Polycom’s SoundStation Duo is the latest addition to the new family of conference phones designed by White Box Design. Building on the successful visual design language from the SoundStation IP5000, the Duo has a larger foot print and enhanced audio capability for midsize rooms. It also has the ability to work on either analog or VOIP networks. One of the key challenges was to keep the keypad area as small as possible while not compromising the ergonomics and usability. […]

White Box’s design of the SoundStation IP5000 conference phone for Polycom appears regularly on NBC series Chuck. Character Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi), computer geek turned government agent, and the rest of the team use the iconic 3 spoke for communication in their conference room.

You can watch an excerpt of of the show, Chuck Versus the Leftovers (Season 4/Episode 10) which features Polycom’s SoundStation IP5000 proudly designed by us!

This is not your grandfather’s conference phone. This is the new IP5000 Conference Phone designed by the team here at White Box Design.

Working within the constraints to design a product with a smaller foot print without compromising performance and functionality, we focused on evolving what’s become Polycom’s iconic three spoke brand into a more contemporary form factor. This is complemented with the very unique and very functional grill pattern that we hope will also become synonymous with their iconic three spokes.
