BAY WORK POD
Not so easily distracted
Traditional office booths weren’t meant to withstand all the needs of a video call: ergonomic seating, good lighting, an attractive background, and distraction-free acoustics.
Nor were they made for concentration and comfort. With Bay Work Pod, it’s an enclosure that’s meant to be a contrast to the open office, whether that’s for focused solo work that feels like a refuge or a video call that puts you in your best light.

BAY’S DESIGN FEATURES
Its form, materiality, and customizable features make it unique—unlike any other work pod on the market today. Subtle design features speak to the idea that people’s states of mind and wellbeing can be enhanced by their physical surroundings, including :

- Discreet fan: Ventilation is well-known to influence cognitive function.
- Access panel for routing power: Minimizing visual clutter is a proven mood booster.
- Work surface convenience power: Easily accessible, with inclusivity top of mind.
- Durable PET acoustic wall: Sustainable, acoustically driven, and nice to look at.

- Work surface height options: Accommodates different needs, all based on the specific user.
- Work surface finish: Wood surfaces are known to de-stress and increase concentration.

DETAIL
BRING INTO FOCUS
Stepping into a Bay Work Pod should feel like you hit pause on the commotion from a busy office. It provides a short-term focus space for users, giving a chance to be present for heads-down work or calls.
Bay Work Pod’s rounded corners and corrugated fabric exterior are a stark contrast to most office booths, and the appealing aesthetic also cuts down on noise pollution—both inside and outside the pod. An optional occupancy indicator and frosted glass options ensure that those looking to concentrate don’t become a distraction themselves.
A COMFORT ZONE
Wherever you work in the office, you should be able to do so comfortably. Bay Work Pod doesn’t sacrifice comfort and can support either seated or standing postures. The skylight opens up the pod, allowing light to enter while still giving privacy to the user.
Pair it with all the comforts that help you work, like ergonomic seating options that make sense for your floorplate. Optional monitor arms and bag hooks add extra practicality. It’s designed to work with you, in whatever way works best.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
The Bay Work Pod is designed with inclusivity at the forefront, guaranteeing an experience that benefits all users. Interior features like background color and lighting are optimized to flatter, regardless of skin tones or clothing choice while on camera.
The larger Pro version is designed with a wider footprint and space to maneuver in a wheelchair. It sits at floor level with no threshold, making it ADA accessible too.
A COMPLETELY UNIQUE WORK POD
esigned to be far more than a booth for phone calls and video conversation, Bay Work Pod affords an inclusive space for individual respite and focus—all while fostering a broader atmosphere of belonging in the workplace. In short, going into the office doesn’t have to feel like an end to the privacy and comfort people got used to at home.
“Bay Work Pod aims to address the frequently painful experience of phone booth-style videoconferencing,” Noah Schwarz, vice president of product design at Herman Miller, says. ”Rather than suffer perched atop an ill-conceived stool or bench, Bay allows you to select any ergonomic chair you'd like. We have a few good recommendations, should you need them. Bay offers the right level of acoustic isolation for a call, videoconference, or moment of concentration, without the claustrophobic feel of an airtight space capsule. Given its straightforward assembly and disassembly, Bay can easily move about the floor to provide a moment of respite, wherever and whenever you might need it.”
A WORK POD DESIGNED TO FILL THE GAP BETWEEN THE PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL
As organizations adapt to work that is done both in offices and virtually, the need increases for flexible solutions in physical shared spaces. We know that workplace design matters and these features can have a meaningful impact on people’s states of mind.
Therefore, a new product was needed to fill the gap between the physical workplace and the virtual screen.
