The Problem Airpod Responds To

The start-up Airpod was founded in response to a growing issue found in nearly all public spaces. In particular, airports, bus stations, and train terminals often lack private areas for rest. As a result, travelers struggle to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. Therefore, the need for a new solution became increasingly clear.

This same challenge motivated the clients who approached us with their idea. From the beginning, they asked us to shape the concept through industrial design. At the same time, it became clear that the project required deep research into travel behavior and user experience. Because of this, the design phase began with careful observation and analysis.

Interior-First Design Approach

We started the design process from the inside out. First, we created ergonomic sketches of the interior layout. Next, we focused on storage accessibility. As a result, both open and hidden storage areas now sit within easy reach.

Industrial designer Andrej Kregar focused strongly on demanding users. At the same time, affordability remained an important goal. Therefore, every feature balances comfort with practicality. Throughout the process, we evaluated not only form but also real everyday function.

Technology, Comfort, and Privacy

Every interior feature comes from a precise design decision. For this reason, lighting and sound received special attention. Moreover, the business-class seat uses advanced technology for music and film viewing. At the same time, smart glass ensures full privacy. As a result, the capsule supports work, rest, and sleep equally well.

User Interface and Smart Control

We also designed a simple and intuitive control system. As a result, users manage all functions with one finger. In addition, a built-in monitor shows real-time flight data. Therefore, the alarm function ensures timely boarding without stress.

Relaxation and Sensory Design

To improve relaxation even further, we added calming LED lighting and healing-frequency music. For this reason, stress and anxiety drop noticeably. At the same time, these elements support better sleep in busy environments.

In terms of aesthetics, we selected premium textures and clean forms. As a result, the capsule feels both luxurious and calming. Moreover, ergonomic function and modern design blend into one coherent shape.

Final Product and Market Vision

We refined many existing market ideas into one unified system. Through this process, the capsule gained multiple layers of function. As a result, Airpod now serves as a private sanctuary within crowded public spaces.

Ultimately, this is the first in a new generation of sleeping capsules. Therefore, Airpod introduces a smarter, calmer, and more human way to travel.
