About Capsule
Kateryna Sokolova has designed the Capsule to offer a stylish solution to the increasing need for concentration and privacy in large open office environments. The shape and function of Capsule is inspired by a cocoon, which guarantees security, comfort and innovation. In large and busy spaces, Capsule is an object that creates privacy without being completely cut off or isolated from the environment. This makes it possible to be able to use the telephone, read, work and relax undisturbed. An additional advantage is that Capsule absorbs ambient noise through the upholstery on the inside and outside. Duo upholstery makes the versatility in choice of fabric colour combinations almost infinite and this makes Capsule to fit into any interior. Capsule won the prestigious FX International Interior Design Award "Product of the Year" in 2018.
