Working in an open-concept office or public space usually means having to deal with the ambient noise that is evident, so the 'Pod Chair' has been designed to offer a way for you to avoid it and focus on your task at hand.
The chair is the design work of Benjamin Hubert and DeVorm, and works by instantly surrounding the sitter in a high back design that will dampen all existing noise in an area. This allows you to get work done or speak with someone directly across from you privately without having to deal with the auditory distractions that might be present.
The 'Pod Chair' is crafted from recycled PET bottles and offers a very comfortable aesthetic for those in residential or professional spaces.
