4.30.15 | Chicago, IL | AGATI Furniture's newest product, The POD, is inspired by years of research about students’ preferred study environments. Users enter The POD at the side and sit in a comfortable, integrated seat surrounded by sound-absorbing upholstered panels. The side entrance allows for the surrounding wall to completely cover the user’s back, preventing wandering eyes from seeing laptop or tablet screens. While it may appear to be just an aesthetic feature, this creates a sense of safety, allowing one to worry less about the surroundings and more about the task at hand. Looking forward when seated in The POD, the user’s line of sight is directed toward the desk table and the front surround wall, minimizing distractions caught in the corner of one’s eyes. A slight backward leaning motion, however, allows one to easily see out of the side entrance and enjoy the macro environment.
