Bay Work Pod has been recognized by the international design competition, Red Dot. Every year, Red Dot award sets out to find the year’s best products. The products selected by the Red Dot jury—made up of 40 international experts who test, discuss, and evaluate each entry individually—are scored based on four qualities of outstanding design: function, aesthetic, ease of use, and responsibility.

Bay Work Pod is an ergonomic and aesthetically appealing workspace solution optimized for hybrid work schedules and open floorplans. Designed with inclusivity at the forefront, the interior features elements like background color, lighting optimized to flatter all skin tones and clothing choices while on camera, and a discrete fan to provide air circulation. A skylight opens up the pod, allowing light to enter while still giving privacy to the user.

Available in two sizes, the larger Pro version is ADA accessible, designed with the necessary space to maneuver a wheelchair, and sits at floor level with no threshold. Both standard and Pro sizes can be paired with all the comforts that help individuals work, with ample space for ergonomic seating options—including the full portfolio of Herman Miller performance seating and task chairs.

A range of exterior upholstery options, the color palette supports neutral to more expressive styling. Multiple worksurface finish options allow interior styling personalization to enhance or complement existing decor.

Bay Work Pod can be purchased by contract customers through Herman Miller and MillerKnoll dealers
