People just need solitude sometimes, whether it be for intense focus, rejuvenation, or private meetings. However, not all office spaces accommodate for that.<\/p>\n<p>For many of us, phone calls and video conferences are a regular occurrence throughout the day, and they often contain confidential information that not everyone in the office needs or wants to hear. These calls can be disruptive to the workflow of others in open and collaborative workspaces. As a result, designers have been pushing for the application of office pods. Office pods act as \u2018privacy on demand\u2019, giving users the option of withdrawing to a private space when needed throughout the day.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote pull-quote-left \"><p>Design, to us, is all about simplicity and nature, about giving our best, paying attention to details, and always evolving, creating for a better future<\/p><cite>Pekka Eskelinen<span>Head of Design at Taiga Concept<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<p>Steelcase is partnering with Taiga Concept, a Finland-based company, to introduce the Lohko Phone Booth in Asia Pacific markets.
