Why Brand Your Office Pod?
In 2026, office design is a direct expression of brand identity. Every touchpoint in your workspace from the colour of the walls to the finish of the furniture communicates something about your organisation’s values, attention to detail, and culture. A branded acoustic pod takes this principle further by creating a highly visible, three-dimensional brand expression at the centre of your office floor.
A branded Kraft-Obench pod finished in your company colours, featuring your logo on the glass, and completed in materials that match your wider workspace design tells every employee, client, and visitor something important about your organisation’s commitment to quality. It is workspace design that doubles as brand marketing.
This guide covers everything you need to know about customising a Kraft-Obench pod for branding purposes in India — from the brief process to material selection, lead times, and pricing.
What Can Be Customised on a Kraft-Obench Pod?
Kraft-Obench offers one of the most comprehensive customisation programmes available for acoustic pods in India. The following elements can all be specified to your exact requirements:
Exterior colour can be matched to any RAL colour standard or applied as a full vinyl wrap in your brand colour. Acoustic panel fabric can be specified in any colour from our standard fabric range or sourced from your interior designer’s material specification. Logo application is available as sandblasting or acid etching on glass panels, vinyl application on exterior surfaces, or digital print on interior fabric panels.
LED lighting can be specified for colour temperature, RGB colour, and dimming profile. Desk surfaces are available in high-pressure laminate in any colour, real wood veneer in oak, walnut, or teak, or branded surface printing. Custom dimensions are available for pods that need to fit precisely within an architectural feature or branded installation context.

Popular Branding Applications Across India
Branded pods serve a wide range of commercial purposes across India’s different industry sectors. Technology companies in Bangalore use branded pods in reception and collaboration areas to reinforce brand identity for talent acquisition candidates who visit a well-designed, branded office are more likely to accept offers.
BFSI institutions in Mumbai use branded interview pods and client advisory booths that communicate professionalism and confidentiality simultaneously. Hospital networks in Hyderabad use branded consultation pods that create a consistent patient experience across multiple facilities. Co-working spaces in Pune brand pods as premium product differentiators that justify higher membership pricing.
Material Options for Indian Conditions
India’s climate requires careful material selection for branded pods that must maintain their appearance for 5 to 10 years. For exterior surfaces, UV-stable vinyl wraps with a protective laminate overlay resist fading from sunlight and remain dimensionally stable through India’s temperature swings. For coastal and high-humidity locations, moisture-resistant HPL desk surfaces and sealed acoustic panel facings are essential.
These specifications are standard across all Kraft-Obench products including the Work Pod and Vocal Pod. For custom branded pods, all materials are specified to meet or exceed these baseline standards, ensuring that your brand investment maintains its appearance throughout the pod’s commercial life.
Cost of Custom vs Standard Pods
Custom branding adds 15 to 25 percent to the base pod price depending on the complexity and quantity of branding elements. A single logo etch on glass at one end of the price range; full exterior vinyl wrap with custom fabric, RGB lighting, and logo-printed interior panels at the other. Volume discounts make branding economics significantly more attractive for fleet orders.
Our Clients page includes companies that have deployed 10 to 50 branded pods across national office networks including in Delhi and Gurgaon. For these organisations, the per-unit branding premium is typically 8 to 12 percent at fleet scale a highly cost-effective brand investment relative to other corporate design expenditures.
Case Study: Hyderabad SaaS Company
A fast-growing SaaS company in Hyderabad ordered 12 branded Nano Pods for their new office. Each pod was finished in the company’s signature teal and charcoal colour palette with logo-etched glass panels and custom acoustic fabric in a complementary grey. The pods were installed across two floors over a single weekend.
In the quarter following installation, the company reported a 34 percent improvement in employee workspace satisfaction scores and a measurable reduction in unsolicited noise complaints from the open plan teams adjacent to the pod clusters. The branded pods also featured prominently in the company’s employer branding photography and social media content, delivering marketing value well beyond the original workspace investment.
