The standard desk is a design that is visually impactful but also very practical. The full wraparound structure is of 18mm birch ply with a bullnose edge which has been sanded and varnished to leave the layers of laminate visible. This gives it a very substantial, contemporary look. To maximise the space underneath the desk it is supported on a stainless steel leg.
There is also a desk upgrade available which comprises a solid hardwood option. The design and location of this desk enables it to double-up as a meeting table with space to seat two clients. When this desk is selected the theme of the office is changed to Walnut throughout.
A pigeon-hole unit is easily to hand, sitting on top of the desk and following the curve of the building. Deep enough to house files and A4 stationery, this unit is perfect for storing letters and sundry items in the open pigeon-holes and also has three units with doors. Behind the seating position are two stylish filing cabinet units, each with two drawers containing suspension racking.
The entire floor is fitted with Quick-Step Impressive laminate flooring, which not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also has a water-repellent ‘Hydroseal’ coating to provide a durable surface.
Underfloor heating combines with high-efficiency insulation to provide a supremely warm and comfortable environment. The heating is operated via a timer unit for maximum convenience and economy.
The standard lighting is a set of downlighters that provide ample but discreet illumination. There is also the option for decorative wall lights, front and back, which have a uniquely attractive effect on the appearance and atmosphere of the room.
Polished chrome 240v sockets are spaced around the Pod to suit specific needs. All sockets come complete with a USB adapter..
