# Tepee Work Cubicles Tetra-Shed Spices up the Office Environment with an Angular Piece By Matt Ho | Published 2011-12-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-shed References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2011/11/tetra-shed-is-t.php#3) & [tetra-shed](http://www.tetra-shed.co.uk/) Cubicles have gotten a bad rep for the longest time, and rightfully so considering how isolating these are, but thanks to the Tetra-Shed by David Ajasa-Adekunle, the work environment will be less alienating. The Tetra-Shed is a [tepee-like structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grayhus) that offers a style of [private space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin) that's less depressing than being surrounded by four enclosed walls. It's got an interesting angular look that incorporates an origami aesthetic. There are built-in flaps that open up like windows so that the person doesn't feel the effects of cabin fever for being inside for too many hours. The interior features a long built-in table for office essentials like computers, staples and more. The Tetra-Shed is an interesting concept, but it may limit the office given its size. However, for those [working at home or outdoors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-office), it's a wonderful complementary piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tepee Work Cubicles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefining office space by providing a more aesthetically pleasing and less isolating work environment. - **Origami Aesthetic:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating unique and visually appealing design elements into various products and industries. - **Flexible Workplace Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating modular and adaptable workspace options to accommodate different needs and locations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reimagining traditional office furniture design to enhance comfort, functionality, and employee well-being. - **Architecture and Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing innovative and unconventional architectural designs and interior layouts to improve the overall work environment. - **Home Office Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing practical and stylish solutions for individuals working remotely from home or outdoors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Workspace Backyard Sheds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workshed.md) - [Modular Wooden Shed Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schtauss.md) - [First-Class Working Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin-work-pod.md) - [Personal Cubicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ma-camilla-isabel-reyes.md) - [Calming Workspace Productivity Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin-privacy-pod.md) - [Adaptive Color Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-workplace.md) - [Minimalist Private Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarlux-soundproof-space.md) - [People-Pleasing Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubicle-system.md) - [Contemporary Modular Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kameleon-office-booth.md)
