12 ways to pimp your office
When your office was furnished, did the shopping list go something like this:
- One desk. Gray.
- One ergonomic office chair. Black.
- One waste paper basket. Gray plastic.
- One filing cabinet. Gray.
You know – the usual stuff. Typical. Traditional. Booooooring!
I’m not going to claim that a fancy desk or a weird chair is going to magically improve your creativity and productivity – but I am damn sure, that all that sameness and eternal corporate grayness, does nothing good for your ability to come up with great new ideas.
Here are some ways to spruce up a workplace that may actually inject some color and fun into your work environment.
Got Milk?
The Milk desk is a new design to match your Apple gear with it’s white surface and rounded edges.
It lowers and raises electrically, it has ways to hide the cable clutter, and it also has four compartments at one end that can be configured for storage, trash or, yes, as an aquarium.
Partition magic
Softwall is a great way to flexibly partition a room. It’s made of paper with a felt core, and I love it because it doesn’t eat all the light in the room (if you go for the white one).
It can be twisted into just about any shape or rolled up when you don’t need it and it dampens sound more than most room partitioners. Plus it looks amazing!
The wing desk
Or how about a desk made from the wing of a DC3 plane?
The saddle chair
The starting point for the Haag Capisco is just your average, garden-variety office chair – but they’ve moved on from there. The saddle seat gives you a more erect posture and doesn’t cut of the blood flow to your legs.
The seat and back are constructed so you can sit sideways or reversed on it and still support your arms. And the whole thing tilts back into a very comfortable reclined position.
I’ve had one of these myself – they rock.
Bean bags
Bean bags look great and can be used in a million different positions. Four bags and a coffee table and you have a great meeting room!
I’m partial to the the Sumo Omni (pictured above) myself. Disclosure: They once sent me a free one to review here on the blog.
Bibliochaise
Where do you keep all your reference manuals and handbooks? Close to where you can sit and read them, of course! Meet the Bibliochaise.
Stokke Garden
It’s a tree. It’s a sculpture. It’s… I don’t know what it is, but I like it.
Since I first saw these, I’ve wanted one and only the huge price tag has kept from picking one up. It looks strange, but is actually supremely comfortable and allows you to sit/lie in many positions. I know, I’ve spent quite some time in a showroom testing one thoroughly :o)
The meeting bed.
When your business is innovation, your office can’t really look like any other corporate wasteland. London-based innovation agency ?WhatIf! know that – as evidenced by e.g. the life-sized plastic cow statue painted like Spiderman in the lobby and the big red couch/bed they use for meetings:
Conference bike
This has got to be the coolest idea in a long time. 7 people pedal along, one of them steers. It’s the conference bike and I want one!! I also mentioned this in my post on seeeeeriously cool workplaces.
Art tables
I was sitting in my usual café writing this blogpost when I spotted a lady at the next table looking through some pictures of weird and beautiful desks.
Of course I had to ask her what the story was. Turns out she’s Marie Westh, an artist and these are one-off tables she created, first for exhibitions and then later on as usable art pieces. Check out Marie’s website with many more weird and fantastic creations.
A balance act
This is more a metaphor than a piece of furniture – but it’s pretty cool all the same.
The idea is that three people can have a meeting where they must work together to hold their balance during the meeting. Like we must each contribute to a conversation, to make it balanced. Impractical – but cool! More here.
Wood wall
Or how about an entire wall covered in cordwood? Not only is it amazingly beautiful, it’s also great for the acoustics and it gives the wall a great texture.
I saw my friends at Connecta and their roommates build this from a huge stack of cord woodon the floor to the finished wall. Superb!!
The upshot
So is it the furniture that determines whether a company is creative and fun or staid and boring? Of course not! But the type and variety of furniture does reflect the mood at the company. If you have row upon row of identical, gray desks and chairs then odds are this is not the place wild ideas are born.
And why exactly is it that everyone must have the same desk and chair? Why not let people choose for themselves, and give them a chance to create an environment that suits them. The resulting variety may be confusing to those who think that business is about structure, order and control… but it’s sure to be more stimulating and fun for those of us who think that work is about being happy.
There are more pictures of cool furniture in this flickr set.

[...] When it comes to staff meetings, I’m a big fan of movement. For example, I love a good “walking meeting,” where I can stroll with my colleagues and get some exercise for the bod while working out the brain. Who wants to sit in a conference room staring at the walls, when there’s so much in the world around us that can spark new ideas? Plus, spring’s finally here and, well, I get restless. So naturally I got all stoked when I heard about the Conference Bike (one of Alexander’s many interesting ideas on his Pimp Your Office post). [...]

Cord wood is pretty, acoustically damping… and insects love it. And, because of the insects, spiders really dig it, too. Probably not recommended if you live in the mountains or the arid Southwest, in particular. Black Widow spiders are common in these areas.

These trinkets are for people that actually like being in the office all day and suffice it to say are probably in need of something to compenstae for their utterly vapid existance. Every one of those ideas lacks any real imagination, is totally impractical and a great way to waste cash and resources. Here is a better idea to brighten up any office: pot and prostitutes.

[...] A Conference Bike é uma bicicleta para 7 pessoas bem esquisitona, mas fantástica, todos pedalam e um dirige (e pedala é claro). O esforço para ir de um local a outro em 7 pessoas deve ser bem menor, e a chance de cair de um tricilio também é bem reduzida. Penso que é uma ótima idéia para diversos parques e praças. Em Buenos Aires há parques que há aluguel de bicicletas, de 2 lugares, mas um do lado do outro, e com 4 rodas, quase um carro, nem preciso dizer que é diversão garantida. E porque não pensar além e imaginar biciletas como essas no trânsito substituindo carros e ônibus? Mas e agora onde eu posso comprar uma dessas?

This is something Joel got right when designing his new office. One of his requirements; The office should be a hang out: a pleasant place to spend time. If you’re meeting your friends for dinner after work you should want to meet at the office.

visigraphic - 10 seeeeeriously cool workplaces Said,
June 14, 2007 @ 7:44 pm
[...] Physical space matters. It’s easier to be productive, creative and happy at work in a colourful, organic, playful environment than in a grey, linear, boring one.And I’m not talking about the outside of the building. Many companies have buildings that are sleek, modern, architectural glass-steel-and-cement sculptures on the outside – and cubicle wastelands on the inside. These companies need to remember that most employees tend to work inside the building.With that in mind, here’s some eye candy from 10 different innovative, well-designed workplaces.(Also check out my post on 12 Ways to Pimp Your Office).

Choosing suitable office furniture for a busy, heavily populated call centre requires a lot of thought. Practical considerations regarding ergonomics, acoustics and technical integration often out weigh the aesthetic considerations which contribute so much to a productive and enjoyable work environment.
I was responsible for sourcing and selecting the furniture for a recent call centre refit project and found many suppliers were quick to present their ‘out of the box’ solution without much consideration for the needs of the call centre workers. In the end I chose http://www.theglassoffice.co.uk and we have all been mightily impressed with their service, the installation and the environment that has been created.

The Milk Desk is pretty cool, but optical mouses don’t like white surfaces. Unless you get the black version of Milk, you’ll probably end up needing a mouse pad or (go for size with) a desk writing pad, which kinda defeats the purpose of having a clean, cool looking desk.

You non-Black hipsters using the word “pimp” as a complimentary verb are about as silly as they come. Real pimps are violent, nasty people who exploit women, but as long as you’re sheltered from that by your nice office job, keep parroting away.
