Smart Pods: A Better Way – and Place – to Work

Office pod market-leader Framery has launched an all-new generation of Smart Pods. The pods are designed to make the workday easier by providing private yet fully connected spaces that are easy to book and automatically adapt to the needs and preferences of any user. Seamlessly incorporating advanced technologies, the family of four smart pods redefine what’s possible in the workplace, yet cost less than previous generations of product.

Framery CEO, Samu Hällfors, states: “It’s time to update how we think about the office. It’s no longer enough to simply provide a place to work. At Framery, we've gathered more than 8,000 pieces of user feedback to create the ultimate privacy pods, made for people. It’s a transformative move that marks the start of the smart pod era and the culmination of our own evolution from a furniture company to a technology brand.”

The new smart pods build on the huge success of the Framery One - the world’s first pod optimized for video calls, launched in 2021 - but take a generational step up in terms of patent-pending technology, flexibility and sustainability. Enhancing the user experience and reducing workplace frustrations are the driving force behind these innovations.

The new Framery Smart Pods cost less than earlier generations of pods. Joint research and analysis from CBRE research shows they are also significantly cheaper than the alternative of building new meeting rooms of equivalent size. Extending their flexibility further still, the new smart pods can be synchronized with the wider office via Framery’s workplace technologies suite, which includes Framery Connect sensors that can be added to existing workspaces (pods or traditional meeting rooms), Connect analytics and the Framery App. The suite is already available to 12,000 companies using Framery around the world.
