Shelter Office AG is a Zurich-based company addressing the evolving needs of the modern workplace by providing high-quality, flexible acoustic solutions. The company operates in the office furniture market, specifically targeting businesses of all sizes, from startups to large corporations like IKEA and Axpo, that are adapting to hybrid work models and open-plan office layouts. Shelter was founded by Christian Warken and is a spin-off of the Swiss Startup Factory.
The company’s core business revolves around a subscription-based rental model for meeting and telephone booths. This "try-before-you-buy" approach allows companies to enhance their office environments without significant upfront capital investment, offering a flexible solution to noise and privacy issues in dense workspaces. The business model anticipates that a significant portion of rental clients will ultimately purchase the booths, creating a dual revenue stream. The service is comprehensive, covering everything from initial concept and planning to delivery and installation.
Shelter’s product line includes acoustically optimized telephone and meeting pods, as well as other sound-dampening products like wall panels. A key differentiator is the focus on high-quality, sustainable materials and local production. Over 80% of the value chain is sourced from within a 100 km radius. The booths are constructed from premium solid ash wood from Swiss forests, avoiding environmentally harmful chemicals like lacquers and adhesives almost entirely. This emphasis on durable, locally-produced materials and superior craftsmanship ensures product longevity and low maintenance costs, positioning Shelter as a provider of long-term value rather than just a low-cost option.
