Quality engineering and sustainable design

Framery pods have become the industry standard thanks to their A-Class soundproofing and world-class interior acoustics. With a relentless focus on quality engineering and sustainable design, every element — from structure to surface — is carefully considered to deliver long-lasting performance, acoustic comfort, and healthier workspaces.

Since 2021, Framery has partnered with Gabriel, whose high-performance, low-emission fabrics complete the signature look and feel of Framery interiors. Today, all Framery smart pods feature Gabriel’s sustainable textiles — carefully selected for their quality, durability, and visual warmth, while supporting the calm, balanced atmosphere Framery is known for.

That partnership now comes full circle at Gabriel’s Milan showroom — where a newly installed Framery Four provides a quiet, comfortable space for client meetings and focused work. Its light, modern design blends naturally into the open space, with soft, calming materials that create a feel-good atmosphere while keeping conversations and noise contained to the pod.

“Framery Four creates a room within a room – it’s a perfect space to retreat and focus in our open office space.”

The value of workplace acoustics

Today’s offices are louder and busier than ever, with open layouts, hybrid meetings, and constant interruptions making it harder to focus, communicate, and recover between tasks. Poor sound increases cognitive load, elevates stress, and leads to mental fatigue. That’s why thoughtful acoustic design is essential for creating healthier, more productive work environments.

“Acoustic performance is about more than isolation. It’s about creating comfort and clarity — how sound interacts with the space, how clearly it’s heard, and how it impacts the people inside.”
Henrik Ashorn
Product Director, Framery

That same principle drives the interior of Framery pods. The quality materials from Gabriel help Framery smart pods create an ideal acoustic environment for video calls, hybrid meetings, and face-to-face connection – providing focus and support for how people work today.

Acoustic comfort by design

The acoustic experience inside Framery smart pods is the result of intentional design at every level. From multi-layered wall structures to sound-absorbing surfaces, angled corners, and optimized seat placement, every detail works together to reduce echo, absorb speech frequencies, and support natural, balanced sound.

“The acoustic isolation, soft fabrics and calming colours work together to enhance the feel-good factor inside of Framery pods.”
Paola Monzani
Sales Director, Gabriel Fabrics

Gabriel fabrics serve as the finishing layer to that engineered environment. Their soft, textured surfaces complement the pod’s internal architecture by softening sharp reflections and helping control reverberation — enhancing speech clarity and making the pod feel quieter, warmer, and more comfortable for everyday use.

Sustainable engineering & design

Framery’s design philosophy extends beyond performance to long-term responsibility. Every material and supplier is evaluated for environmental impact, circularity, indoor health, and product durability — ensuring every pod supports both user well-being and environmental responsibility.

“We design with the full product lifecycle in mind — from raw material to daily use to eventual reuse or recycling.”
Henrik Ashorn
Product Director, Framery

Gabriel’s certified textiles help Framery meet strict targets for circular design, modularity, and product longevity — reducing waste and extending the lifecycle of every pod. With OEKO-TEX® and EU Ecolabel certifications, their upholstery materials support healthier indoor air quality and make Gabriel a natural partner in building workspaces that sound better, feel better, and last longer.

Partners in acoustic excellence

Every detail of Framery smart pods is engineered for acoustic excellence — and Gabriel Fabrics helps deliver unmatched clarity, comfort, and usability. Their sound-absorbing materials bring softness and balance that supports both the pod’s performance and the experience of those who use it.

The partnership between Framery and Gabriel reflects a shared commitment to thoughtful, high-performance design — built to last and made to matter. And as experts in acoustic fabrics, Gabriel’s decision to feature Framery Four in their showroom reflects the pod’s sound performance, material quality, and ability to integrate seamlessly into the space.
