Ecolution Design™

What Ecolution Design™ does

Ecolution Design™ designs and manufactures modular acoustic office pods built primarily from recycled materials. The company's product line comprises 31 unique pods organized across Focus, Collaboration, and Connected collections, with an additional Modular Landscapes line introduced in October 2025 that extends the offering to reconfigurable open-plan acoustic systems. Technical specifications include Category A sound absorption (the highest rating under ISO 11654), 30dB noise reduction, airflow ranging from 71 to 848 CFM, up to 91% recycled content, 99% end-of-life recyclability, and a modular parts base enabling 56 distinct configurations. The 10-year warranty and patented modular construction are designed for disassembly and reconfiguration rather than replacement.

The company operates a dual-continent footprint with headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan serving North America and an office in Apeldoorn, Netherlands serving Europe. Materials are locally sourced on each continent, and products carry third-party credentials including Eco-Passport certification and IBCCES Certified Autism Resource designation. The business model is direct B2B sales with quote-based pricing, claiming up to 30% cost savings versus traditional build-out and 12-18 month payback economics for customers. Channel and supply partnerships include Camira Fabrics for textiles and MiEN Company for education market distribution.

Named customers span automotive (Ford, Toyota, Porsche), financial services (Deutsche Bank, PwC, Commerzbank, AXA, NÜRNBERGER Versicherung), logistics and retail (DHL, Lidl, Kaufland, Metro), industrial (Miele, Merck, PreZero, Riverty, Viterra), government (NATO), and other commercial accounts. Recent strategic activity includes the Modular Landscapes launch, ORGATEC 2024 exhibition, and recognition via the Interior Design Best of Year 2025 award.

Core offering

Ecolution Design manufactures and sells modular, acoustically-rated office pods (Focus Pods, Collaboration Pods, Connected Pods, and Modular Landscapes) constructed primarily from recycled materials (up to 91% recycled content including wood, denim, and aluminum sourced via urban mining). The pods are delivered as configured prefabricated units with built-in ventilation, lighting, and power/USB-C/network connectivity, and are installed in hours without permanent construction or permits. Products are sold primarily to businesses and institutions needing private focus, call, and meeting spaces within open-plan offices, healthcare facilities, universities, and commercial real estate.

Product overview

Ecolution Design™ is a sustainable office pod manufacturer offering modular, acoustically-rated acoustic pods made from recycled materials. The product portfolio consists of three main collections: (1) Focus Pods including phone pods (Eco Phone S/L/S+/M+) and work pods (Eco Work S/M/L) and desk pods (Eco Desk S/M/L/XL) and multi-person pods (Eco Multi L/XL); (2) Collaboration Pods including meeting pods in various sizes (Eco Meet S/M/L/XL and enhanced M+/L+/XL+ variants) plus larger team pods (Eco Team XL, Eco Max XL); and (3) Connected Pods that can be linked together for expanded configurations (Eco Multi M Connected, Eco Meet M/M+ Connected, Eco Team M/L/XL Connected, Eco Max M/L/XL Connected). The company also offers a Modular Landscapes system where pods connect via recycled wood slat systems to create semi-private zones. All pods feature Class A acoustic ratings (30dB sound reduction), ventilation (71-848 CFM airflow), and are built from up to 91% recycled materials with 99% recyclability at end of life. The modular design enables 56 configurations from interchangeable components. Manufacturing is in Grand Rapids, MI with European HQ in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.

• BuzziSpace: Belgian manufacturer of acoustic pods and space-dividing furniture with a strong design and sustainability narrative. Overlaps directly with Ecolution on acoustic performance, recycled material use, and office-as-experience positioning.
• Mute: US/Europe premium acoustic pod manufacturer (Mute Pod, Mute Mini) targeting enterprise offices. Comparable product category, similar sustainability messaging, and overlapping mid-market to enterprise customer base.
• Room: US-based office phone booth and meeting pod maker focused on hybrid-work buyers. Direct overlap on solo and small-meeting pods and on enterprise/RTO-driven purchasing.

• MillerKnoll: Parent of Herman Miller, Knoll, and other premium office brands, with a portfolio spanning acoustic pods, modular furniture, and architectural interiors. Competes at the broader workplace-system level rather than as a pure pod specialist.
• DIRTT Environmental Solutions: Manufacturer of modular, demountable interior construction including walls and acoustic spaces. Competes for the same flexible-workspace and circular-economy RFPs as Ecolution, particularly in commercial real estate.
