Tulipan Pod

Tulipan is a new type of soft enclosure, a piece of furniture that offers a moment of separateness without the feeling of closing the door on its surroundings. Developed by London-based design studio Industrial Facility in response to the Annual Briefing on ‘defining’, Tulipan suggests a softer form for private space in the open plan. It’s not a room per se. Neither is it a phone booth. Instead, it’s a micro-quiet space where a comfortable seat and a small table work together to form an imminent architectural element.
