The Pod Set is a modular soft seating system designed for libraries, reading nooks, breakout areas and collaborative classroom spaces. Available in small and large sizes, individual pieces combine into circular or curved arrangements that create comfortable, defined spaces for group work, quiet reading and informal learning. Easy to move and reconfigure, it suits both structured activities and student-led use throughout the school day.
The Pod Set is a versatile soft seating system that helps schools create comfortable, purposeful spaces for collaborative learning, quiet reading and informal gathering. Its modular quarter-circle and pod-with-back pieces can be arranged as a complete circle, configured into curved clusters or positioned individually to define breakout zones in libraries, classrooms and learning hubs.
Each piece is constructed with high-quality, high-density elephant foam for a seat and back that holds its shape in high-use school environments. A durable Lustrell Charisma vinyl upholstery provides high abrasion resistance and HealthGuard antibacterial properties, making the Pod Set practical as well as comfortable. Black vinyl base trim and black buffer feet give a clean, consistent finish across the range.
The Pod Set is available in small and large sizes, and pieces can be purchased individually or as a complete set. A complete set consists of four quarter-circle pods and two pods with backs. A broad palette of vinyl colours allows schools to coordinate with their wider learning space design. Pieces are lightweight enough for teachers and students to move and rearrange as learning needs change.
