Estonia-based Ööd has unveiled a $19,900 office in a box that will soon be available for purchase on Amazon.
The office comes in two sizes, with the larger one including a kitchenette and bathroom.
The smaller, almost 97-square foot Ööd office in a box can fit two people.
Ööd's office was created out of new demand, and the company has seen so much interest from US-based customers, it plans to open a branch in the US next year.
Ööd has unveiled a $19,900 backyard office in a box that will soon be available for purchase on Amazon.
The Estonia-based company was first founded in 2016 by two brothers, Jaak and Andreas Tiik, who were planning a weekend hike outing, but couldn't find a tiny home in a desirable spot that fit their aesthetic, size, or quality needs. This realization then laid the groundwork for what would become the Ööd hotel concept, which has now expanded to include five other iterations: a studio, a play room, a yoga room, a winter garden, and now, an office.
The office iteration only took Ööd a couple of weeks to create because the design of all of the company's products are the same, according to Ööd's sales director Kristi Kivilaid.

"We have a sauna and steam room unit based on the same frame as the home office, so all we had to do was change some technical details and make the unit a comfortable, usable space for office purposes," Kivilaid told Business Insider in an email interview.

"We did listen to our customers' comments and decided to create a home office unit suitable for any environment," Kivilaid wrote. "We realized that now is the time to design a safe working place which can be placed in your backyard, and the home office is exactly the product that the market needs."

As a result, the company will now be opening a US branch next spring to address this "big potential" of US customers, according to Kivilaid.

Because the interior of the unit is flexible and can serve several purposes, Kivilaid thinks the office in a box will remain popular even after the coronavirus pandemic is over and people are no longer required to work from home.

The office has its maker's signature mirrored exterior, which compliments the interior's minimalist appearance and allows the unit to both blend into its environment and stand out, according to Kivilaid.

The mirrors also reflect about 80% of sunlight, and can nearly prevent anyone outside from being able to look in, according to Kivilaid.

"Being inside the huge glass facade creates the feeling of the outside and inside becoming one," Kivilaid wrote. "It gives the house an open spacious feel even though it's a small house."
