L’Arche: an acoustic pod built to last

Eco-design is about more than just choosing recycled materials. At leet design, it is part of a broader vision: creating acoustic pods that are durable, repairable, and capable of evolving alongside workspaces.

In a constantly changing work environment, habits shift, layouts are transformed, and employee needs evolve. To support these changes, L’Arche was designed with a focus on durability, modularity, and reuse.

From the selection of materials to its manufacturing in France, every step is part of this commitment.

Design focused on extending product lifespan

One of the fundamental principles of L’Arche lies in its design.

The pod is fully demountable and reassemblable. Its various parts can be recovered, reused, or replaced, ensuring the pod is never viewed as a static product.

This approach also facilitates its evolution over time: when a workspace is redesigned or a pod needs to be moved, L’Arche can be disassembled and reinstalled in a new environment.

Designing to last also means designing for repair, replacement, and reuse.

Eco-design also involves careful attention to the materials used.

L’Arche incorporates 61% recycled and recyclable materials. Their selection reflects a commitment to using resources more responsibly, while maintaining the performance and durability required for an acoustic pod.

This approach is part of a wider reflection on the product's life cycle: use, maintain, repair, and reuse, rather than replace.

‍

Made in France, as close as possible to where it was designed

L’Arche is developed and designed in the Auvergne workshops of leet design, with a focus on short supply chains and quality control.

This French manufacturing process allows us to maintain control over every stage of production and champion local industrial expertise.

Delivery and installation are also handled in-house by teams trained by leet design, ensuring direct support throughout the entire lifespan of the booth.

A booth designed to support workspaces

Eco-design isn't just about how a product is made. It also concerns its ability to adapt to changing spaces.

With its various sizes, from the individual Arche S to the Arche Q2 which can accommodate up to 8 people, the range meets a variety of needs: phone calls, individual work, interviews, meetings, or video conferences.

Its compact format also makes it easy to integrate into different areas, even where square footage is limited.

L’Arche can be placed against a wall, between two spaces, or near a window, without the need for any construction work.

‍

Repair rather than replace

A product's durability also depends on what happens after it is installed.

L’Arche comes with a 5-year warranty, while its parts are available for 10 years. Our after-sales service is available to address any issues and can also assist with relocation requests.

This availability of parts follows the same logic as our modular design: extending the cabin's lifespan rather than replacing the entire unit when a single component needs to be changed.

‍

Eco-design as a comprehensive approach

For leet design, creating an eco-friendly acoustic cabin means going beyond simply choosing recycled materials.

It involves considering the product's entire lifecycle :

design → manufacture → use → repair → reuse.

This approach is also part of our commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

‍

L’Arche thus combines recycled and recyclable materials, French manufacturing, a modular design, spare parts availability, and the potential for reuse.

An approach that seeks to reconcile acoustic performance, sustainability, and evolving needs.
