POD Duo by Ergonomic Home

POD Duo study carrels give two students or colleagues a quiet, comfortable place to meet, collaborate, or study. These two-person study booths combine upholstered privacy panels, integrated power, and durable tabletops into one flexible solution that easily integrates into existing floor plans. Arrange POD Duos back-to-back, in rows, clusters, or serpentine layouts, or pair them with POD Singles for customized study zones.

Stylish Workspace for Offices

Beyond libraries and universities, the POD Duo is a perfect solution for offices that need small, private meeting areas without the cost of building walls. These two-person booths give colleagues a quiet place to collaborate and focus, supported by comfortable seating and integrated work surfaces. The Kensington Seat option (paired with PODs) offers upright posture support, cushioned comfort, and ergonomic design for long hours of seated work.

Modern Study Carrels for Today’s Students

Traditional study carrels often feel closed-off and uninviting. POD Duo reimagines the concept by placing seating inside three upholstered walls, creating a more comfortable, welcoming environment. This thoughtful design promotes privacy, reduces distractions, and boosts focus — while still maintaining an open, safe feel in the library. Students benefit from increased productivity, ergonomic seating, and integrated power access at a fraction of the cost of building study rooms.

Trusted by Libraries Nationwide

“Over the past two years, I’ve purchased 16 POD study carrels for the MiraCosta College Library. Students love the acoustical design, which allows them to focus but still remain aware of their surroundings. The integrated tabletop provides space for laptops and textbooks, while a small side shelf keeps backpacks secure. The cushioned seat is comfortable yet supportive, and the durability fits perfectly with our busy environment. Students consistently tell us that the PODs make them feel valued, and that the library cares about their needs as 21st-century learners.”
