Designed by Carl Gustav Magnusson and manufactured by nienkamper, the Toko Meeting Pod is a modular system of self-supporting structures designed to create unique spatial environments within open spaces.
With a seemingly Toko allows you to configure distinct acoustical environments for a variety of uses based on the needs and activities of the modern workplace.
For its endless variety of configurations and “smart” design, Toko Meeting Pod has been awarded a 2023 GOOD DESIGN Award by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Whether it’s a place to collaborate or concentrate – to meet or to eat, Toko allows for the creation of beautiful and functional workspaces.
Toko’s freestanding design enables relocation or reconfiguration as well as independence from traditional building architecture, without incurring the costs associated with conventional drywall construction.
Available in a range of different combinations of materials: wood veneer, engineered wood, and wool felt panels, Toko’s wall structure provides excellent visual and acoustic separation.
Flexible Wood: wood and engineered wood are made flexible with a patented incision process developed by Switzerland-based Dukta, in partnership with Spinneybeck.
Complex incisions allow textile-like properties plus create transparency, allowing light in and sound absorption unexpected from most wood products.
Acoustic panels stretched overhead to provide additional sound absorption while still allowing light making Toko an ideal solution for video conferencing hubs.
Toko is offered with integrated power and can accommodate meeting tables and seating areas alike.
Built-in credenza storage with optional refrigeration is available, as well as wall mounts for monitors, whiteboards, or other shelving.
With no electricity constraints and no floor-to-ceiling partitions, Toko is a purposeful modular architecture that offers companies an affordable, sustainable, and flexible alternative to fixed construction and traditional office design.
Toko is designed to create unique, semi-secluded areas within open spaces.
Toko is shown at NeoCon in an unfinished natural walnut frame with Linar Flexible Wood in MDF.
