You know those desks that have the rolling tambour doors that slide open and closed to expose or hide the desk? Well, Brooklyn-based industrial designer Michael Bambino took that idea and flipped it on its head with his Tambour Table. It’s a desk/computer table that looks like your average work table. Not so…
London-based Minimalux has a collection of products made of copper, silver, brass, and glass. Designer Mark Holmes, who also co-founded Established & Sons, has an eye for creating beautifully shaped objects that also serve a purpose. The items are simple, yet they are offered in premium materials making each one a minimal and sleek work of art. We pretty much want everything.
How would you like to work in an office like this?
Dufaylite, makers of a 100% recyclable, robust and versatile core material (recycled paper honeycomb) partnered with Leeds-based Duke Studios for a truly unique workspace environment. They created ten studio offices using their substrate material called Ultra Board.
Remember our post on backyard offices? You can add this one to the list! The Tetra Shed might just be the perfect solution for those looking for a private home office space. Place the geometric-shaped unit in your yard to accommodate your office or storage needs. One of the cool things about it is that you can expand it beyond a single module and create larger workspaces. They could even be used as a guest room, garden shed, or kid’s playhouse.
The No. 216 sideboard, by Swedish designer Jesper Ståhl for Voice, is one sleek piece of storage furniture. The idea behind the design was for the door compartments to correspond to the A-series paper standards that are used worldwide. A0 (square meter) being the size of the whole unit and all the way down to A8 (74 mm x 53 mm), the smallest door on the unit. The doors are various shades of green giving it a bright, fun feel while the body of the unit and the legs are made of ash veneer.
I love the smartly designed furniture from the Paris-based Kann Design. They work with a mix of designers to create a solid collection of mid-century inspired classics that would work in any style home, especially their Recycled Collection.
While pixelated can be a dirty word in the field of photography, in design we welcome it. This collection is just a bit (ha!) of all the fun pixelated design out there. Here are over 15 of our favorite pixelated designs:
Let’s start out with Cristian Zuzunaga who might as well be the king of all things pixelated. We’ve featured his to-die-for Pixel Couch before but check out his Digit rug collection for nanimarquina.
Who wouldn’t want to rush to work everyday if they got to work in an office like the designers in LEGO’s development department? Located in Billund, Denmark, the open-concept plan was designed by Rosan Bosch and Rune Fjord and completed in 2010. The open space allows the designers to not just co-exist but to actually work closely together.
Manufactured in Switzerland, the D7 workstation is an office system designed by Denz. Focused around organization, this desk is much more functional than meets the eye.

The Miami, Florida-based interactive marketing firm of BGT Partners is now located in a brand new 30,000 square foot loft-like space that has zero cubicles. Instead they opt for collaborative spaces. Who wouldn’t be happy about that?
