The coronavirus has sent many workers home for the indefinite future, leading to haphazard home office setups and working from couches. Autonomous, a company that makes home office furniture, is releasing a tiny office pod.

The Zen Work Pod is available for preorder through the end of August at different prices depending on how many have already been sold. The first ten pods are priced at $5,400, up to $14,900 for later buyers. The "monastically inspired design," as described by Autonomous, has just enough room for a one person office setup, with a desk and chair.

Autonomous says that working from the minimalist pod will eliminate distractions and be "your own private working realm." For now, preorders are only being accepted in the continental US.

Here's what it's like.

The pod is made from sustainable oak and walnut, aluminum, and tempered glass.

The space is small and enclosed for privacy while working, but nearly ten foot tall ceilings and a glass wall make it feel open.
