  • description:
    The Meeting Pod is a faceted structure – carved from a 9’x9’x9’ cube and wrapped in radiatta pine plywood – serving as an intimate meeting space within an open office environment. The structure was CNC-milled from plywood, then sheathed in painted or veneered MDF, and wired for lighting. Built-in seating and a custom-fit rolling table provide space for lounging and collaborative work within. A constellation of LED puck lights embedded in the ceiling provide playful task lighting.
