The design consists of two folded white planes suspended inside a dark wooden box. Contained within these planes are various functional requirements, from the main garment display racks [lit from above] to the AC ducts and vents. The cash counter was also tucked behind one of the planes, as is the large dressing area which is closed-off with a thick red curtain. Suspended from the metal trellis false-ceiling are hundred of flowers, lazer-cut from sheets of acrylic - a boisterous assemblage that offers a striking contrast to the straight lines of the folding planes below.

Given the fact that this space was to be designed to display crystals, the Black Pod as a mysterious space akin to a cave, within which, all objects and furniture were defined by one continuous material and tone against which the crystal would show. Due to the limited space of the pod, they defined the spaces within by allowing the ceiling to fold down towards the floor and then turn back up while never touching the floor, similarly the floor would rise up one meter to allow for displays hidden behind walls of each segment that oscillated in and out of the main space. In a more advanced design, the Black Pod is perceived as a space that can be explored from the outside as well as the inside, through interfaces, screens and projections.
