Bonjour à tous, I am Stéphane, a co-founder of La Cantine in Paris and founder of faberNovel which runs PariSoma in SF. On this really big issue in all our open / coworking spaces, we have been working with our friend and designer Paul Coudamy to create a small / sustainable / movable "meeting cell" (that can also be used for personnal phone calls, of course). We called it "Cellulose Meeting Pod" as it is in cardboard and you will find some pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulcoudamy
If you are interested in this project or if you've heard of any similar approach, I will be happy to discuss this further... Happy new year to all my coworking friends, S/.
