An architect has unveiled a system of pods for office workers that will provide a sterile, isolated environment for each slave employee to operate within.

Welcome to the new normal, wage slave. Enter your sterile pod and get to work.

The pods, which won the DNA Paris 2020 Design Award in the ‘Responsible Design category’, have the snappy title of  ‘Q.workntine,’ and are formed in hexagonal structures, much like sections of a hive.

How fitting.

Each pod has a built-in ventilation system, with a sky light, and would only be accessible by facial recognition.
