Monolight’s ice-cubed shaped co-working was designed to meet the pandemic social distancing restrictions. Each “ice cube” is a pod where people can go and work without sharing breathing air with other visitors. The pods were designed by Agnieszka Białek from Monolight Studio, and its design certainly takes organic design to a next level! I this episode, Anieska tells our CEO, Nathalie Mezza-García, what designing through pandemic constraints entailed. And while the pods were first created to serve one person at a time, they are of course suitable for multiple people in various aquatic environments.
