Open-plan offices aren’t going anywhere. They’re often a popular choice to save on costs or to provide tenants with maximum space and the freedom to adapt the layout as they see fit.
But open-plan environments aren’t without their disadvantages. They can be distracting and noisy, making it difficult for employees to concentrate.
Enter the work pod. This elegant, spacious solution provides a quiet, self-contained space. It’s like having multiple cellular offices you can move, and there’s no need to build walls or seek planning permission.
Key features of modern work pods
Measured acoustics: Pod acoustics are rated under ISO 23351-1, from Class A (a speech level reduction of 30 dB or more) down to Class E. Pods in this collection such as the Framery One Work, HushFree.S Hybrid and Island Desk Work Pod are rated Class A at 30–31 dB, and others such as the BA Focus Work Pod are Class B at around 25 dB. Each product page shows the rating where the manufacturer publishes one.
Ergonomic design: Adjustable seating, good lighting and active ventilation make work pods comfortable for extended use, and some models offer an electric sit-stand desk.
Power and connectivity: Integrated power sockets, LED lighting and data connections support everything from video calls to uninterrupted solo work.
Sizes for every space: Choose from compact pods for small floorplates to larger work pods with room for a lounge seat.
Modern aesthetics: A range of finishes and colours means your work pods can complement any office interior.
Versatility for every need
Our office work pods are perfect for many use cases, including:
Focused individual work: Escape the distractions of open-plan offices and enjoy the focus time you need to get work done.
Video calls: Enjoy clear audio and video, free from background noise and interruptions.
