It’s no coincidence that some of the most successful companies (Facebook, Google, Microsoft come to mind) also have the coolest office space designs. It’s one thing to have the best people want to work for you, it’s another to have those people perform in their top gear because of a conducive work space.
From office supplies to office chairs, anything can be creative in the office if you dare to break from tradition. Now, let’s have a look at some cool office furniture items that’ll have employees having that little bit more incentive to clock in to work, or if not, at least steer them away from the mundane and into creative ideas.
Creative Office Furniture
Color Coding
These fun office dividers allow you to bid goodbye to those dreadful cubicles, while still allowing for a bit of privacy when you sneak in that requisite YouTube trip.
Multi-Prism
It need not always be a matter of making the most of limited space as this artsy, yet practical desk with pullout drawers does. The duality in this intelligent design lies in being a functional piece that also inevitably catches the eye of anyone new to the room.
Back to the Future
It harks back to Hollywood’s rendition of the DIY mad scientists. With the way most things these days are rehashed retro, coupled with how geeky has become the new cool standard, this office desk and chair ensemble certainly fits that very bill.
Woody
The comfort factor may be a bit iffy on this artful office chair rendition, but it’s certainly a conversation starter.
Have A Leg Up

Teamwork
This simple wooden desk and its open compartments is ideal for either those brainstorming sessions, or working on a group task. You can cook up a bunch of ways to utilize this understated piece, plus it certainly fosters work chemistry by itself.
Back-to-School
Doesn’t it just remind you of your desk as a primary school student? Or that rustic coffee table you didn’t particularly notice on your last holiday? Or a four-legged wooden minion? Whatever image your mind conjures up, it’s a small functional piece that complements almost anything next to it.
Stealth
This nesting desk set fits right about anywhere you need it to be. It serves its purpose like it should. And it has this subtle cool factor to it.

Mobile Cube
It’s not reinventing the wheel, but having them on these wooden shelves certainly makes it easier to move stuff around.

Connectivity
This office space’s clean lines, along with the subtle contrast between wood and white makes for a serious, yet relaxing workspace.

And while it may be deduced that these designs are hard to come by, people can take comfort in the fact that marvelous ideas like these are possible to execute, and that, it’s highly likely that they’re born in an equally-ingenious workstation.
