ThinkPod

An elliptical room on legs: desk on one side of the dividing line, lounge on the other, and the largest share of the floor deliberately left as nothing. Twenty-one square meters, most of them open space.

The furniture is drawn to disappear — a wider curved desk following the shell, a lounge surface that accepts sleep, smart-glass portholes on an eight-point ring. Ambient light, climate, sound: integrated, unmentioned.

The design principles are borrowed and stated plainly: innovative, useful, unobtrusive, honest, thorough. As little design as possible. The pod is what remains.
