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.

This Deskology Inbox breaks desktop paper management down to its most basic utility. Anodized aluminum-construction gives the piece a touch of industrial panache, while an underside lined with sustainable cork gives it a little intelligent texture.

Funky Mouflon

First to recommend

Description

The Mouflon is a subspecies of wild sheep that lives in northern Iran. Unfortunately, when you find the skull of this animal, it rarely looks like this. But wouldn't it be great if it did? You can hang this polyresin head on your wall and pretend.

Bubble Calender, a poster-sized calendar with a bubble to pop every day.

28 people recommended this item

Description

It seems like a no-brainer to mix a wall calendar with the satisfaction of popping bubble wrap. But the problem with these freaks who get off on popping bubble wrap all day is that they simply can't stop. So come January 4rd, they're already moving in on New Year's Eve. But then again, the real genius here would be getting these people to buy the calendar all over again.

Garbini Can

First to recommend

Description

A desktop variation on Karim Rashid's now-iconic Garbino Wastebasket, this Garbini Can is a bit more appealing than that coffee mug you're currently using. One of Rashid's tricks is to scream "design" with loud coloring, and this can will stand out on your desktop in conspicuous way.

Mouse in a Pint (Non-Lethal Mouse Trap)

First to recommend

Description

I get ridiculed in the office a little bit for catching bugs in cups so I can transport them to the office window and set them free. This mousetrap takes the cruelty-free capture theme to the next level. I'm not sure where I would take a mouse to let it go, but capturing a rodent (trapped by its own inability to pass up a good breadstick, no less) in a pint glass, seems like a mid-day adventure I can get behind.

CDT Universal Scissors

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

If for no other reason than the fact that you just never come across a really awesome looking scissors, I'm going to recommend this CDT Universal Scissors. Created by Craft Design Technology in 2006, this scissors is made from solid stainless steel and brings an inviting touch of design to an otherwise mundane functionality.
