A place to hide, a warm cocoon, a biodegradable space, a felt pod… Hush is all of these things and more. Designed by University of Brighton graduate Freyja Sewell, Hush is a snuggly pod that offers a quiet place to hide and escape. Hand-sewn from biodegradable local grey felt, this object-space is a private micro retreat that can be set up practically anywhere.
In a world with an increasingly virtual connection between humans, where the majority of us have a public online profile, with CCTV cameras everywhere and new social networks sprouting all the time, it is nice – and healthy – to sometimes withdraw from it all. Spotted by Inhabitat at the latest New Designers Show in London, Hush offers a quiet, dark, soft, and natural place to take a break from the stresses of daily life and other people.

how much is it? i want to own one !
Amazing IDEA! I wasn’t introduced to private retreats for public spaces until I started school at SCAD. In the hub we have two clunky, plastic lounge chairs with hoods so you can shut the rest of the world out as you take a quick cat nap between classes. They are oversized, clunky, and definetly not sustainable.
You have truly created a product that is going to do so well! I can see these in sheek office spaces, or airports!
Look forward to following your product!
I love this design! As a graduate student I would love this in our college! Sometimes it’s nice to completely withdraw from everything, but to be able to seperate yuorself while still being in a public space would be great for stress!
