Framery: chosen by around 70% of the Forbes Top 100

Framery soundproof pod in a corporate office

Around 70% of the Forbes Top 100 use Framery pods, and the names Framery lists are the ones a US facilities team already knows: Nvidia, Microsoft, Puma. Adoption at that scale is the reassurance a corporate fit-out needs before it signs, and it has a track record behind it — a fleet past the 110,000 mark, installed at over 11,000 companies since a Finnish start-up built the first office phone booth in 2010.

What those companies buy is not a box but a manufacturer. Framery tunes its soundproofing to the frequency of human speech and rates it under ISO 23351-1, the standard for speech level reduction; its smart pods sense who is inside with radar and set ventilation and lighting on their own; occupancy data stays anonymous under an ISO 27001 information-security system. The range includes wheelchair-accessible configurations, every pod carries a five-year warranty and installation is done by trained crews. Published US cases run from a Clayco headquarters in St. Louis to the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place in Chicago. For an American floor La Mercanti sizes the pod mix on headcount, ships it with the Italian executive furniture in the same order and books a local installation crew before the truck leaves.

FAQ

Does Framery make wheelchair-accessible pods?

Yes. The meeting pods in the family have a floorless structure with a low threshold of about half an inch, and Framery offers a fully accessible version of its meeting pod for projects that require it. La Mercanti flags the accessible configuration in the specification so it is ordered that way from the start.

What warranty comes with a Framery pod?

Framery gives a five-year warranty on its smart pods. The pods are modular by design — every component can be replaced, repaired or updated — which is why the company talks about assets that last for decades rather than the length of a lease, and why used pods are refurbished and redeployed instead of scrapped.

How to roll Framery pods out across a US office with La Mercanti

For workplace and facilities leads: headcount ratio, finishes, power, crew, data.

Start from the headcount ratio

One single pod per ten employees, one meeting pod per twenty, one six-seat room per thirty: Framery's own rule, adjusted to your call volume.

Pull the EPDs for the building file

Every Framery pod has a third-party verified Environmental Product Declaration; La Mercanti sends them with the quote for the sustainability file.

Choose finishes on physical samples

Interior and exterior colours and fabrics are matched to the floor; sample cost is credited back on order confirmation.

Confirm power and clearances

Pods run on 100-240 VAC and need a level floor; La Mercanti checks door widths and elevator paths before shipping.

Install, activate, then read the data

A trained crew installs; after activation, anonymous occupancy data shows within weeks whether the mix needs a pod more or less.
