The Perfect Office #1ListThumbs

The Perfect Office #1
Lately we've seen some great gadgets and equipment for designers. So many cool stuff, that we could actually assemble infinite perfect office spaces! Every week we'll assemble a perfect office, and we'd like you to help us. What equipment would the perfect office have?
Not only gadgets and equipment, but also furniture, sound system, gaming stuff (for lunch time!). A designer is totally allowed to dream with the perfect office, and that's what we're gonna do here! Comment telling us your suggestions, or even better, you may tell us via twitter (mine and fabio's), using #abdz_ofc so we can check it. Alright? I hope you guys enjoy this brief selection, and together we can make this an awesome new weekly post! Cheers. ;)
Good Afternoon Clock
The Good Afternoon clock by Japan's Mile Project almost gives the impression that time is but a ghost. Narrow rays of light that sneak through small slits in the bezel act as second, minute and hour hands. A great piece if you are already really zen about time, but perhaps nerve-wracking for those in a constant hurry. (via MoCo LoCo)
Brunton Flip-N-Drip Coffee Maker
Make yourself a fresh cup of joe on the run with the Brunton Flip-N-Drip Coffee Maker ($45). Simply boil water in the base, attach the brew chamber filled with your favorite coffee, and flip the unit over to begin percolating a great cup of coffee. (via uncrate)
Modular Lamps
Be illuminated by innovative design. These modern, modular lamps by Korean designer Park Woo Sung are as stylish as they are functional. Customizable lamp shades are modeled on traditional Korean curves and the concept of block-piling. (via Trendir)
Ceramic Speakers by Joey Roth
Designer Joey Roth (of Sorapot fame) recently sent us images of his sharp-looking new speakers, which soft-launched at Nooka's pop-up store at Den in NYC (see details below). Made from porcelain, wood and cork, Roth chose the materials not only for the aesthetic appeal they add to desktops, but also because porcelain's density and "acoustical deadness" rivals that of wood or plastic enabling the cone shape.

RGB Sensor Pen
This is RGB sensor pen, that analyses any object, detects its color, and instatly mixes inks so that when you write down, the color you see is the one you've picked. (via Eu Quero!)
Scratch-n-Scroll noteable mousepad
Can't seem to keep an unused stack of sticky notes near your dear mouse? Fret not, as the geniuses over at Quirky have popped out yet another 'well duh / must-have' product in the Scratch-n-Scroll. Rather than promising that its newest surface can help you frag more intently, smell better or just appear more heroic, this 'noteable mousepad' is apt to be one of the poorer mousing mats on the market.

Toshiba 5400RPM 640GB hard drives
It's no speed demon, but Toshiba's newest 2.5-inch hard drive sure lets you store an awful lot of precious memories on a single unit. The 640GB MK6465GSX drive spins at 5400RPMs and is said to be the industry's largest in this form factor. The range also includes 500GB, 320GB, 250GB and 160GB models, with the whole lot shipping out to OEMs and distributors later this month. (via Engadget)
Herman Miller Embody Chair
After recently putting this three-layer flexible chair to the test, we found its supportive structure extremely comfortable but also appreciate its myriad customization features hidden in a minimalist appearance. The Embody chair sells online from Design Within Reach for $1400. (via Cool Hunting)
G's 15-inch OLED screen
Amazing how a few well framed PR shots can reignite gadget lust, just when it seems extinguished. Sure, LG's 15-inch OLED HDTV will probably follow the path of Sony's $2,500 11-inch XEL-1 to the land of ridiculously overpriced trinkets that few can or will purchase and eventually falls by the wayside when larger, cheaper options become available. (via Engadget)
Asus Eee Keyboard
We spotted some Asus keyboards last week, but none were nearly as potentially awesome as the official Eee Keyboard. Featuring wireless HDMI, it's a "fully functional PC" with full QWERTY and a mini secondary touchscreen. (via Gizmodo)

Adorei o relogio de parede, mas eu quero aquela caneta! hahahahahahahaha!
Half of these stuff is just a concept.
The most impossible thing is the RGB ink. :)

wow, those are some snazzy office gadgets.
Wow, that's some pretty impressive equipment. Bookmarked for sure!
that's a nice office : http://emberapp.com/logeen/images/new-offices-freelance-webdesigner/sizes/l
Unfortunately I don't have much money saved and have been looking at websites such as www.helpx.net which i'm sure you are all familiar with. This will cut the food & board costs right down for the time I am staying and working with these people. I would
Love the modular lamp.
Thanks for sharing!
I love the lamps!!
Any designer worth his salt would know that an RGB pen doesn't even make sense. RGB is for the light spectrum where CYMK is for print. Mixing RGB couldn't make any necessary color, it would have to be CYMK.
RGB pen is impossible, RGB is used to recreate light not ink!
Printers for example use: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black
awesome idea! everyone's idea of the perfect office is different so it's interesting to see what gadgets ppl are using from around the world.
since the tech items like wacom tablets are more common, i'd like to suggest two items which i've posted on my blog:
1) Sorapot Teapot - http://www.adrian-ma.com/blog/2009/07/sorapot-teapots-form-function/
2) PolarClock Screensaver - http://www.adrian-ma.com/blog/2009/03/must-have-polarclock-screensaver-b...
What's wrong with using RGB to mix?
Using RGB I can mix BRY (Blue, Red, Yellow), and then mix enough colours to fool a human eye.
I could even mix CMYK from RGB.
Yeah, so you plan on building "perfect office spaces" with objects that don't even exist.. good job. Some of the things are pretty cool but, like the other commenter posted out... your post as titled makes no sense and is impossible.. try to stick with things that aren't just concepts. Unless you want to reword your post?
I love it! It reminds me of some of the stuff I saw on officedesigns.com. I like the modern lights and stuff. The ergonomic accessories are really nice to have too. They're really good for the back.
hey where can i dan the rgb pen sensor??? it`s for real or what?? I really want one!!
RGB pen? more like CMYK print... but still I think it isn't real, but still a good idea.
hmmm...
i m living in pathetic world
these Gizmos are mind blowing
very nice stuff.. specially RGB Pen & Lamp...
There's some great stuff for your office here, I love the clock...
