Capsule Arm Chair
Solutions to social distance in a common workspace
First designed by Kateryna Sokolova for Casala one year ago, the capsule collection gains new relevance in a post COVID-19 work environment. With many people working from home or having to ensure social distancing measures in their office, the cocoon-like shape of the capsule armchair offers a comfortable place where you can switch off from the outside world and be protected from distractions. The capsule armchair can be located in the middle of a roomy open-space office or inside your apartment. It’s designed by sokolova as a place to concentrate on your work goals and dive into the process. One of the most important elements of the design is the acoustic absorbing upholstery that lines the inside and outside. This material allows you to speak on the phone without distracting others or to be protected from external noises to a large extent. The form of the capsule also ensures you maintain social distance from others.
