CHAIR
I am interested in making a “privacy chair” that is enclosed on sides, back, and top but open in the front - kind of like the “Easter Egg Chair” idea

The goal is to deaden ambient room sound for the occupant as much as possible, without fully enclosing the person, as well as visual privacy.
I’m thinking this could involve sound damping materials and shape. A sound from the front would still reach the occupant’s ears, but the chair would somehow absorb that sound so it doesn’t reflect off the inside of the chair, and would also block sound from every direction other than the front?
How would you go about doing this?
Could one, without being an engineer, incorporate active noise cancellation similar to a pair of Bose headphones?
