Your Desk Called: It Wants a Breakup from the Open Office

By Loftwall April 1, 2025

Listen, the open office promised us everything. Collaboration. Community. Flattering Compliments. Instead, what did we get? Patsy loudly recounting last night’s episode of “The Bachelor” and Daniel yelling on Zoom like he’s negotiating a hostage situation. It turns out the open office isn’t exactly a productivity paradise, and your poor desk is ready to move on.

Enter Arc – the desk privacy screen built from a simple but radical idea: your workspace should feel less like a stage and more like, well, your workspace.

Cologne-Inspired, Office-Approved

Our inspiration didn’t strike in a stuffy boardroom. It happened in Cologne, Germany, at Orgatec, the famed design fair where innovation meets aesthetics. We noticed something magical about spaces crafted with intention – curved lines, thoughtful material choices, and designs that invited calm. So we took notes, came home, and created Arc so you could love your desk again.

 

No More Todd-casts

Let’s get real about noise. Science says open-office distractions kill productivity by about 15%. Arc’s acoustic panels aren’t here to impress audiophiles—they’re here to quiet Todd’s relentless podcast obsession and silence Clint, assuring everyone “this is the year” for his Aggies. Less noise, more focus, happier you.

Curves Are the New Cubes

Forget those sad, grey cubicles from corporate history books. Arc brings natural curves and a unified look that gently marks your territory without feeling claustrophobic. Choose the Corner for subtle privacy or the Wrap to shield your whole workspace – either way, Arc looks good enough to stop coworkers from casually grabbing your pens.

Installs Easier Than a TikTok Tutorial

Installation shouldn’t feel like assembling an IKEA dresser blindfolded. Arc secures effortlessly to your desk using discreet, adjustable brackets – no power tools, no sweat. Plus, the hidden brackets keep your cables neat, because your desk deserves better than cable chaos.

Your Desk, Your Rules

Whether your personality screams avocado or whispers greige, Arc has your back. With 8 color options, Arc can blend quietly or shout loudly – matching your unique style and making your desk unmistakably yours.

Real Privacy, Real Results

Arc isn’t here to revolutionize office furniture (we hate buzzwords too). It’s just here to solve actual problems: absorbing sound, offering visual privacy, and setting clear boundaries around your workspace. No more accidental peeking, fewer interruptions, and an office culture that respects your focus.

Arc: Making Your Desk Worth Loving Again

Office distractions are inevitable. How you respond to them isn’t. Arc transforms your workspace from a noisy free-for-all into a private haven. So stop tolerating the chaos and reclaim your desk. Arc gives you permission to love your workspace again.
