PodSeat & PodSofa
Client: Martela
More and more people are spending time in waiting areas, and while waiting want to have some privacy for making telephone calls or working with a laptop. At the same time, workers today are more mobile, and in many offices there are fewer dedicated workstations. The trend is obvious - flexible working spaces will continue to be more popular. PodSeat and the PodSofa are innovative solutions in this area.
The "window" is one of the key features that makes these compact units feel roomy and spacious; the opening is at a comfortable height serving as an extended armrest, so users don’t feel cramped inside. Besides they also give a lighter visual feel to the product and they help you to see at a glance if any unit is occupied.
The screens are only 125 cm high, which means they won’t block the view when placed in an office space. The PodSeat has a swivel base which easily allows users to choose their focus, to either turn away for privacy or to turn towards other people for conversation. The PodSofa can easily create small cabin like rooms if placed opposite to eachother and all units come with optional swing-out tabletop for more functionality.
