What is a lounge pod chair and where is it used?

A pod chair (also called a cocoon chair or egg chair) is an enveloping, high-backed lounge seat with curved sides that partially surround the occupant. The design provides visual and acoustic privacy — the high walls reduce peripheral distractions and create a semi-enclosed personal space. Pod chairs are popular in open-plan offices for focus work, calls, or short breaks. They come in fixed-base and swivel versions; swivel allows the user to face inward (private) or outward (engaged) depending on task. Acoustic foam infill in the pod walls improves sound absorption. Pod chairs are a premium product — expect to pay $500–$2,000+ per piece. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
