Pod - 3636 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA (opened Oct. 3rd, 2000)

Restaurant designed by the Rockwell Group, still open today!

From Sept. 2000: “Pod serves Asian-style cuisine in a retro-futuristic setting intended to conjure up a 1960s Japanese version of the 21st century. The restaurant features two big “pods”. Up to nine buttons run along the wall of each of these pods, allowing diners to change the color of their seating area. Even the seats in the waiting lounge are “activated by your butt when you sit on them”. Toward the center of the restaurant, a plasma-screen television displays video clips – some “trippy and spacey” and others “tongue in cheek” – interspersed with footage of the restaurant. The delayed timing of the cameras in Pod allows diners to see themselves on the screen a few minutes after they enter the restaurant.”
