As more companies are coming to embrace the mobile office, a great interest is developing in the availability of [alternative work environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-workplace). The WorkaWay station is a wonderful solution to providing a space for productivity in which people can benefit from fresh air and some public isolation. For those typically stuck in [cramped cubicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ma-camilla-isabel-reyes) or for those who work from home, the option of relocating to these [ergonomic compartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-pod) would be very welcome.

Every one of WeLL Design's WorkaWay desks would be equipped with Wi-Fi and could be reserved ahead of time by checking in on a smartphone app. The cutout cubic design of the WorkaWay features a built-in seat, a work surface and shade and can be positioned in parks, plazas and anywhere in between.
