Gilnhammer Room Box—room-in-room system for acoustics and retreat

The Gilnhammer Raumbox is a modular room-in-room system that was developed from the existing G40 Classic system. The starting point was the specific requirements of customers who need functional meeting rooms in noisy environments – acoustically effective, flexible in use, and without costly construction measures. The Raumbox is thus a logical further development of classic trade fair and wall systems into an independent acoustic and retreat room.

Developed from practical requirements

The development of the Raumbox is closely linked to real-life usage scenarios. Customers from the trade fair construction, office planning, and event sectors were looking for solutions that would allow them to hold conversations in a secluded setting – whether at busy trade fair stands, in temporary exhibitions, or in open-plan offices. Based on these requirements, Gilnhammer GmbH took the existing system a step further in terms of technology and functionality and focused consistently on the issue of acoustics. The company's entire acoustic expertise was incorporated into the design of the Raumbox. The aim was not only to create a visually enclosed space, but above all to achieve a measurable reduction in sound levels and pleasant acoustics inside the box.

Acoustic effect and sound comfort

A key feature of the Gilnhammer room box is the significant difference in sound levels between the interior and exterior. In noisy environments—such as trade fairs or open-plan offices—entering the box creates a noticeable sense of calm. This acoustic decoupling ensures that conversations can be held without being drowned out by ambient noise. At the same time, care has been taken to ensure that good sound values also prevail inside the room box. Reflections and reverberation are specifically reduced so that speech remains clearly understandable and no unpleasant acoustics arise. The acoustic perception is thus perceived as quiet and shielded without creating the impression of a cramped or enclosed space.

Modular design and flexible floor plans

The Raumbox follows a modular design principle. Its size, floor plan, and equipment can be flexibly adapted – from small retreat rooms for one-on-one conversations to larger boxes for meetings with several people. Any floor plan is possible, as the modules can be freely combined. This flexibility makes the Raumbox interesting for both temporary use and permanent installations. The modular design also allows for easy adaptation to changing requirements, such as relocations, space conversions, or new usage concepts.

Typical areas of application

Originally strongly influenced by the trade fair environment, the range of applications for the Gilnhammer Raumbox has expanded significantly. The system is becoming particularly important in the context of modern working environments. In open-plan office concepts, situations often arise in which confidential conversations or concentrated work are necessary without separate office space being available. Typical areas of application are:

• Meeting rooms at trade fair stands and events
• Retreat rooms in open-plan offices and open-space concepts
• Temporary meeting rooms in exhibitions or showrooms
• Screened-off conversation areas in public or semi-public areas

Classification in the context of modern room concepts

The Gilnhammer Raumbox picks up on key developments in trade fair and office construction: flexible use, modular systems, and increasing demands on acoustic quality. Instead of permanent structural interventions, it offers a mobile, reusable solution that can be adapted to changing conditions. The Raumbox thus positions itself as a functional link between classic trade fair construction and modern interior design – with a clear focus on acoustics, modularity, and practical application.
