Acoustic Desktop Surround

Bring focus back to your workspace with Ghent’s Acoustic Desktop Surround, a modern privacy and sound-absorbing solution designed for open offices, shared desks, and educational environments. Made from high-performance PET felt derived from recycled water and soda bottles, this sustainable panel absorbs noise and reduces distractions, helping you stay productive and connected without isolation.

The Acoustic Desktop Surround was created for today’s flexible work culture — where collaboration and concentration must coexist. Its dense, tackable PET material provides a .75 Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), effectively absorbing background chatter, phone calls, and ambient noise that can interrupt focus. By minimizing sound reflection and visual movement, it transforms any open desktop into a calm, semi-private workspace ideal for focused individual work or hybrid collaboration.

More than just acoustic protection, the Desktop Surround also functions as a personal pinboard. The tackable felt surface lets you post notes, reminders, and project materials within arm’s reach — without damaging the panel. The durable PET construction is resistant to fraying and puncture, ensuring long-term use even in high-traffic areas like coworking spaces, classrooms, or corporate hot-desk zones.

Designed with simplicity in mind, the Acoustic Desktop Surround assembles in seconds — no tools or hardware required. The lightweight panels interlock securely around your workstation, forming a stable surround that can be easily removed or stored flat when not in use. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for agile work environments where desks are shared, reconfigured, or relocated frequently.

Because the material is bleach-cleanable, maintaining a hygienic workspace is simple. The PET felt surface withstands regular disinfecting with standard cleaners without fading, pilling, or losing acoustic performance. That makes the Desktop Surround a practical fit for education, healthcare, and other environments where cleanliness and durability are essential.

Each panel is precision-cut for a clean, architectural aesthetic that complements modern interiors. Available in multiple color options, the Acoustic Desktop Surround enhances both performance and visual appeal, blending seamlessly into contemporary office landscapes or creative studio environments. Whether paired with height-adjustable desks, shared workstations, or benching systems, its minimal, fabric-wrapped form provides privacy without disrupting sightlines or light flow.

Unlike bulky desk dividers or permanent partitions, the Acoustic Desktop Surround encourages both focus and connection. It helps define personal boundaries while allowing natural communication and collaboration with nearby colleagues. Teams can meet deadlines, brainstorm ideas, and handle private tasks — all within the same open space — without sacrificing comfort or productivity.

Each surround is crafted using Ghent’s commitment to sustainable materials and American manufacturing. The recycled PET composition keeps plastic bottles out of landfills while offering long-lasting performance. It’s part of Ghent’s ongoing initiative to design products that support healthy, flexible, and environmentally responsible workplaces.

Whether you’re furnishing a corporate office, classroom, or home workspace, Ghent’s Acoustic Desktop Surround provides the acoustic control and privacy modern workers need — with the simple setup and sustainable craftsmanship you can trust.
