POD is a public seating solution designed to provide users with the privacy and versatility they need in public spaces. Its shape provides angles of 105 degrees and 130 degrees, ensuring comfort and ease in both sitting and lounging. Constructed from veneered ¾" Baltic birch plywood and bent acrylic, POD can withstand heavy usage, making it ideal for busy public areas. Whether it is a cozy nook for solitary contemplation or a communal hub for lively conversations, POD adapts seamlessly. Minimalist elegance defines its style, well-suiting it for libraries, universities, and offices. POD invites users into its embrace—a place to work, lounge, and let natural light penetrate this personal environment.
