Research revealed that pods currently available on the market consist
of fixed seating areas confined in a shell intended only for short term use.
They do not offer adjustable seating and do not integrate the latest
technologies in their design.
We also found that the cost was very high and that most did not
incorporate Eco friendly materials in their construction.
Target markets:
Permanent pod installations: Internet cafes, libraries, corporate lobbies,
airports and train stations.
Temporary installation: Conferences, expositions, festivals
and corporate events.
