One of the keys to designing a visually dynamic office is having great lighting, and the Paperfold lamp series created by Sweden’s Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture firm offers just that. The Paperfold series is comprised of six lamps, all of which were inspired by hand sewn paper clothes Fredrik Kjellgren’s grandmother taught him to make during his childhood. The lamps are constructed from a piece of paper stretched and folded to form a unique shape, and come in four colors; magenta, cyan, amber, and black. read more »
If for some reason you are trying to design your office to look like the apple store, then the Signalement Desk is a pretty good piece of furniture to start with. The height-adjustable desk was designed by Germany’s Peter Petersen as part of his Tank Collection, and is made entirely of medium density fibreboard.
The desk comes in a standard finish of white high lustre varnish, and according to the website “radiates lightness and elegancy just like a ballerina who barely touches the floor”. While I’m not so sure about the whole ballerina comparison, the desks smooth curves and sturdy materials make this piece of furniture a solid choice for any office design.
