Flexible Office Pods

Mute Design Aimed to Revolutionize the Office Essential Category

— October 17, 2022 — Art & Design
Jetson is a flexible office pod, designed by Mute Design out of light aluminum. The firm aimed to "create a new office essential," with affordability and convenience in mind. Thus, this offering is considered to be "the first truly DIY acoustic pod" on the market. The aluminum structure that makes up Jetson is easy to assemble, lightweight, and durable. Mute Design maintains that its revolutionary flexible office pod can be assembled without any tools and in about 30 to 60 minutes.

Office pods have become very popular among open-plan offices in the last couple of years as employers seek to provide workers with an environment where collaboration and the exchange of ideas can happen but also one where you can find a bit of reprieve and work solo, without disruptions.
