Movawall was appointed by refurbishment and maintenance specialists Sykes & Son Ltd to support the transformation of a contemporary workplace on Chiswell Street in the London Borough of Islington.

The project combined adaptable meeting spaces with enhanced acoustic comfort throughout the wider open-plan office. To achieve this, Movawall supplied and installed a Type 200 sliding folding partition system alongside a series of Comfort Fabric Wall Panels integrated within breakout and collaborative areas.

Installed to divide a dedicated meeting room from the surrounding workplace, the Type 200 system provides staff with a highly flexible space that can quickly adapt to changing day-to-day requirements. The continuously hinged sliding folding partition allows the meeting area to operate as a private enclosed room or open seamlessly into the wider office environment when greater collaboration or capacity is required. The system also delivers sound reduction of up to Rw 52dB, helping to maintain privacy and reduce disruption between adjacent spaces.

Finished in a clean, contemporary style that complements the wider interior design, the movable wall integrates naturally within the office architecture while maintaining ease of operation and efficient stacking when opened.

Alongside the flexible partitioning solution, Movawall’s Comfort Fabric Wall Panels were installed within open-plan breakout and touchdown areas to improve acoustic comfort throughout the workplace. Finished in a green fabric, the panels introduce both visual warmth and effective sound absorption, helping to reduce reverberation and create calmer, more comfortable shared environments for staff and visitors alike.

The completed project successfully balances flexibility, acoustic performance, and contemporary workplace design — creating an environment that supports focused working, collaboration, and day-to-day adaptability across the office interior.
