Meet Silen Space Gen 2: the new standard for office pods

We’re a team fixated on the details most people never notice. While most people see an office pod, we see a complex puzzle of structural logic, acoustic physics, and airflow dynamics. And honestly? We’ve obsessed over it so you don’t have to.

Meet Silen Space Gen 2 — the absolute best office pod range on this planet.

This isn’t a facelift; it’s a complete rethink of the office pod. Built on an entirely new structural platform, Space Gen 2 integrates engineering, design, and comfort into a single, cohesive system. It delivers certified privacy and superior airflow, but its true edge is total retrofitting. Unlike any other pod, the Space Gen 2 range is designed to be upgraded and evolved over time, not replaced.

The result is a range that feels lighter, works harder, and stays relevant longer.

Welcome to the new standard. It’s about time.

Why a new generation

Space Gen 1 set a high standard, but the world has moved on. Offices change faster, layouts adapt, and user expectations have shifted from "quiet enough" to high-performance comfort. Products now need to deliver a flawless experience not just on day one, but through years of relocation, reconfiguration, and daily use.

Space Gen 2 was built to answer that reality.

The silhouette remains unmistakably Silen, but the design has been refined to feel lighter, calmer, and more precise. Every proportion and detail was reconsidered to reduce visual noise and allow the pod to integrate naturally into modern workspaces.

“An office pod should complement an interior rather than compete with it. We designed Space Gen 2 to be visually harmonious, bringing comfort, quality and thoughtful design to any workspace.”
— Martin Pärn, Designer at Iseasi — the strongest and most established industrial design agency in Estonia.

Beneath that refined exterior sits an entirely new engineering platform. Instead of refining individual features, the team rebuilt the structure itself. The new architecture improves acoustic reliability, reduces installation variables, simplifies relocation, and supports retrofitting everything from screen mounts and sockets to additional functional accessories.

“A good product solves today’s problems. A great one keeps solving them years later. That’s what we engineered into Gen 2.”
— Erik Silas, Head of Engineering, Silen

The engineering behind the evolution

This is where the "one size fits all" approach ends and pure engineering takes over. We’ve stopped looking at pods as furniture and started treating them as high-performance environments. Every Space Gen 2 pod is built on the same new structural platform — a shared foundation of uncompromised logic that brings a set of core advantages across the entire range.

Here’s the breakdown of the engineering that makes it possible.

Timeless design excellence

We don’t believe in "styling." We believe in visual logic. To bring Space Gen 2 to life, we collaborated with Iseasi — Estonia’s leading industrial design agency.

This wasn't a hand-off; it was a deep co-creation. We paired our engineering obsession with a design team whose members hold prestigious accolades, including the Red Dot Award. Together, we created a silhouette that is unmistakably Silen, yet neutral enough to disappear into any high-end architecture. It’s a study in refined proportions where every line serves the structural intelligence beneath it. It’s beauty that works for a living.

A structural platform built for easy relocation

We didn’t just tweak the old design; we rebuilt the architecture. The new lightweight aluminum structure reduces the total pod weight by up to 20%, but the real win is in the components — some are now up to 50% lighter, making installation significantly easier. It’s a rigid, high-performance skeleton designed to stay perfectly aligned and quiet, even after being reassembled a dozen times. And for quick layout changes? Integrated castors mean you can relocate the pod across the office in minutes.

Ultimate two-way privacy built into the structure

Real privacy is a matter of master-level engineering, not artificial noise. Gen 2 delivers certified premium sound reduction through smart material engineering — which means no sound masking or "white noise" is required to hide your conversations. We’ve refined the door with a magnetic seal and a signature ergonomic handle to ensure that when you close the world out, it stays out.

Comfort engineered for both short and extended use

When you’re spending hours inside a pod, "good enough" ventilation is a health hazard. We’ve engineered Gen 2 with airflow that’s up to 2× above typical office standards. It even features a Boost mode that refreshes the entire air volume in seconds.

Control shouldn’t be an optional extra, so our new digital Control Panel is now standard across the range. You can instantly adjust the ventilation and choose between preset lighting modes to fit your task — whether it’s a high-stakes video call with face-lighting or a deep-focus session in ambient illumination.

Infinite customization and retrofit-ready design

We believe a pod should evolve with your office, not be replaced by it. Both interior and exterior finishes are easily interchangeable if your style changes. More importantly, the structure is fully retrofit-ready. This allows you to update furniture, add screen mounts, or integrate the latest technology without ever needing to replace the core pod. It’s a product designed to be redesigned.

Sustainability through a 20-year lifespan

True sustainability isn't a marketing claim; it's a result of product longevity. Space Gen 2 is designed for a minimum 20-year lifecycle. By using replaceable components and a structure built for easy disassembly, we’ve ensured these pods can be repaired, upgraded, and repurposed for decades. When the time eventually comes, the core materials such as the aluminum frame, steel components, and glass are fully recyclable, keeping the environmental impact as low as the noise levels inside.

Meet the first three models

Space Gen 2 launches with three purpose-built pods. Each serves a different type of work, while sharing the same structural platform and performance foundation.

Space Call

Space Call is designed for phone calls and video meetings where privacy and speed matter.

The compact footprint makes it easy to place throughout the office while still delivering certified acoustic privacy, high-performance ventilation, and integrated lighting control. Users can choose between a fixed-height or electrically height-adjustable table, paired with an integrated barstool designed for short sessions.

Additional accessories such as acoustic panels, face lights, screen mounts, and expanded power options allow the pod to adapt to different communication needs.

Space Work

Space Work is designed for focused solo work.

It provides more room to settle in, supporting longer sessions that require concentration and comfort. High airflow ventilation, adjustable lighting, and refined interior acoustics create an environment suited for deep focus.

The pod can be configured with fixed or height-adjustable desks, paired with Silen seating or the user’s own office chair. Accessories like acoustic panels, screen mounts, and face lights allow the space to evolve with any workflow.

Space Meet 2

Space Meet 2 is designed for one-to-one meetings.

Interviews, check-ins, and private conversations all require a space that protects privacy while remaining comfortable for both people. Space Meet 2 delivers that balance with certified acoustic performance, strong airflow, and a calm interior environment.

The interior can be configured with integrated sofa solutions and tabletop finishes, while monitor mounts, additional power options, and accessories support a wide range of meeting setups.

Engineered for the entire ecosystem

Space Gen 2 wasn’t just built for the person sitting inside. It was engineered for the architects who specify it, the buyers who invest in it, and the facility managers who have to move it when the office layout changes. We’ve looked at the entire lifecycle of the product to eliminate the friction points most manufacturers ignore.

High-performance logic for every stakeholder

For the specifier: a refined, neutral design language that integrates into any interior without fighting the architecture. It is a tool that makes the floor plan work better — a sustainable, long-term asset you can recommend with total confidence.

For the buyer: the best value-to-price ratio in the premium segment. You’re investing in a 20-year asset that’s built to be upgraded, not a temporary fix that ends up in a landfill.

For the logistics team: a 20% weight reduction and a smarter structural platform mean faster installation, lower risk, and zero headaches. It’s engineered to be moved, reconfigured, and reassembled without losing its acoustic integrity.

In short: Space Gen 2 is a high-performance asset designed to perform long after the installation team leaves the building. It’s the smartest ROI on the planet.
