Goes to show what happens when people have waaay to much in Venture Capital in their hands.
A "confrence bike"??
Gimme a fugin' break!!! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27I was thinking the same, but I couldn't find any whores listed in the article as office furniture or executive toys. It did say 'pimp' didn't it??
- tektalk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27With stuff like this, I'd rather pimp the home office.
- trghpy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26Conference bike would make meetings a little less tedious.
I wonder if there is a laptop holder for the passengers... - aura, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Did anyone else decide it was digg-worthy when they saw the smoothwall?
- Sharkee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18If my start-up game company makes it- certainly no cubicles and hopefully this stuff.
- AbaraiRenji, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14when i think 'pimp my office', i think letting someone sit at my desk for 15 minutes and having him pay 50$ for that
- DeskFlyer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15The DC-3 wing desk rules.
- silverwolfe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11The smooth wall made my heart melt.
- benliong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10You go on digg when you're drunk?
- joel2600, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10the conference bike was by far the coolest item in that list.
at first i thought it was a horribly stupid idea... but now that i think about it, just the hilarity of trying to accomplish the task of riding the bike would make a lot of people more talkative, you've also got a closer proximity than you have in most meetings, and you get a workout.
i would use this sparingly though, and i think you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone to embarass themselves in front of their coworkers by getting on that thing. - iamcrazyed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9The meeting bed? The meeting bed???
Literally pimp your office. Geez, what are the ladeez gonna think when you invite them in for an interview??? - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9half of the chairs looked like sexual aides, the only one missing was "The Wedge".
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I'm too fat for that saddle chair.
- MattDavis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Companies waste enough money on BS like this that it makes employees head's spin 6 months down the line when the initial capitol is gone and there is no product. You sit there in your art-noir chair wondering how the company could have wasted so much on such crap instead of maintaining payroll until release. Ugh.
When I went from in office to being a "distance worker" (icky IBM term for telecommuter) the only thing I took from the office was my chair. A basic, down to business beat to hell "vader" chair that's comfy practicle and has lasted low these 4 years under my butt.
It swivels, rolls, reclines and has armrests. Anything else is extraneous crap. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Word to your motherboard.
- jonr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I like the softwall, and the milkdesk seems to be a nice design, The rest not so much.
- Daniel001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Mine too. Unfortunately, I think an office partition made out of white paper would get very battered/dirty quite quickly.
- kapi, on 10/12/2007, -7/+13After seeing the headline, my first thought to pimp an office was to get some ho's.
- bcasper1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6i thought the bibliochair was pretty neat.
- jellomizer, on 10/12/2007, -10/+16Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.... Oh your serious arnt you? Well um good luck on your venture.
- EvilFerret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Pretty cool pics..... Now, where do you buy them? The article should have included links for purchase or at least the company that made the concepts for them.... It's 6:50am right now and I'm pretty drunk.... I buy things when I'm drunk, it's how I got the majority of my more expensive equipment... They could have easily made $1000+ if they had provided links to the few of these items. *****.....Somebody post a link of something crazy to buy, I need to buy something.
- JCGV, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5please do. I would love to see a beanbag fly across the room
- azAZ09, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5...Unless you work for a design/architecture firm, where you job is to introduce other companies to new ways to create interesting spaces and ideas. Then this all is a capital investment--projecting the right image builds trust with clients.
I agree though--most companies just need efficient workstations, offices that fit the function. - yelper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Isn't that crazy chair a Klingon chair?...
- redheadguy719, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4everything there looked like something they'd have at google headquarters
- gr3yn3t, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3someone needs to send this link to Steve Ballmer..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3wow user submitter actually works I guess
- theearache, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I agree on pimping the home office, then you can use it all the time.
- Phssthpok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Stay out of Worf's chair or he will mount your head on it!
- kermithefrog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4pimp is not the word..
- azAZ09, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The Milk Desk is cool, except I like to put my legs under my desk, and it has that post in the middle--nice minimalist design though. The Softwall is an excellent idea. I kind of like the saddle chair--but not 100%. The Bibliochaise looks uncomfortable, but I'd like to put one in my library area where I need storage more than long-term seating.
The Stokke Garden Chair (the one that looks like a demented poofy tree), and The Meeting Bed look like they would make interesting furnishings for a porn movie.
At first I thought the poster was Morena Baccarin (Inara from Firefly), which would have been cool and worth a digg-up--I loved that show. But on second glance, it looks like it is actually Sarah Silverman--(meh). - jcaino, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6no, i decided it was digg worthy when i saw the poster of sarah silverman on the wall
rawr. - ryanwarnersteel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Another copy and paste from yesterday's Reddit. Exact title and sub heading. Really original there hoss.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7white people and pimping do go hand in hand. Wheres snoop when you need him.
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This stuff's great if your company spends its time blowing VC instead of providing products and services.
- versusgorilla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Dugg for Conference bike.
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I liked all of the chairs, the table designed with Apple in mind, and the partitioner. Everything else seemed crappy to me.
- PixelVision, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That furnishing method dominates my face!
- emehrkay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2saddle chair makes me think its for office-sex
- AD7GD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Forget that furniture, I want the poster of Morena Baccarin for my office!
- defnshow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Working, drinking beer, and using the 'meeting bed' seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen...
- grungegbunny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2MTV's next new show.. Pimp My Office
- SplitZX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The Wing Desk is from Moto Art, They had a show on Discovery Channel for a season about how they find and build things from old aircraft. Stuff is expensive but very nice.
http://www.motoart.com/ - ijustfloat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heh. Nice stuff. I would love to work in an environment where I could request some of that stuff...
- zuul86, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm a computer programmer, I need things square DAMN IT!
- EducationBlog, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1It'd be more interesting and funny to work, if we have one of these things
- Braxo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm on digg all the time.
- tinman79, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought the cord wood looked neat, but every stack of wood that I've ever seen is filled with all kinds of bugs and stuff that I would not want in my house or business
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm looking forward to the day we're done pimping things.
