Skin Furniture Gives Me

Walloffice Is Smallest Home-Office Solution, Not For Shiny Floors
This Wallflower Walloffice desk from Jonas and Jonas design may hold the record for the smallest and simplest home-office solution: It's got just two legs, and is made from a one-piece bent-laminate structure you lean up against the wall. Nevertheless, it looks useful, is "scratch and shock-resistant" and "allows for any kind of strain," though I'd be a tad reluctant to try the ol' office-nooky-on-the-desk maneuver, no matter how strain-resistant it is.

Modular Workspace is an Obsessive Compulsive Organizer's Dream
The “Out of Sight Out of Mind” (OSOM) table concept has everything a neat freak could possibly want in a workspace—plenty of space, tons of modular storage units and ergonomic design touches like an writing/typing space that can be angled for comfort. You can even customize the layout to suit your needs. Again, it is only a concept at the moment but it definitely has potential. More »

1.5TB FreeAgent XTreme Anchors Onslaught of Stylish Seagate Hard Drives
That there is the grandpappy of those leaked Seagate hard drives, the 3.5-inch, 7200RPM, 1.5TB FreeAgent XTreme. It connects via USB 2.0, FireWire 400 or eSATA, the latter of which transfers files at a blazing 3GBit/second. Available in October, the $300 LED-filled drive comes in three more sizes starting at $160 for 500GB. Seagate launched a whole slew of other HDDs too, including 5400RPMers, 2.5" slim drives in four colors and two Mac-ready drives that'll save you the inconvenience of running Disk Utility for $40-$70 more than their PC-counterparts.

Futuristic Origami Desk Cut and Folded from a Single Sheet of Steel
No doubt about it, this is one bad-ass-looking desk. But the 3Fold from Formtank is more than just a striking visual design—it is also impressive because it was cut and folded from a single sheet of steel using CAD/CAM technology. Formtank bills it as an excellent CEO desk, which is why it takes CEO money to buy one. Constructing your own version starts at around $7,000. [Formtank via Core77 via Boing Boing]

Brainstorming Room Accelerates Ideas to Warp 9
This is Kage Roi, a room that listens to conversations using speech recognition. It identifies keywords and constantly searches the web for related material, displaying information and images to help brainstorming sessions. In theory, combined with lighting that simulates the changes in sunlight, boosts people's creativity. An amazing idea that, for obvious reasons, we would never be able to use here at Giz.

Stealth Figher Design Cues In The Kinzo Air Office Desk
The Kinzo Air from Kinzo Architecture might make working in a proper office bearable. Although with its Stealth-fighter design cues, a guy wearing a HUD helmet with oxygen might be more at home behind it than an accountant. It looks like its perched on the ground momentarily, ready to speed off— in fact I'm sure it's radar-invisible, although it would be the worst desk to carelessly bump into ever. It does have integrated drawer, cable-concealer, bin and similarly-sleek filing cabinet, and it's modular with single and double versions. [Yanko design]

Thanko's Lazy Geek's Cushion, Perfect for Prone PC Action
Ages ago I admitted to being a floor-lounger, and it looks like Thanko has come up with a solution that'll let me combine lazing around and blogging for the Giz at the same time. I might rename it from Lazy Geek's Cushion to "Relaxed Blogger's Desk" though. Looking a little like a massage table, it's 31 x 19 inches across, and can be propped up at a variety of angles from flat to about 30 degrees so your arms reach your notebook... and see that little space for your chin? Looks comfy. No info on pricing, but I'd love to import one. I'd just have to persuade my wife that it's a good idea, and not ugly at all. [Akihabaranews]

Azoo Eco-Desk Puts a Self-Cleaning Aquarium in Your Desk
I'm pretty sure Missy Elliot had something similar to Azoo's Eco-Desk, which has a self-cleaning tropical fish aquarium contained within a glass and aluminum body. Alas, hers was made by Lamborghini, so this is the poor man's / international female hip-hop star's iteration, but it's still a bit of cool for your apartment. The glass top rests on a hinged support, which can be pulled open to allow Nemo to escape back home, or better yet, add some company to the captives inside. The aquarium contains Azoo's solution for biological, water and temperature control, meaning you don't have to worry about anything other than why your Coi Carp look so damn uncomfortable. More »

Cat Desktop Bed Is a Good Idea, But Cats Will Never Go For It
Our resident cat expert, Mark Wilson, tells me that cats will never go for this desktop cat bed. It's not that it's a bad idea—a clamp-on bed so your cat can sit close to your hands, but not close enough to mash keys on your keyboard—but it's just impractical. Mark claims his cat loves jumping in his arm, his hands and his stomach whenever he's doing work. This bed would just give the cat a little perch to leap off. Just look at the cat's eye language. It's saying, "watch out bitch, here I come." [The Refined Feline via DVICE via Oh Gizmo via Geekologie via MAKE]

Desk Grommet With Cable Trap Looks Incredibly Useful
This grommet is just a design, but we wonder why it took someone this long to come up with such a genius (and obvious) idea. Like a regular desk grommet, it's a big hole that lets cables through. Unlike a regular desk grommet, it's got notches on the side of different sizes to grasp and hold your cables so they don't fall on the ground, making you breath in dust for a few seconds as you fish it back out. Again, design for now, but we'd love to see this thing be standard in every desk. [Yanko Design]

Treadmill Desk Promotes Hamster-itis
Developed by both Steelcase, a furniture manufacturer, and James Levine from the Mayo clinic, this treadmill desk allows you to game, work or just look at salacious pictures on the internet and "work out" at the same time.

As silly as it sounds, if we could buy one of these for our offices we probably would—sitting in front of a computer for 18 hours of the day doesn't promote any sort of fitness regime anyone but the fat ladies on The View would recommend.

Custom Electric Table Has Plugs Right in the Table
Forget Lifehacker tips for cord organization to make your desk neater. When you have a custom Electric Table by Broberg & Ridderstrale of Stockholm, your entire desk is your outlet. These guys custom create a desk that plugs into the wall, which powers custom outlets embedded all over the face, sides, and legs of the table. The end result? Your devices can be plugged in right where they sit, which makes for a lot less cable clutter. The downside of this desk is, of course, that you can never reorganize your desk. Ever.

Japanese Chair Desk Optimizes Space For Tiny Japanese Workers
Just when you thought you've graduated from college and escaped the desk + chair combination furniture, here comes the Thanko Chair-Desk.
