What ROOM does

ROOM designs, manufactures, and sells modular soundproof office pods and acoustic furniture for hybrid-work enterprises, founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York. Its product portfolio centers on three lines: the original Phone Booth (starting at $6,495), the modular Room Collection in S/M/L sizes (starting at $16,995), and the lower-priced Acoustic Lounge furniture line (starting at $2,395). Core technology is proprietary acoustic isolation built around 1.6-inch recycled-material insulation delivering 32 dB NIC noise reduction, paired with 59 ft³/min ultra-quiet ventilation, motion-activated lighting and airflow, ADA-compliant configurations, and SCS Indoor Advantage Gold / IBCCES autism-accessibility certifications. Products are designed in-house and manufactured in the USA through an OEM partnership with OFS Brands, then shipped flat for under-an-hour or under-three-hour plug-and-play assembly.

The business operates a direct-to-business model that bypasses traditional dealer markups, executed through self-serve e-commerce on room.com, a dedicated enterprise sales team, a network of physical showrooms spanning nine North American cities (New York, DC, San Francisco, Miami, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto), a global virtual showroom, and international dealers and direct sales in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Pricing is unit-based ($2,395 to $29,995) with optional third-party monthly financing (e.g., $194/month for a Phone Booth), volume discounts for enterprise buyers, and a higher-margin ROOM Studio Design Services add-on for custom projects.

The customer base spans 8,000+ businesses worldwide and is concentrated in large enterprises, with named logos across technology (Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Salesforce, Uber, Lyft), financial services (J.P. Morgan), retail (Walmart, Nike, Adidas, Starbucks, Pepsi, Heineken), government and healthcare (NASA, NHS, Roche, Carolina co-developed pod), and commercial real estate and flexible workspace operators (CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Industrious, Venture X). Segment strategy targets Fortune 500 enterprises, healthcare facilities, companies with open floor plans, hybrid teams, and flexible-workspace providers, with recently announced sustainability and reforestation efforts via a One Tree Planted partnership. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional parent or recent priced funding round beyond a $12.5M Series A in 2020.
