Story
A meeting place with one entrance
Introduced in 2012 and updated in 2021, Alcove Cabin translates the Alcove idea into an enclosure for a small group. The facing seats make conversation central while the surrounding panels reduce visual and acoustic exposure.
From seating to workspace
Optional table and connection equipment allow the cabin to support working sessions rather than serving only as a lounge setting.
