MINIPOD is an innovative solution to support work in a ‘desk-less’ environment. It is a small desk adjustable in height, with added privacy protection to allow focused work in open space environments, at home or in an office. MINIPOD is not a conventional desk, it is an intimate ‘cocoon’ of protection to work individually, it takes less space than a conventional office ‘cubicle’, but at the same time gives more quality to the work process, it is similar to ‘thinking pods’ that philosophers used to concentrate, think and write in the centuries prior to the ‘mechanization’ of work in the office. At the same time, it provides all comforts and functionality required by work in our century: it has adjustable height for ideal work posture, sitting or standing, it is fully electrified, with wired and wireless power supply, it is sound-proof to support remote collaboration, and has a ‘warm’ design language that fits perfectly in the home, and creates a more domestic atmosphere in an office open space or a hotel.
MINIPOD represents an innovative office product category, it can replace office cubicles, hot-desks, and work ‘cabins’, while providing a ‘quality-space’ for intellectual, creative, focused work. It has an ideal degree of intimacy, not fully open, not fully enclosed. It is the answer to the future work environment, in balance between fully opening to facilitate collaboration (at the risk of preventing concentration) and fully enclosing to protect privacy (at the risk of stymying collaboration).
