BuildUp Pod by Glimakra of Sweden is two new acoustic rooms launching 2022! Designed by Kauppi & Kauppi as cozy corners for co-working or solitude work in shared spaces.
The design is characterized by openness, functionality, and accessibility – with the mission to create inviting working and meeting spaces, and to contribute to pleasant sound atmospheres. Rooms with an equally airy feeling as embracing coziness, following the overall design grammar of the BuildUp system of pods and open pavilions, previously launched by Glimakra of Sweden 2021.
The oval shaped BuildUp Pod (3m²) is offered in two different configurations. The Coupé version is designed to host work sessions or informal meetings for 2-4 persons, with facing sofas and a centered pedestal table. The Work edition is prepared for one or two persons, furnished with both a writing desk and a sofa for reading and recreational pauses. As the name suggests, the round BuildUp Pod (1,4m²) is intended for one individual in demand for a small personal corner. Available with either a work desk or a comfortable sofa - providing a calm, semi-muted space without visual distraction.
“In shared working spaces, we always look for that cozy corner with a pleasant airy atmosphere and diffused light. Our ideal space for concentration offers a muted but still audible contact with surrounding activities, and it allows us to easily adjust the level of visual distraction. We wanted to design the new pod as a workspace to long for - and here it is!” - Kauppi & Kauppi
The fabric covered wall elements have equally good sound absorption on in- and outsides, which means that the pods also serve as an efficient acoustic solution for the greater surrounding interior. The architectural scale makes the pod rooms well suited to divide and define spaces, and the self-supporting construction is easy to install.
