Fishbowl
In keeping with my workspace theme of the day, this wallpaper is hilarious used in a little nook. Would you really want to feel like you were in a fishbowl if you were relegated to working in such a small space?
Reader request - double desks
Today's reader request is from logsy: I recently discovered your blog (love it) and found myself wading through the first 100 pages in one sitting. Throughout this I saw a double desk (two chairs, two computers, side by side) and forgot to save the picture for inspiration. I now can't find the page it was on. With this in mind, I was wondering if you'd consider doing a blog post on double desks? Here you go logsy, some side by side desks and a few that are different options for 2-for-1 workspaces.

Office lovelies
Mr Jason Grant, Aussie stylist extraordinaire has teamed up with Officeworks and the result? A gorgeous catalogue brimming with the sweetest office ideas. Simple, stylish, functional and easy on the pocket. Jason sent us some pics of the shoot plus the finished product. To see more head here to the online catalogue. (Forgot to say the photographer is Derek Swalwell. Dreamy photos!)
mode:lina
We received an email the other day from Jerzy Wozniak, one of the founders of the relatively new (since 2009) Poland-based architecture firm mode:lina. The firm recently finalized their premises in an elegant 60's building basement in Poznan and they wanted to share it with us. "Faithful to the idea of using cheap materials without cheap appearance, designers used lacquered OSB boards for the flooring and furniture. Desks, also made of OSB, are covered with artificial leather to make sketching and drawing more comfortable. Luminaries are produced out of standard profiles used for gypsum-cardboard wall systems and fluorescents. OSB office furniture brings more intimate atmosphere and hides all the cabling and recycle bins." Fantastic workspace!! I love the use of OSB on the desks and floor giving the furniture a seamless look. And with the white walls and black desk tops it's a modern and funky colour scheme that I am really into right now.

I went poking around their blog and found some cool photos of some of their work-in-progress projects that I wanted to share as well. (Check them out after the jump).
