A pod is usually judged by what happens inside it. This one is worth judging at the door: a 38-inch doorway over a half-inch threshold, which Framery states allows easy entry for wheelchair users in accordance with ADA guidelines, on a leaf that swings a full 180 degrees. The desk behind it runs from 26.8 to 46.5 inches on the electric version. One room therefore serves the colleague who works standing and the colleague who arrives seated, without a second specification and without anyone having to ask.

Inside is a full-sized workstation, not a shelf: a desk of 42.9 by 22.8 inches rated at 132 pounds, with a fixed leg at 27.6 inches as standard and the electric column as the upgrade. Speech drops 30 dB in Class A under ISO 23351-1, which is what lets the pod stand beside workstations instead of off in a corner. Airflow reaches 112 CFM and reads temperature and humidity to decide how hard to run, then flushes the room faster once you step out. Two presets sit on the eight-inch touchscreen: 300 lux on the desk for work, 500 lux on the face for a call.

One thing Framery leaves out on purpose is the chair. The pod ships without a seat — in the drawings it is marked shown for scale only — and that is where La Mercanti comes in, because a desk with twenty inches of travel is worth exactly as much as the task chair underneath it. The rest stays where you put it, all 881 pounds of it, with a reusable movability kit for the day the floor gets re-planned and a door that opens left and only left — worth knowing while the plan is still on screen.

FAQ

Can someone using a wheelchair get into this pod?
Framery states that the wide doorway and low threshold allow easy entry for wheelchair users in accordance with ADA guidelines. The opening measures 82.6 by 38 inches, the threshold is half an inch, and the door swings a full 180 degrees. Worth confirming against your own project requirements, but it is the rare pod that publishes the numbers.
How far does the desk actually travel?
The standard leg is fixed at 27.6 inches. The electric column runs 26.8 to 46.5 inches, which is close to twenty inches of travel: the low end suits a seated user, the high end is standing height for most people. The top measures 42.9 by 22.8 inches and takes 132 pounds.
Why does the pod arrive without a chair?
Because the seat is the one part of a workstation that has to match the person, not the room. Framery marks it chair not included, shown for scale only, and leaves the choice open so the pod can meet whatever seating standard the rest of your floor already follows.
Will two monitors fit on the stand?
The stand carries a single wide screen as standard, with an optional dual upgrade for two 24-inch screens side by side, in landscape or portrait. Power is on hand for both: two outlets on the desk, two underneath, with USB-C PD at 65 W and LAN ports available.
Which way does the door open?
Left-handed, and on Gradus Work it cannot be reversed. That single line on the spec sheet decides which side of the pod faces the aisle, which makes it a drawing decision rather than a delivery-day discovery. Delivery times are confirmed in writing at order confirmation.

Fitting the pod to the person who books it

Five checks that turn a one-person pod into a workstation someone chooses on purpose rather than settles for.

Measure the doorway, not the footprint
The pod occupies 67.9 by 49.7 inches, but the number that decides who can use it is the 38-inch opening over a half-inch threshold. Check the clear space in front of that opening against the aisle it faces, not just the footprint.
Choose the leg before the finish
Fixed at 27.6 inches or electric from 26.8 to 46.5. Finishes can be swapped later through the wall panel library; the leg is the decision people live with every morning for a decade.
Bring the chair
No seat ships with the pod. Specify it in the same order, at the same height range as the desk, and the ergonomics arrive complete instead of being improvised from whatever was spare on the floor.
Set the screens before the wiring
One wide display or two 24-inch screens, landscape or portrait, decides where the two on-desk and two under-desk outlets get used, and whether the optional LAN port earns its place.
Pick the default light
300 lux on the desk for work, 500 lux on the face for a call. Set the mode that matches how that person spends the day, and the pod stops being something they have to configure before they can start.
