Airea Office Pods

The Airea range is an easy to assemble, expandable room system allowing varying levels of visual and acoustic privacy.

The pods come in a range of different sizes and shapes as outlined below.

Round End Rooms

These allow you to create different spaces including half round pods, round pods, half round/half square rooms, lozenge shaped rooms, and presentation pods in various sizes.

Square End Rooms

Square and half square pod configurations also allow you to create rectangular and corner room units. These modular units can be expanded to suit practically every requirement.

Configurations

Round, square and half square pods can be combined to make round end modules with party walls, square end modules with party walls or open sides and round rectangular end modules with party walls.

Each pod comes with the following as standard:

A number of optional accessories are available including fans, intake cowls (to connect to existing 125mm duct size air con units), power & data modules, adjustable monitor arms and fixed monitor brackets.

A selection of manifestation strips are also available. These include dots & barcodes. These strips prevent people from inadvertently walking into clear panels or doors.

The coloured acrylic panels come in frosted, teal, mushroom, olive green, lime green, red, orange, amber, purple, royal blue and magenta.

Upholstery comes from the Lucia or Xtreme Plus Camira ranges.

Doors are available in frosted, clear or coloured acrylic.

Acoustic performance can be maximised by placing the pods on a carpeted surface.

The Airea range also includes phone booths (with or without doors) and optional cove interior architecture which allows you to install straight and curved screens within your pod in addition to power/data modules, shelving, desks and workstations.
