. For architects, interior designers and workplace leaders, this creates opportunities to accommodate future needs within the original design.

The approach also connects adaptability with sustainability. Design for disassembly and replaceable components support reuse and repair, helping extend the useful life of workplace interiors and reduce waste associated with repeated renovations.

Mute Modular has received 10 design and innovation awards, including the Fast Company World Changing Ideas Award, and supports workplaces for organizations including Meta, LinkedIn, L’Oréal and Disney.

Bringing Mute’s perspective to New York

As Adaptability Partner, Mute brings its perspective on evolving office environments to Design at Work New York, joining a community exploring the ideas, materials and solutions shaping the future of workplace design.

Commenting on the partnership, Mute said:

“We’ve been part of Media10’s fantastic events across Europe, including Clerkenwell Design Week. We know the quality and energy they bring to every event, so we’re confident that Design at Work New York will be a success too.

“We look forward to sharing Mute’s perspective on office architecture and adaptability, and connecting with inspiring professionals from across the industry.”

The partnership reflects a shared interest in workplaces that can respond to change, with adaptability informing space planning, material choices and the long-term performance of an interior.
