Privacy & Concentration
In busy open office environments, finding privacy can be difficult, making it hard for employees to focus on tasks that require deep concentration. Our meeting pods & booths create a sanctuary within the workplace, offering protection from distractions and fostering an atmosphere that promotes productivity.
Flexibility & Versatility
The nature of office pods allows organisations to adjust their office layouts to meet evolving needs and preferences without the need for permanent fixtures or building works. They can be transformed into individual workspaces, meeting areas, or relaxation spots, adapting to a variety of tasks and activities. This flexibility optimises the use of office space, enabling companies to manage their resources effectively while catering to diverse work styles. The Meeting Pod Co goes beyond catering to indoor environments. We are the sole manufacturers of pods and booths specifically designed for outdoor areas, enabling businesses to fully utilise their available spaces.
Collaboration & Engagement
We offer a wide range of pods and booths in various configurations including open, part enclosed and fully enclosed. Our designs encourage spaces for individuals to focus without feeling isolated; instead, they function as centres for collaboration and communication. These areas are crafted for small group meetings, brainstorming sessions, or informal discussions without disturbing the wider workspace.
Improved Acoustics and Comfort
A major disadvantage of open-plan offices is the absence of acoustic privacy, which can lead to higher noise levels and distractions. Our meeting pods & booths tackle this concern by offering acoustically treated spaces where individuals can work or meet without interruptions. Furthermore, their ergonomic design emphasises comfort, featuring cushioned seating, LED lighting, and dual fan air circulation systems to enhance the overall user experience.
Aesthetic Appeal & Brand Representation
In addition to their practical advantages, we offer full custom and bespoke options on our pods & booths to enhance the visual appeal of office interiors, mirroring the organisation’s brand identity and culture. With sleek, contemporary designs and customisable finishes as standard, companies can tailor pods to reflect their unique aesthetic preferences, creating eye-catching focal points within the workspace. This design consideration not only beautifies the physical environment but also underscores the organisation’s dedication to innovation and employee well-being.
