Coming out of the pandemic, office pods promise to be especially popular among those who desire a safe personal bubble to work within, as well as quiet and privacy. The Archetype pod by Denizen is a 90-square-foot smart personal office that's easy to set up anywhere there's available space and it makes the most of materials like sustainably harvested timber, 3D-printed biopolymers and metal cladding.
The weatherproof unit can be connected with everything needed for remote work, including outlets, chargers, speakers, cameras, microphones and more. There are also elements like a desk, whiteboard wall, heating and cooling, plus privacy glass for comfort and peace of mind. As Nick Foley, CEO of Denizen, says "There is a major unmet need in the shift to flexible, remote, and hybrid work, and it’s going to take conventional real estate decades to catch up."
