What if someone took all the objects in your office and exchanged them for designer versions?
Have the coolest work area
Pacman stapler
Who doesn't want one?
Pencil tree
Even if you used regular lead pencils, this would still look neat.
Delete key eraser
Gets the job done, just like on your screen.
Blackboard memo board
Small enough to take with you.
Connected fountain pen
This pen would take notes, then email them or send them as text messages.
Block of sticky notes
Literally.
Easy use waste bin
Never need to use your hands again.
Seat cushion
Feels like you're sitting on a baby's bottom.
DIY wall clock
Make a clock out of whatever you want.
World time desk clock
Tells you what time it is in 24 timezones.
Hook and pinboard-in-one
Use it for reminders not to leave anything on the hook.

Box of tissues
Sprout vase
Or maybe you prefer…
Mini terrarium people
Bookmark
Marks which page and line you were on.
Coffee mug
This coffee mug switches to “ON” when hot.

Flexible lamp
Wrap it around anything you like.
Isolation chair
When you just need time to think.
Computer desk
“…features Speakers, USB and Audio Hub, Monitor Stand, iPod Dock, Power Strip, Cable Channeling, Keyboard & Mouse, Laptop/A3 Paper Drawer, Drawing Utensil Drawer and Electrical Equipment Drawer.”
USB hub
I haven't seen a better looking USB hub yet.

All-in-one gadget charger
Great space and plug saver.
Callpod via Fubiz
Solar-powered battery recharger
Click through to see how you could stick it to a window.
Digital picture frame & camera
Take a picture and have it framed instantly.
Puck-like mouse
Takes scrolling to new lengths heights.
Rollup computer
I love how the whole system is basically one big touchscreen.

Where can I buy all 25?!
David- actually, most of the cool gadgets listed are real products and not just designer concepts. In fact, according to the designer’s website, the Pacman stapler should be available in a store at Azrieli in Tel Aviv.

Awesome! Now I just need a way to integrate my computer case into that desk.
Fantastic collection, things like this makes your work exciting…Thank you for sharing…
I love the stapler! The world time desk clock is pretty cool, too. Oh, well, I’ll take them all 🙂
Your timing is great for upcoming holiday shopping…
Wow!! now thats really kewl..but I am scared..if I keep all those things at my desk…i won’t find it the next day morning!!
Eric- contact the designer, maybe he can make you a custom version.
Melissa- I hadn’t thought about the holiday shopping aspect at all. This was an idea I’d had a while ago, and the group writing project made it a good time to get it done.
Shripriya- Yep, that could happen 🙂
