The Tulipan Pod: A One-Person Workspace You Can Close for Privacy

Designed by Industrial Facility for +Halle

By Rain Noe - June 11

in Furniture Design

Danish furniture brand +Halle has unveiled their new Tulipan Pod, a soft-sided, enclosable workspace. In their words, it's "a piece of furniture that offers a moment of separateness without the feeling of closing the door on its surroundings."

"Developed by London-based design studio Industrial Facility in response to our 4th Annual Briefing* based on the theme of 'defining', TULIPAN suggests a softer form for private space in the open plan. It's not a room per se. Neither is it a phone booth. Instead, it's a micro-quiet space where a comfortable seat and a small table work together to form an imminent architectural element."

Apologies for the lack of a link to the product; at press time the Tulipan Pod was not yet up on +Halle's website.

Take a siesta until it's time to clock out. Nobody will know. The perfect answer to those who begrudgingly returned to the office (although they already come in, swipe their badge, grab a cup of coffee & go home).

It's a tiny cubicle with a door. I'd rather have a regular cubicle.
