Office Desks: Part 12

Am I the only one who still loves the design qualities of the classic roll top desk?  Just found this one while on my quest for a new office desk.  The All American Cherry Emerson Cylinder Roll Top Desk II (could they have named it something longer?) has one pullout writing surface, one utility drawer, and three drawers behind the rolltop.

The desk is available from  Computer Desks N More for $1049.

Office Desks: Part 9

Ok so for most of my office desk series I have shown you guys a bunch of great desks, all of which I really like, but most of which aren’t really all that practical.  So to change things up I wanted to show you this gorgeous black desk which has more of a classic office design feel as opposed to the more modern minimalist designs I have shown you up until now.

The Portofino Decorative Desk is made by Stanley Furniture, and offers an aged appeal with extreme antiquing and the Portofino’s signature rub-thorough finish.  It features a center keyboard drawer, two utility drawers, and one file drawer, and comes in either ivory or basque black.

You can buy the desk at Black Lion Furniture for $1179.

Kinzo Air Office Desk

If my morning coffee routine ever stops giving me the energy boost I need to get work done fast, it looks like simply sitting in the vicinity of this office desk will accelerate my work flow to the speed of light…which is not surprising when considering the fact that it was inspired by space shuttles.

Office Desks: Part 3

bureau desk

This uniquely shaped office desk comes from designer Martin Holzapfel and is called the Bureau.

The design is a combination of two functions: a desk and a shelf, both of which can be moved around and positioned freely to fit the space in your home office, making it a great option for those with limited space or those looking for a flexible corner desk.

The shelves give the user the option to store things out of plain view and are large enough to fit your laptop, office supplies, or books.

Office Desks: Part 2

milk-desk

Next up in my office desk series is the MILK desk by designer Soren Kjaer. The desk aspires to appear smart but not overly sophisticated, to unite simple form with practical function, and is truly one of the more visually appealing computer desks I have come across.

Aside from making your Mac look even more pretty, the MILK desk features a built in fish tank, garbage bin, pen holder, file cabinets, height adjuster, cable drawer, and an iPod storage box. It measures 55.12′ by 31.49′ and comes in a white high gloss lacquer with a massive aluminium or chrome foot.

You can buy the MILK desk HERE.

The Anti-Theft Lunch Bag

If there’s one thing I have learned in the corporate world, its that you can never hide your lunches quite well enough. While I believe that most people are intrinsically good, there appears to be some sort of ethical loophole in most offices where people are able to casually justify stealing someone elses lunch.

If you work in an office where anything short of hiding your lunch bag inside of a empty carton of soy milk will get your lunch stolen, then you might consider investing in these very clever Anti-Theft Lunch Bags.

The Anti-Theft Lunch Bags are regular sandwich bags that feature green splotches printed on both sides, giving your carefully crafted sandwich a rather moldy appearance which is sure to fend off any potential lunch thieves.

Halloween Ghost Computer Mouse

halloween ghost mouse

Despite the fact that Halloween only comes once a year, someone thought it a good idea to make a Halloween Ghost Computer Mouse to satisfy the needs of that crazy guy/girl in the office who is obsessed with holiday decorations.

The 3-button optical wheel Halloween mouse glows in the dark, supports USB/PS2, and has a resolution of 800dpi.

Also, according to the Fabstuff.net the mouse is “completely harmless and will accompany you on your journeys through the web”, so I guess there is no need to worry about any freak-accidents happening.
