Custom Pods Designed Around Your Space, Brand and Technology
Custom pods allow you to adapt the appearance, interior and technology of a pod around your organisation and how the space will be used. Materials, surface wraps, furnishings, lighting, access controls, screens, connectivity and specialist equipment can all be considered as part of one coordinated solution.
Gibbsonn can customise an established pod design or develop a more individual solution for offices, customer-facing environments, podcasts, presentations, exhibitions and specialist applications. Options can range from branded vinyl and upgraded furniture to integrated televisions, computer connections, fob access, podcasting equipment, music systems, air filtration and UV cleaning technology.
Our turnkey service brings the product, fit-out and technical requirements together. Discuss your idea with our team or book a private showroom visit to explore what could be created for your organisation.
When a Standard Pod Is Not Quite Enough
An off-the-peg pod can be ideal when the requirement is straightforward, but some projects need more than a standard colour and furniture package.
The pod may need to reflect a corporate identity, complement an existing interior or create a memorable customer experience. It might require controlled access, specialist lighting, integrated audiovisual technology or equipment for producing podcasts and digital content. In an exhibition or promotional setting, the pod may also need to attract attention and communicate a clear brand message.
Customisation enables the pod to respond to these requirements without losing the convenience of a self-contained, modular space. Rather than trying to add separate equipment and finishes after installation, the important elements can be considered together from the beginning.
This approach can create anything from a branded office meeting pod to a private recording booth, product demonstration space, customer service pod or technology-enabled presentation room. It also allows practical requirements - such as power, data, ventilation, access and cable management - to be incorporated into the design rather than treated as an afterthought.
Custom Materials, Furnishings and Technology
The level of customisation will depend on the chosen pod and its intended use. Gibbsonn can help you explore a wide selection of visual, practical and technical options.
Materials and finishes may include alternative exterior surfaces, acoustic fabrics, decorative panels and upgraded interior finishes. Vinyl wrapping can introduce brand colours, campaign graphics, logos or full printed designs without requiring the underlying pod to be permanently altered.
Furnishings can be selected around the activity taking place inside. Options may include lounge seating, office chairs, stools, benches, tables, desks, shelving and storage. The layout can be planned for individual work, meetings, presentations, interviews, customer consultations or recording sessions.
Technology can include televisions, display screens, monitor mounts, computer connections, charging points, USB ports, power sockets and data connections. For media use, we can consider podcasting equipment, microphones, cameras, speakers, music systems and suitable lighting for recording or video calls.
Access can also be adapted where greater control is required. Depending on the product and project, this may include locks, fob access or integration with a suitable access-control arrangement.
Other possible features include adjustable or specialist lighting, enhanced air filtration and compatible UV cleaning technology. Any cleaning or filtration system will be assessed according to the equipment selected, its intended application and the manufacturer’s specifications rather than presented as a universal feature of every pod.
Throughout the process, Gibbsonn will consider how each element affects acoustic comfort, ventilation, electrical requirements, usability and available interior space.
One Team to Coordinate Your Complete Custom Pod
Custom pod projects often involve several different elements: the pod manufacturer, finishes, furniture, branding, electrical work, connectivity, audiovisual equipment and installation. Without a coordinated approach, it is easy for important details to be missed.
Gibbsonn provides a turnkey service that brings these requirements together. Drawing on Andy’s extensive office fit-out experience, we can consider both the pod and the environment in which it will be installed.
Support can include consultation and selection, site surveys, space planning and CAD, bespoke design, branding and vinyl, power and data coordination, delivery and installation. Where the existing space needs to be adjusted to accommodate the pod or its technology, Gibbsonn can help manage that work too.
You can begin with an established pod from a leading manufacturer and customise selected elements, or discuss a more extensive bespoke modular solution. We will help you understand what is achievable, identify the most practical approach and coordinate the relevant specialists.
Our large private showroom in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, is an ideal place to begin. During a private appointment, you will have exclusive access to the pods available on site and the undivided attention of our sales team. You can experience different products, examine materials and discuss how your preferred technology, furnishings and branding could be incorporated.
Gibbsonn supports custom pod projects in London, Hertfordshire, across the South East and throughout the UK.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Custom Pod FAQs
What parts of a pod can be customised?
Depending on the chosen product, customisation may include exterior materials, colours, vinyl wrapping, acoustic fabrics, furnishings, lighting, power, data, screens, access controls and specialist equipment. Gibbsonn will confirm which options are compatible with your preferred pod.
Can you wrap a pod with our branding?
Yes. Vinyl wrapping can add logos, brand colours, printed graphics or campaign artwork to suitable pod surfaces. Gibbsonn can coordinate the design, production and application as part of the wider project.
Can a custom pod include a television and computer connections?
Yes. Suitable pods can be configured with televisions, display screens, monitor mounts, power, USB charging and computer or data connections. Requirements should be planned early so cables and equipment can be integrated neatly.
Can you create a pod for podcasting or recording?
Yes. A pod can be developed for podcasting, interviews or other content production. The specification may include microphones, cameras, screens, lighting, speakers, connectivity and appropriate furnishings. Acoustic expectations and equipment requirements will be discussed before the design is finalised.
Can a pod have controlled or fob access?
Potentially, yes. Locks, fob access and other access-control options may be possible depending on the pod, door system and site requirements. Gibbsonn can review compatibility during the consultation.
What is the difference between a custom pod and a bespoke modular solution?
A custom pod usually begins with an existing product that is adapted through finishes, furniture, branding or technology. A bespoke modular solution provides greater freedom over the structure, layout and function where standard pod formats cannot meet the requirement.
