When Zurich-based architect and designer Stephan Hürlemann designed a company headquarters with a dynamic working environment in 2017, he realised that his “Dancing Office” product family was missing a multifunctional and flexible phone booth. It had to be mobile, with a perfect indoor climate and multifunctional on the outside. That marked the birth of Talky.
Erich Keller recognised the need and decided to produce the best phone booth for open-plan spaces. Together with Hürlemann, the joinery developed the Talky product family, which was launched in 2021. In 2025, the idea will be taken further: Talky will become Talky Village. What began as a single phone booth continues to grow.
With Talky Nook, Talky Connect and Talky AddOn. Together, they form a modular system that allows entire office landscapes to be created from individual elements. Space becomes microarchitecture, function becomes atmosphere, and an idea becomes a new concept for the workplace of tomorrow.
