Office within the Office Creates Privacy (Sort of)
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 05.14.08
Back in the day when one would specify freestanding pedestal desks for secretaries, they would have an optional "modesty panel" so that visitors and co-workers couldn't look at their knees or worse. I wonder how one acts when the whole upper body is encased in this wonderful shed/office/house on legs designed by Soojin Hyun. You certainly won't go to work in your bathrobe. Or perhaps it is the reverse of that Anchorman joke, where you wear nice pants but don't need a top.
However once one gets over that objection it looks like a lovely, productive space Yanko says: “House on the table” by Soojin Hyun captures that same sense of implied privacy with its whimsical design. By creating a desk that combines bookshelves, a vaulted ceiling, four walls, look-out portals and interior lighting, you can spend your days defending your domain from the invading middle-management hordes." ::Yanko Design
this is very silly and rather impractical for an office setting - but i could imagine it might be useful in an open plan house or apartment where someone who works or, like me, goes to school from home. This would give the visual seperation that is often needed to get family to leave me alone! plus, it's really cute! lol
Topless is the new freedom!
OMG! It's an adult TREE FORT!!!
And yes, it's cute, albeit rather impractical for the average workplace...
What about ANOTHER little office inside this office-in-an-office?
I love this!! I wish I could have this at work.... where I work we are all lined up next to each other and there is NO privacy or private conversation....
I almost get it. But what's with the roof? And is that an escape hatch on top?
Protection from paper airplane assault, maybe. I'm pretty sure ceiling cooties are a thing of the past in modern offices.
