Walter Craven created Kabin during lockdown to solve his desperate need for personal space, transforming a cardboard prototype into a revolutionary office product that gives users control over their environment.

• Kabin is not an acoustic pod but an experience-focused space where users face outward in a throne-like position
• The unique faceted design serves acoustic purposes for both users inside and colleagues outside
• Walter's journey from Boston to San Francisco to London was driven by prioritizing family and working to live rather than living to work
• Kabin faced major challenges with price point and assembly complexity that Walter overcame through innovative redesign
• Kabin's built-in technology creates customizable moods through ambient soundscapes like rainfall or café noise
• The business is expanding from its UK success to the US market following strong demand and dealer interest
• Walter's entrepreneurial spirit comes from his parents who ran a successful Boston ironworks for 52 years
