Bay Work Pod is the brand's latest workplace
solution designed to enable concentration and comfort
ZEELAND,
Mich., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Herman
Miller's latest design, Bay Work Pod, is a new ergonomic and
aesthetically appealing workspace solution optimized for hybrid
work schedules and open floorplans. Available in two sizes, Bay
Work Pod is ideal for everything from focused solo work to video
calls that put individuals in their best light.
Designed with inclusivity at the forefront, the interior
features elements like background color, lighting optimized to
flatter all skin tones and clothing choices while on camera, and a
discrete fan to provide air circulation. A skylight opens up the
pod, allowing light to enter while still giving privacy to the
user. Both sizes can be paired with all the comforts that help
individuals work, with ample space for ergonomic seating
options––including the full portfolio of Herman Miller performance
seating and task chairs. The larger Pro version is ADA accessible,
designed with the necessary space to maneuver a wheelchair, and
sits at floor level with no threshold.
Rounded corners and corrugated fabric exterior are a stark
contrast to most office booths, and the appealing aesthetic cuts
down on noise pollution—both inside and outside the pod. An
optional occupancy indicator and frosted glass door and ceiling
options ensure that those looking to concentrate aren't distracted.
A conveniently located access panel for routing power is included
in all configurations. Optional monitor arms and bag hooks add
extra practicality.
"Bay Work Pod aims to address the frequently painful experience
of phone booth-style videoconferencing," says Noah Schwarz, Vice President of Product Design
for Herman Miller. "Rather than suffer perched atop an
ill-conceived stool or bench, Bay allows you to select any
ergonomic chair you'd like."
Available in a range of exterior upholstery options, the color
palette supports neutral to more expressive styling. Multiple
worksurface finish options allow interior styling personalization
to enhance or complement existing decor.
Bay Work Pod can be purchased by contract customers through
Herman Miller and MillerKnoll dealers. Visit the Herman Miller
website for your region for availability.
