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.
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.
