Introducing Bay Work Pod

Designed to fill the gap between physical and virtual work

A video booth tailor made for privacy, focus, and comfort, Bay Work Pod is Herman Miller’s newest solution for hybrid work and open floor plans.

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.

Something for everyone

The Bay Work Pod is designed with inclusivity at the forefront, guaranteeing an experience that benefits all users. Interior finishes 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.

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.

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:
