After two years of research and development, the Benjamin Hubert pod chair has finally been released! Designed by Benjamin Hubert in collaboration with Devorm, the pod chair is created entirely from recycled PET bottles.
Following the "room within a room" design, which highlights acoustic privacy, the chair is designed to make its users feel relaxed and separated from the clutter of everyday life. In essence, it serves as a shell from the outside world, with the height of the chair falling above the user's head.
According to Mechanical Dummy, "The felt allows for a distinctive aesthetic as well as offering sound dampening properties to increase the sensation of privacy."
Privacy, comfort, aesthetic appeal -- the Benjamin Huber pod chair is the perfect spot for both work and relaxation.
