Vetrospace Brings Pod Air Quality into Focus at Habitare Pro

High-quality sound insulation has already become almost a given in today’s office pods. Vetrospace differentiates itself by bringing pod air quality into the spotlight. At Habitare Pro, the company will showcase modular spaces that provide a healthy working environment through intelligent ventilation and advanced air filtration. Vetrospace solutions are also known for their maximum adaptability, giving designers new opportunities to implement pods in more demanding environments than offices – from customer service to healthcare and industrial facilities.

 

Pod Air Quality – the Overlooked Competitive Factor

Among high-quality pod manufacturers, sound insulation and privacy are already well taken care of, but air quality is still rarely addressed. Discussions often focus on manual ventilation controls and cubic meters per second, rather than what we actually breathe while working in a pod – and how factors such as CO₂ concentration affect our cognitive performance. Excess carbon dioxide leads to fatigue, reduced cognitive performace, and headaches, directly lowering productivity and well-being.

 

Vetrospace introduces a new concept: PAQ – Pod Air Quality. The intelligent ventilation control system monitors CO₂ levels in real time and automatically adjusts airflow to maintain optimal conditions, supporting focus, memory, alertness, and decision-making. Standard G4 filters ensure high-quality indoor air, while optional HEPA H13 filters and air conditioning unit provide even greater comfort and health benefits.

 

The Office is also a Community – Noise is Not the Whole Story

A recent Workplace Unlimited study (Osleand & Raw, 2024) shows that while the home is often perceived as better suited for focused and individual tasks, offices play a stronger role in supporting career development, culture, mentoring, and social cohesion. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is often overlooked in workplaces, despite its direct impact on performance and well-being.

“Pod manufacturers often focus on solving challenges related to noise and concentration. That is important, but at the same time, air quality is often forgotten – even though research clearly shows its direct impact on performance and well-being. At Vetrospace, we put air quality at the center. At the same time, we want to emphasize that the office is not just a quiet workstation – it is also a place of community and purpose. Pods can ideally combine both: offering privacy and focus while strengthening the sense of connection and meaning across the entire workplace,” says Mikko Hannula, CEO of Vetrospace.

 

Modularity and Customization

The Vetrospace range includes 10 standard sizes and is extensively customizable to meet client needs. Designers can adapt dimensions, materials, finishes, and technologies according to project requirements, ensuring that pods integrate seamlessly into offices, public spaces, or other environments.

At Habitare Pro, booth 7B110, Vetrospace invites visitors to experience the pods firsthand and discuss design possibilities with its experts. The message is clear: a healthy and adaptable space is the core of the modern workplace – noise control is only one part of the whole.
