What Kabin does

Kabin is a private UK manufacturer of office privacy pods and related performance-sanctuary environments. It serves corporate offices and institutional buyers across government, healthcare, airports, education, and coworking, with a horizontally segmented proposition covering focused work, private meetings, and short wellbeing breaks. Its products are manufactured in a London facility using advanced production technology and experienced craftspeople. (Primary source:.)

The portfolio consists of Kabin 1, a single-occupant focus pod; Kabin 2, a two-person pod for confidential conversations; and Kubby, a personal wellbeing alcove. The designs use Prospect & Refuge principles, while Kabin OS provides a single interface for sound, light, air, and time settings and automatically adjusts the environment when a user sits down. Kabin also emphasizes repairability, refreshability, and over-the-air updates, with a stated design objective of an unlimited working life rather than the industry-standard 4-5 years.

Kabin primarily sells hardware through quote-based, one-time transactions; public prices and average selling prices are not disclosed. Custom colors, finishes, graphics, and power configurations are available for additional cost, and installation can be performed by Kabin, customer installers trained by Kabin, or managed preferred installers. Direct enterprise sales are supplemented by dealer and representative programs, showroom partners, and flat-packed worldwide shipping, with named coverage in the UK, EU, and US. (Primary source:.)
