The next edition of the ORGATEC trade show will take place in Cologne from October 27 to 30, 2026. Every two years, leading brands, architects, designers, and industry experts gather in Cologne to showcase office furniture, acoustic solutions, lighting, technologies, interior design systems, and new concepts for work organization. This year, Nowy Styl and Kusch+Co will present a joint exhibition under the theme “Playing with silence.” The presentation will focus on acoustics and its importance for everyday office life.

The Silence We Need at Work
According to data cited by Nowy Styl, over 60 percent of employees cite noise as one of the factors affecting their comfort at work. That is why, during ORGATEC, the company wants to draw attention not only to the types of sounds that occur in the office but also to ways of reducing them. “Playing with silence” is intended to serve as a starting point for showcasing solutions that help create a more diverse work environment, with space for concentration, conversation, and moments of quiet.

Acoustic booths make their debut in Nowy Styl’s portfolio
One of the most important launches will be a new product category from Nowy Styl: acoustic booths. In Cologne, the company will present the Ace line for the first time, available in four variants, ranging from a single-person booth to the multi-person XL version. The booths have an acoustic class of A and are designed for situations where greater privacy or reduction of ambient noise is needed. Acoustics will also be a feature in other products displayed at the booth. These will include Sileo—acoustic panels for walls and ceilings—and Sileo Evo—a solution designed for workstations and workbench-style spaces.

The new offerings also include materials and finishes.

During the trade show, Nowy Styl will also present the report “Playing with Silence,” dedicated to a new perspective on design—specifically, the role of acoustics in the workplace and the importance of silence from the perspective of office space users.
