URBANICA adds workstation privacy panels to help teams create focus zones in open plan offices
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- URBANICA, a direct to consumer premium ergonomic office furniture brand, today announced the expansion of its workstation panel lineup to help teams build focus zones inside open plan offices without permanent construction. The new and expanded panel options are designed to reduce visual distractions, support calmer collaboration and create clearer boundaries in shared work areas, all while keeping layouts flexible for hybrid schedules and changing team sizes.
New modular workstation panels bring privacy, visual calm and faster office reconfiguration for modern teams
Work has changed faster than most offices can remodel. Many teams now need spaces that can shift between heads down focus and active collaboration across the same footprint. In its 2025 workplace design outlook, Framery identified focus spaces as a leading office design priority, reflecting how organizations are actively rebalancing open environments with privacy and quiet zones.
URBANICA’s workstation panels are built for that reality. Rather than relying on fixed walls, the panel system is intended to define micro zones that guide behavior and reduce interruption, including desk focused work, small team coordination and call heavy days.
“Open layouts still matter, but the best offices now include clear signals for when people need uninterrupted time,” said a URBANICA spokesperson. “These workstation privacy panels help teams shape focus zones quickly while keeping the space open, modern and easy to adapt.”
What is new in the URBANICA workstation panel lineup
The Panels collection is positioned as “smart, modular panels designed to create focus, reduce noise, and define your workspace, without sacrificing openness or style.”
Current options include:
- Quad Workstation Panel in Ash, available in 95" x 48" and 118" x 60" sizing (starting at $130)
- Six Person Workstation Desk Panel in Ash, 47" x 12" (listed at $175)
- Two Person Standing Desk Panel in Black or Ash, 60" x 48" (listed at $270)
Across the collection, URBANICA highlights three consistent attributes: sustainably made, easy installation and designed for teams.
Why workstation privacy panels matter now
Open plan offices can amplify noise, increase line of sight distraction and make it harder for teams to maintain deep work. URBANICA’s workspace content points to acoustic privacy as a practical way to restore focus by controlling sound and distraction where work happens, using furniture elements like desk screens and panels to create micro zones without heavy renovation.
Workstation panels support several outcomes teams commonly need:
- Focus shielding: reduce visual interruption and help people stay in flow
- Conversational discretion: limit how much nearby teams can follow a conversation
- Layout clarity: create consistent workstation boundaries that reduce clutter and movement friction
-
Flexible zoning: allow the same floor plan to shift between collaboration spikes and quieter workdays
Designed to pair with modular workstations and cable clean setups
URBANICA’s modular workspace approach emphasizes accessory ecosystems that upgrade performance over time, including privacy screens alongside power and cable management add ons.
For teams building repeatable focus zones, URBANICA recommends pairing workstation panels with workstation layouts and integrated accessories that keep the desktop visually calm, especially in shared benching environments where distraction accumulates quickly.
Availability
URBANICA workstation panels are available now through the brand’s Panels collection, with size and finish options by model.
