Autonomous Zen Work Pod
Autonomous, makers of notable office furniture, is now selling pre-orders for their mobile work-at-home office. It’s a complete structure designed and built to accommodate a private work space away from your actual home (that is, if you have the space for the footprint). As a complete setup, the structure also comes with Autonomous’ SmartDesk 2 and Kinn Chair.
Starting prices are as low as $5400, but don’t expect those to last as the pre-order seems to be going in phases with each phase jumping up in price significantly. You can check out the details here.
