What exactly is a “desk partition,” and what is it used for in an open office?
A desk partition is a panel, often made of fabric or acrylic, attached to or placed on a desk. Its main purpose is to create a visual and acoustic barrier between workspaces in an open-plan office, helping to reduce distractions and offer a sense of personal privacy.
What they do for you:
- Privacy: Gives you your own space, keeps your computer screen and work private.
- Better Focus: Blocks distractions and noise so you can concentrate.
- Health Barrier: Helps stop germs from spreading between desks.
- Space Divider: Easily splits up a large desk area or room.
- Personal Space: Often lets you pin up photos or important notes.
Common types you can buy:
- Clamped Screens: Clip onto your desk. Easy to put on and take off.
- Freestanding Screens: Sit on their own base. Easy to move around.
- Materials: Come in clear acrylic (to see through), frosted glass (for soft light), or fabric (to absorb sound).
