Dezeen Showroom: furniture brand Kabin has created a compact, sound-proof pod designed for open-plan offices that are modelled on first-class aircraft cabins.
Kabin 1 is designed to aid productivity while ensuring occupants have a visual connection to their surroundings ? while the pod is primarily intended for use in commercial settings, its design is also suited to residential environments, Kabin said.
Kabin has created a compact and sound-proof pod
"In today's fast-paced world, where open-plan offices and public spaces like hotel lobbies, airports, restaurants and coffee shops have become common work locations, the need for privacy and a conducive working environment has skyrocketed," said the brand. "Kabin 1 addresses this call by offering an acoustically sound, ergonomic and sophisticated space that boosts focus and productivity." The pod is deliberately compact, measuring 1.3 metres in length, 1.2 metres wide and two metres in height to ensure its use in different environments.
It has a moveable work surface
The pod has a laser-cut steel structure fronted by a glass door, intending to offer an aesthetic that emulates the luxury and comfort of first-class aircraft cabins.
Kabin 1 is complete with features including ergonomic seating, a moveable work surface, integrated storage space and dimmable lighting.
There is also a wall-mounted screen with "mood-enhancing videos and audio, helping users create the ideal ambience for focused work".
