I don't know your boss's policy on allowing open flames on your office desktop, but imagine having this cool new Ponton Fireplace ($469) burning away while you work. This mini hearth was created by German designer Wolf Udo Wagner as an urban interpretation of a campfire. It's completely safe to burn indoors or outdoors, because the flames are fueled by bio-alcohol, which has minimal CO2 emissions, and it's made out of fire-resistant tempered glass and stainless steel. Some people may prefer a little candle flickering away for their entertainment and some people, like me, enjoy a tiny safely-contained raging bonfire for theirs! (via Michael Kiely)
