Creating a Cooler Office, Piece by Piece - a list by designdude

About this list:

When you've got a closet and home to worry about making fashionable and design-savvy, the office is often the last space on your agenda. Ironically, you spend a third of your life there. Maybe you should pay a little more attention to making this space fun and inviting.

I'm writing this from my desk at work, aren't I?

STICKY SET: PARDON MY FRENCH

3 people recommended this item

Description

Not recommended for the company office (although this type of thing might actually go over well at ThisNext), this Pardon My French sticky kit is great for a laugh, particularly when placed on an item that everyone involved wants to complain about but just can't say it out loud.

Kontur Vase

First to recommend

Description

Normann's Kontur Vase takes a simple, sculptural form as the backdrop for flower presentation. At only 2.5" high, the silicone rubber vase is designed to show of what's inside, although the piece will look pretty decent on a surface by itself. Or try it as a penholder on your desk.

Fat Fingers XXL Calculator

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Less practical than laughable, this calculator conjures images of a smartass accountant pounding out numbers on a desktop that can't handle much more than this device.

Dot Table Lamp

First to recommend

Description

The Dot Table Lamp from wis design presents a smart, understated desk lamp with a fashionable touch. An exaggerated pearl necklace, made with tactile rubber, falls and clumps onto the base. The piece is just a concept, developed for Lampister, so keep your fingers crossed.

artala trash can

5 people recommended this item

Description

The wastebasket is an underutilized space for quality design that can add a little life to an otherwise bland office. This Joshua Davis/David Quan piece is also affordable enough for interior design on the cheap. (via musicfan)

Greato-Fu Oyako

First to recommend

Description

Because sometimes a 3" vinyl figurine just won't do, Greato-Fu Oyako stands a full 20" on your desktop, notifying everyone within 300 feet that you're a dork. Just kidding. This guy is cool, and if you turn his head around he turns that frown upside down.

Bosse Brass Mini Donkey

First to recommend

Description

A more subdued variation on the urban vinyl collectable, Austrian designer Walter Bosse's miniatures have been adding dazzle to desktops since the '40s. This tiny character is made from solid brass.
