Next-generation
work pods
Where work
meets life
We produce tech-driven bookable work pods complete with all the tools you need to work, rest or catch up on calls. Whether it’s somewhere quiet to get everything done, privacy for a sensitive call, or you just need to sit down and breathe, we all need a bit of space sometimes. The world of work has changed and we’re responding.
How it works
Locate and book
Easily located and booked on the custom-built app, our pods will be exactly where you need them to be – in major train stations, public buildings, shopping and entertainment centres.
Intuitive set up
If you’ve got a mobile phone, you’ll be able to use our pod with guidance from the app. As you get close, the app unlocks your pod and once you’re in, use the app to control your environment including temperature and lighting.
Recharge
While your devices are plugged in, you can connect as much or as little as you need. Whatever you choose, remember to take breaks – your pod will remind you in case you get carried away.
The features
The desk levers down from the wall with one angled edge to make it easy for you to get in and out. You can store your bag in the compartment under the seat, and there’s another seat that folds down from the wall for a friend or a colleague to use if you’ve got visitors.
There’s a camera and microphone integrated in the wall opposite your seat at the perfect distance and angle for you to comfortably chat with colleagues and friends, or record the next episode of your vlog or podcast.
Need a second screen? We’ve got you covered. Discreetly mounted into the wall behind the worktable, the Hi Definition LCD screen is perfect to cast your extra spreadsheets, favourite videos, or to use as a tunable light source.
Wireless charging, USB ports and 240-volt sockets – our pod covers all your charging needs for every smartphone and a range of other devices including watches and airpods.
You can control both the lighting and temperature of the pod via the app, even setting it before you arrive and adjusting it as you need throughout the day.
Our pod unlocks via the app on your phone as you get close. Lock it again anytime during your booking so you can step out for lunch knowing your spot is secure.
Project your screen onto the pod’s walls and tinted glass door so you can see everyone in your team meeting, or flick through calming imagery from your latest holiday.
Needless to say, all of our pods are equipped with the fastest, most reliable internet.
UV lights disinfect our pods throughout the day between uses, and the ventilation system filters air multiple times an hour, so you can settle in knowing the space is fresh and clean.
We’re keenly working out how to solar power our pods. We’re not quite there yet but we’re thinking ahead, so we’ve designed them with space to fit eco-friendly battery packs to support solar charging further down the line.
The pods arrive flat packed, the most eco-friendly method of distribution. We come straight to your location and set it up for you typically within 24 hours.
Design Details
The skeleton of the pod is made up of low-carbon mild steel tubing, manually welded by local trade experts in London.
Wall panels are manufactured using FSC certified wood, and are lined with an acoustic antimicrobial material.
The pod’s finishes are all customizable from a range of water-based options for the exterior and sustainably manufactured fabrics for the interiors.
Next steps
In the near future, the pods will also be available for corporate and private offices, as well as homes and gardens.
Residential
With continued needs for flexible working, real offices need to replace the makeshift set up. Ideal for installation in the house or garden, these are a sustainable solution to finding space at home.
Commercial
With a compact 2 sq.mt. footprint, they’re efficient in cost and space, compared to renting office spaces. As workforces grow and needs change, the pods can be moved at minimal expense.
