In what has become known as the sharing economy, where everything from accommodation and personal drivers are for hire over the internet, and is growing considerably in the U.S. and Europe, a project called Breather will be launching on-demand space conducive for both work and relaxation for those on the move.
Expected to launch in October 2013 in New York City, one of the world’s busiest and most populated, a Breather that offers a beautifully designed space with fast wi-fi, a couch, a desk and plenty of outlets can be found an reserved using your smartphone phone – but you’ll need to be a registered member. However, once a user sets up a profile and inputs their payment details, the app then verifies the individual’s identity and there‘s no need to ask for permission to reserve a room.
The space can be used for 30 minutes, a few hours or the entire day and according to Breather.com, can be used for a multitude of activities – aside from staying overnight – including client meetings, preparing for a presentation, napping, meditating, teaching, reading or even just to charge your laptop.
Breather founder and CEO Julien Smith says that “œI wanted to give people a place where they could get peace and quiet, anytime, whatever their reason for it. A Breather is like a little studio apartment or office. We make sure it‘s always nicely furnished, with good wifi you don‘t have to ask the password for. They‘re always quiet, private, and clean…you own the space for the short time period you‘re there.“
