I think they missed an opportunity for a great product; let me explain.

You only needed to add the ability to "enclose" your office space with some sort of sound-proof film or panel, and voilà, a much more interesting piece of furniture.

The current Ori simply offers the ability to neatly "collapse" the "mess" of a home office, and substitute it with a wall-mounted TV piece of furniture. Ok, fine, but... Meh.

Instead, give me a chance to have a sound-proof bubble I can use for phone calls and video calls, so that screaming kids in the other rooms are not ruining the call, and similar issues. Then I'm interested.

good idea, except sound proof requires thickness and density.

no such thing as a sound-proof film, sadly.

Vynil-based films achieve that with very little weight. It doesn't have to be "audio recording studio" soundproof; even if it kills just 20-30 dB it is still a good improvement.

Towel cloth is actually pretty good. Not a film, but quite effective when in layers.
