Danish brand [Fritz Hansen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plenum-cabin-by-jaime-hayon-for-fritz-hansen) introduces a look at the Plenum Cabin designed by Jaime Hayon. It is a seating series for workspaces as a versatile space-creation tool. It seats four and has [pod-like components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin) which are meant to host informal and private conversations in a workspace. It is made up of two sofas that are joined by high backrests which creates a dividing barrier.

The brand explains "The Plenum Cabin is not just furniture; it's a versatile space-creation tool." Hayon continues, "My aim was to craft a space within a space – a haven for intimate conversations and informal gatherings. It's an invitation to connect, to share and to experience the best of human interaction in the workplace."
