Thinkspace is a US-based distributor and brand operator specializing in acoustic office pods, semi-private workspaces, and workplace wellness solutions. Founded in 2018 by Anjul Chandi and Mark Bailey, the company holds exclusive North American distribution rights for European manufacturers Hushoffice (Poland), Glimakra of Sweden, LoOok Industries (Finland), and Bene. Its portfolio centers on the eight-model hushFree acoustic pod line (XS, S, S Hybrid, XM, M, Access M, L, Access L) plus the hushClassic line, the BuildUp Huddle Collection, Bene PARCS semi-private spaces, and the NeuroPod wellness pod.

The hushFree line is also certified as a Certified Autism Resource by IBCCES for sensory inclusivity. The company claims 4,000+ pods installed across North America since 2018.

Thinkspace operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales, independent sales representative groups covering 13+ US states, dealer partnerships, a flagship Chicago showroom, 15 NeuroPod demonstration locations, and integration with Configura's CET Commercial Interiors specification software.
