The best workplaces are like ecosystems

What are the best workplaces made of? There are

probably as many answers to this question as there

are people answering to it, but the best workplaces

all have one thing in common: they make you feel

happy that Monday is here again.

At Martela, we work with spaces. Through our work

we have researched the best workplaces and found out

that they are not limited by the office walls, but they are

wider ecosystems, where office is the heart but work can

be done in several locations: at home, while commuting,

in a coffee shop or wherever you are.

The key is to understand how work is done at each

workplace, and to design the space so that everyone

finds their own space for work - just like in an ecosystem,

every species finds its own place. Our Pod family has

been created exactly for this need: providing varying

degrees of privacy and also places to gather.

PodBooth has proven to have the best soundproof

qualities of all the pods in the market. Initially designed

to bring a peaceful atmosphere to its surroundings,

we are happy to say that PodBooth goes even beyond.

We offer a wide selection of fabrics and other materials

that can be adapted to our furniture. With the right kind of

materials and tones, you can create a harmonious working

environment for your office.

With one single product family you can create a workplace

with areas for quiet and focused working as well as

relaxation and spontaneous meetings. Both modern and

timeless, the Pod family is designed to support activity-

based working and to maintain a beautiful look and feel at

your working environment.

PodLounge

Perfect for chill-out time and communi-

cation, PodLounge, is a versatile furniture

system that includes a seat and several

screen options. It can be used both on

its own and in a group of many modules.

Thanks to its compact size, the seat fits

even in small spaces and as with our

furniture in general, it’s easy to move to

a new place.

Each module consists of a seat for two

people and is available with a fixed screen

in three different versions at two heights.

PodMeeting

The PodMeeting module consists of two comfortable

and sound-damping PodSofas which are connected

by an upholstered wall unit, to which an elegant and

lightweight conference table top is assembled. The unit

can be electrified and equipped with a whiteboard.

By setting up several PodMeeting modules in open

spaces, you can create multiple small, room-like

spaces without having to build any walls.

PodMeetingCove

PodMeeting Cove is an efficient meeting place for up to four

people. The module comprises a table and a surrounding sound-

absorbent screen upholstered in fabric that forms a ‘cabin’ around

the table. The PodLounge seat unit can also be used to create

a cosy and soft nook for meetings or working alone.

PodMeeting Xpress

PodMeeting Xpress is an efficient

meeting place for spontaneous

encounters. The basic module is

upholstered with fabric to absorb

sound and includes a table for four

persons. Both horisontal or vertical

versions are available depending on

how much privacy is desired. The

module can even be equipped with

a table on both sides of the screen.

PodWork Xpress

Today, many people are mobile workers

and are able to carry out their more

simple tasks on their mobile phones

and laptops. However, sometimes you

just have to stop and reply to emails

or focus on other work tasks. The

PodWork Xpress workstation has been

designed precisely for this.

PodWork Xpress offers a private place

for short-term working in an activity

based office. The table top is available

either in sitting or standing height.

PodWork Xpress coat rack

To create a uniform workplace interior,

we designed PodWork Xpress to be used

versatilely as a place to store clothes. The

matching clothes storage unit has a shelf for

shoes, a hat rack and a place for hangers.

“There are plenty of attractive clothes

racks on the market but their design is too

often hidden under the hanging clothes and

they create a restless visual element. The

PodWork Xpress clothes storage unit keeps

clothes in better order and is a calming

visual element in an open space,” says Kari

Leino, Product & Design Director at Martela.

PodWork

PodWork workstations provide extra

privacy in open-plan workplaces. More

and more workplaces have a need

for spaces in which work requiring

concentration can be done in peace.

PodWork workstations have been

designed to meet this need: the two

different workstation modules can

easily be combined to produce the

desired layout.

PodWork features two different

workstation modules, one of them

more open and the other more private.

By combining these, it is possible to

create a variety of workspaces. The

idea is that the PodWork modules

allow convertibility and flexibility in

workplace design, whatever the size

of the office.

PodSofa / PodSeat

PodSofa and PodSeat offer peace and quiet

for people working in noisy spaces but also

suit one-on-one discussions and phone calls

when you don’t want to disturb others.

PodSofa

The PodSofa is a comfortable

and sound-insulating seat for

two. It can be used individually

or in groups to create small,

room-like spaces for common

areas at workplaces. The window

openings in the PodSofa function

as armrests.

PodSeat

The nest-like PodSeat has the same features

but seats one. The optional swivel base enables

the user to turn towards other people or away

from them for privacy and quiet. Thanks to their

compact dimensions, the PodSofa and PodSeat

are easy to place in many kinds of spaces and

it is also easy to move them around. Both are

available with rotating laptop tables.

Better working environments

At Martela, we are constantly looking for ways to do things better. Work changes faster than ever, and future offices and schools will need new solutions. To help you grow your business and reach those future goals, we have identified several areas where our expert services can support you on the way.

Workplace as a Service

Keep your working environment up-to-date and optimised at

all times. Our Workplace as a Service is a model which ensures

your workplace can be adapted to your organisation’s needs.

Optimal working environment is a key to improving productivity,

increasing wellbeing and reducing overall costs.

Product care

Our furniture is durable and manufactured to sustain heavy use.

By proper maintenance you can prolong the product lifecycle

even more. Martela furniture care includes maintenance and

replacement of parts that wear out, cleaning upholstery as

well as spare parts and supplies.

Utilisation measurement

Do you know how your office will meet the needs of hybrid work

in the future? Real-time data about the work environment tells

you how meeting rooms and other facilities are being used, and if

your facilities are over or under-utilised. With data, you can plan

and optimise your workplace with agility without having to pay

for unnecessary square metres – and your employees continue

to have the best possible work environment!

o4i Design Studio is a Stockholm-based design agency

focusing on contemporary public and domestic furniture.

o4i Design Studio has designed the growing Pod family

for Martela, creating an entity that brings balance and

a harmonious atmosphere to the entire office.

“Our approach to workplace design is human-centred

in the sense that user needs and behaviours are always

the starting point and dictate the functions required for

each and every project. Through our work we’ve learned

a lot about how public spaces affect people’s wellbeing

and how new technologies are currently the driving force

changing the work culture in our society. We see it as

part of our mission to tackle the challenges and explore

the advantages of this change to boost wellbeing and

productivity by finding new and innovative solutions.”
